But, for heaven’s sake. . . we can’t forget the many books that have helped us along the way. From history books to musical biographies to Iowa trivia, here’s our collection, listed by themes. Some, really old. Some, not. If you have any questions about any of these, let us know! We love chatting about these classics! BOOKS ARE LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY AUTHOR.
