Description of Subject Matter: The Library of Congress and Laura Bush co-sponsor the National Book Festival. Started in 2001, it's a celebration of books and the joy of reading. According to the site, it "has something for anyone who has ever picked up a book and entered a new world, learned an amazing lesson or discovered a previously unknown fact." It also has a bunch of authors who you can listen to or have books signed by. It's a lot of fun! The official web site is http://www.loc.gov/bookfest
Wikipedia Description: National Book Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Book Festival is an American event organized by the Library of Congress annually in Washington, D.C.. Held in early autumn, the festival attracts tens of thousands of people each year (in 2005, 100,000 were in attendance), and invites over fifty nationally published authors, illustrators and poets for book signings and other activities. It also features various child-oriented attractions. First Lady Laura Bush has hosted the festival since 2001. In the past, authors appearing at the festival have included Sue Grafton, Christopher Buckley, R.L. Stine, Bob Schieffer, Clive Cussler, John Irving, Sandra Brown, and Sharon Creech. In addition, librarians from libraries across the country are invited every year to represent each state.
Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:

3. BOOKH2_070929_497.JPG: Lynn Novick is co-director/producer of THE WAR, an epic seven-part series that tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of nearly 40 men and women from four American towns. The series explores the most intimate human dimensions of the greatest cataclysm in history and demonstrates that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives. She has been involved in the creation of historical documentaries since the late 1980s. In 1989-1990, Novick served as associate producer for post production on the landmark The Civil War series, then became producer of the nine-part, 18hour series, Baseball, the most-watched series in the history of public television, and for which she won an Emmy Award. Following Baseball, Novick co-directed and co-produced a two-part biographical documentary film, Frank Lloyd Wright, which was shown at the Sundance, Telluride, Edinburgh and Seattle Film Festivals and then broadcast on PBS in fall l998; Novick and Burns won a Peabody Award for the film. Novick also produced the highly acclaimed 10-part series, Jazz, which explores in detail the culture, politics and dreams that gave birth to jazz music and follows this most American of art forms from its origins in blues and ragtime through swing, bebop and fusion. Jazz premiered on PBS in January 2001 and was nominated for five Emmy Awards. Novick was born in London in 1962 and grew up in New York City. She graduated magna cum laude from Yale in 1983, with honors in American Studies. After several years as a research assistant at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, Novick began her career in documentary filmmaking as a production assistant at Thirteen/WNET New York. She then served as researcher and associate producer for Bill Moyers on two major PBS series: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth and A World of Ideas with Bill Moyers. She lives in New York City with her husband, Robert Smith, and their two children.
4. BOOKH2_070929_651.JPG: Sarah Botstein, producer, THE WAR has worked with Ken Burns and Florentine Films for nearly a decade. She was an associate producer on JAZZ. Prior to joining Florentine Films, Sarah worked for Serino Coyne Public Relations and Owen Comora Associates, where she represented sponsors of Public Television and helped promote several Florentine Films productions, including: THE WEST, THOMAS JEFFERSON, LEWIS & CLARK: THE JOURNEY OF THE CORPS OF DISCOVERY, and FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT. Sarah is a graduate of Barnard College/Columbia University with a degree in American Studies. She lives in New York City and Walpole, New Hampshire.

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." Photos taken this year: 225,000. User page views this year: 13,500.
