About This Quote

When it comes to anniversaries, the publishing industry usually resembles distant relatives, readiest with gifts that are redundant or farcical. For example, while most books published on an anniversary year will feature the same content, there is considerable variety in the way they are presented. The best example of this is a book called Inside Inflation: A History of American Savings and Loan . The book is a history of savings and loan associations in the U.S., from their inception in the early 1900s through to their collapse in the 1980s.

It is filled with details about each member of Congress at that time, their career path and career achievements. It also covers a wide variety of financial services offered by these institutions. Many of these topics may seem mundane to readers today, but they were certainly interesting enough to be worth writing about.
