Popular Authors and Journalists From Our Past
Reading used to be so formal. When a minority of the populace could read, writers wrote just for the "elite". As more people were able to read, comic books, graphic novels, science fiction, bodice rippers, potboilers, mysteries and more genres became popular. This collection of photos highlights some of the popular authors and writers of their time.
