Welcome to our newest addition, the Video Library. We've added these pages to help you in your research. While reference books are wonderful tools, sometimes we just need visuals to help us envision eras gone by.
Below is the beginning of a list of videos that will help you research your novels. Most are available for rent through your local video store. These are also available for purchase through Amazon.com by clicking on the links below. More will be added throughout the year.
