At one time, while designing this website we decided to have a link called “About Us”. It was to introduce the owners and managers of 21st Century Books and to provide background and biographical data. After we wrote it we decided it was pretty boring and not something most people would find useful. Instead we decided a list of the books that most influenced us would be more interesting and useful. Since then we have been adding similar lists from friends, authors, customers, and others.
If you would allow us to add your list to this section, send us a couple of lines about yourself and a list of 10 or 12 books that have most influenced you. Send this information service@21stbooks.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
