Three Copies, Two Letters: the Library of Congress filings many self-published authors skip. Publishing a book in the United States means three copies go to the Library of Congress, across two separate filings. Two copies are the copyright deposit, required by law (17 U.S.C. 407). One is the complimentary copy the LCCN program asks for after publication. A lot of self-published authors skip one or both. I did all of this for Calling Out the Shadows, then wrote up the full walkthrough so other authors can follow it, the steps and the statutes behind each one.

Happy 4th of July

Uniforms are one of the ways I show my students that men have cared about clothing. And as women got recruited into the armed forces, giving them natty outfits was one of the ways of coaxing them to choose one branch of the services over another. This poster from the Library of Congress dates to 1943. The model’s dark uniform and hat and the serious expression on her carefully made up face balance between the sober nature of her work and the persistence of femininity that was valued at the same time. Women remained in skirt suits unless the nature their work required pants. Of course, WWII engaged an enormous number of men and American women were needed for all kinds of support services, and each branch created an auxiliary force.
