The Shelf2Life Charter Collection is a unique opportunity for modern readers to experience antique volumes in a new format. All the titles in the collection are pre-1923 monographs that have been selected from the shelves of libraries, cultural heritage institutions or other reputable collectors. By bringing these volumes out of the stacks and making them available in print-on-demand and digital formats, the Shelf2Life project hopes to open these books up to new readers and new generations. With content as varied as historic mountaineering, trains and railroads and the American Civil War, these books are certain to find a new audience among historians, collectors and even hobbyists interested in traditional bookbinding, publishing and typesetting. Access to these works is an important tool to understanding our past and the people, events and experiences of our collective culture.

The American Scene
The candid reader, in confronting this narrative of temporary repatriation, and no less militant an attitude than confrontation will survive the persistently convoluted syntax of the book with wits intact, will find, apart from an often over-precious and even infantilizing tendency towards anthropomorphization, as if the book itself claims the same privilege of inanimate speech for its brethren that it alone truly enjoys, a wealth of jaundiced insight into the state of early 20th century America, delivered with such a euphemizing tone that that candid reader, if inattentive, might mistake this jeremiad for a harmless travelogue.
All in all, James seems happy that he left, although I can't think it healthy for him or for America.
