Baker's research was published as \u003ci\u003eDouble Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper,\u003c\/i\u003e which won the National Book Critics' Circle award for non-fiction in 2002.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Now Baker and co-author Margaret Brentano have selected 85 of the finest examples of period reporting, bold and playful graphic design, long-lost comic strips, and society pieces from the heyday of the \u003ci\u003eNew York World\u003c\/i\u003e for reproduction in this delightful, oversized volume. Baker's introductory essay argues the significance and beauty of Pulitzer's paper, and Brentano's detailed captions and notes accompany the colorful reproductions throughout.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bulfinch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021190250736,"sku":"9780821261934","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780821261934_p0.jpg?v=1763751966","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780821261934","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
