Old State of Iowa Transportation Maps

Map

Last week, a patron asked if we had old Iowa road maps.  Specifically, one from 1957.  I wasn't sure.  So, I did what I usually do, and did a quick search online.  Luckily, the State Library of Iowa has PDFs available online of  Iowa Transportation Maps going back to 1952.  I thought it was cool to go back and look at how much the roads have changed.  You can check them out here:  http://publications.iowa.gov/view/subjects/VJ.html

    Science Fiction

    The Emperor is dead. His final weapon has been destroyed. The Imperial Army is in disarray. In the aftermath, Yrica Quell is just one of thousands of defectors from her former cause living in a deserters' shantytown. Then she is selected to join Alphabet Squadron, cobbled together from an eclectic assortment of pilots and starfighters. The five members of Alphabet, each a talented pilot, have one mission: to track down and destroy the mysterious Shadow Wing, a lethal force of TIE fighters exacting bloody, reckless vengeance in the twilight of their reign. -- adapted from jacket

    I read "Master and Apprentice" a couple months ago and was very impressed by it. So, I made it a point to check out more new Star Wars books. "Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron" was EXCELLENT. It reminded me of the Rogue Squadron books that I read in middle school (in a good way). It married one of my favorite parts of Star Wars--space ship battles--with spot-on character work. -Brian
