520    "In this volume, Chris Loker, the proprietor of the 
       Children's Book Gallery, an antiquarian children's 
       bookshop in San Francisco, profiles and reflects on the 
       legacies of iconic American children's books, spanning 
       from 1900 to the present day (with the last title being 
       published in 2015). Being co-published with the Book Club 
       of California as well as Godine, this book was inspired by
       an exhibition with the Grolier Club in 2015 that profiled 
       "One Hundred Books Famous in Children's Literature""--
