Book excerpt: During the Gilded Age of the late 1880s to the 1910s - the era of Carnegie, Rockefeller and Vanderbilt - American millionaires demonstrated their prosperity through their elaborate homes. Maymont was the 100-acre country estate of Richmond-born financier James Henry Dooley and his wife Sallie May Dooley. Their opulent residence was completed in 1893. The Dooleys spent three decades filling its sumptuous interiors with treasures from around the world and establishing Maymont's magnificent gardens, landscape and architectural complex. The Dooleys bequeathed Maymont - completely intact - to the City of Richmond to be used as a public park and museum. Today it is an unusually complete example of a Gilded Age estate. This lavishly illustrated and elegantly designed volume welcomes the reader into this spectacular estate, appealing to visitors as well as all those fascinated in the history and grandeur of the Gilded Age in America. AUTHOR: Dale Wheary is the Curator/Director of Historical Collections and Programs at Maymont. SELLING POINTS: * Only book available on the Maymont Estate, which receives more than 500,000 visitors a year * Of interest to all those fascinated with Gilded Age architecture and interior furnishings 80 colour

Book excerpt: *Gold Medal winner in the 2014 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Home & Garden* "Just flipping through the pages of Quiet Beauty: The Japanese Gardens of North America will instantly lower your blood pressure."--The New York Times Book Review Quiet Beauty: Japanese Gardens of North America is an extraordinary look at the most beautiful and serene gardens of the United States and Canada. Most Japanese garden books look to the gardens of Japan. Quiet Beauty explores the treasure trove of Japanese gardens located in North America.

In the aftermath of the Civil War, Richmond entered the Gilded Age seeking bright prospects while struggling with its own past. It was an era marked by great technological change and ideological strife. During a labor convention in conservative Richmond, white supremacists prepared to enforce segregation at gunpoint. Progressives attempted to gain political power by unveiling a wondrous new marvel: Richmond's first electric streetcar. And handsome lawyer Thomas J. Cluverius was accused of murdering a pregnant woman and dumping her body in the city reservoir, sparking Richmond's trial of the century.
