Take an illustrated tour of America’s stylish and historic mid-century restaurants in this volume of color photographs and vintage ephemera. Over the years, the softly lit wood-paneled interiors, starched tablecloths, curved booths, tuxedoed captains, and tableside service that once defined continental-style fine dining have given way to more contemporary trends. Yet in American cities large and small, a few historic restaurants have maintained their classic character and old-school ambiance. With vivid new color photography and fascinating vintage ephemera, Classic Dining celebrates the great mid-century restaurants that continue to thrive in New York, the greater Miami area, New Orleans, Las Vegas, the Chicago area, Los Angeles, and across the United States. This volume also includes a directory of mid-century restaurants across America.

"That damn war," my mother wailed between sobs. My brother, Steve, died on the streets of Fargo, North Dakota nearly 30 years to the day he enlisted into the Army and went to Vietnam. He left us only with questions about our failure to help him and why our mother was never notified of his death. Steve's story mirrors those of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. No Immediate Threat doesn't just tell the story of one American veteran, it tells the story of many. "Ms. Campbell tells it like it is and offers many good insights, and cures into the problems not only faced by Vietnam vets, but also our returning veterans from the Gulf War and Iraq. Will their story be different?" -Rick Baker, Vietnam veteran, 1968-70 "No Immediate Threat is more than a stirring and sensitive tribute to a Vietnam veteran brother whose untimely death shocked family and friends. This book also raises searching questions about how we treat our current returning veterans and their families, what services are actually available to them, and what we can do to make sure our government responds to their needs." -Maril Crabtree, author of the Sacred series, www.sacredfeathers.com
