A few suggested 51ĀŅĀ× Press books to help you get started

Adult Fiction

Iā€™m in love with this book. Iā€™m laughing out loud at this book. I am knocked to my knees in grief by this book. One of the most powerful works of contemporary fiction Iā€™ve read in years. Iā€™ll never forget Dawn Jewell. Iā€™ll never escape Canard County.ā€ā€”Ann Pancake
• " by Gurney Norman (fiction). One of the centerpieces of modern Appalachian Literature, Kinfolks won the esteemed Weatherford Book Award for fiction when it was first published. These very short stories capture the voice and essence of rural family life in the region. 

Full-Color Books
