Hello,
I started this website to showcase Alaska books because I love Alaska books.
Alaska has a rich literary tradition. There are thousands of books about Alaska and by Alaskan authors. The Alaska genre of books is also called “Alaskana” books which was the name of a wonderful (but now closed) Alaska bookstore.
This website categories Alaska books into about a dozen sub genres. It has lists, reviews, and blog posts and (hopefully soon) author interviews.
I have been reading and collecting Alaska books for many years. I buy most of my books at local bookstores and thrift stores. I also buy them at larger stores such as Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Fred Meyer and online. I have met many Alaskan authors over the years at book signings and through the community.
My favorite Alaska genres are: Adventure and Homesteading; Memoirs; and Cookbooks.
