Quickly learning that academic papers with “Bread” in the title are often not about bread at all.

Title: “Bread and Butter”   - This one might be interesting. 

Subjects: LETTERS to the editor; FASCISM; HISTORY; ANTISEMITISM; EUROPE

I've never been much of a US history buff.

But looking at publication dates for these books I've never heard of and using these databases to find mentions of these books is making a believer out of me.

These databases are real sexy. I mean, I just pulled up a page from the Boston Chronicle from 1768 and it says Volume 1, Issue 26 and I'm just like 'oh hot damn yessss'

Go check out the Evans Digital Edition and America's Historical Newspapers.

But keep a fan on hand.
