New Height Books

There’s no denying it. Over the past few months things have gotten rather stagnant here at NHB. A new job has kept me very busy, but a stasis has been reached and that same job has now made me capable of introducing some big improvements to NHB. For the most part the design and functionality of the site will remain the same. Rather I’m going to kick up the backend to make it easier to manage both for myself and any future co-conspirators, as well as introducing a means for fledging writers of Romantic Realism (and Rational Nonfiction!) to get their feet wet. More on that as it develops.

In the meantime, I have created Book Search, a simple search tool for compiling results from many major book sellers online. It returns 10 results by relevance from each site and automatically sorts all results by price. Note that this tool is useful for finding rare, out of print books, but is pretty useless for searching books that are widely available. All currencies are automatically converted to USD for ease of use. Give it a shot and tell me what you think. Upon improvement I would like to integrate this service into NHB.

I’d like to thank new user DarkWaters for his astounding addition of 27 books to the NHB catalog, all of which are nonfiction and most of which center on history and government (throughout the world). DarkWaters, or Doug as I know him, is a grad student here in Atlanta and runs the Georgia Tech Objectivist Club.

I’d also like to thank Gabbjectivist for his continuous and consistently excellent submissions, most recently the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller.

There are currently five copies of differing quality of Virtues In Verse available for sale at Amazon.com, one of then marked as “new.” Considered that most copies of this out-of-print book go for $60 or more, this is a good opportunity to own yours at well below market cost.
