Book Description
Now available in paperback—with a new preface and interview with Jessica Livingston about Y Combinator! Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done. But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businesses do—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.

Book Description
This book began as a letter to her daughter in answer to some specific questions about the old days. The author was encouraged to expand the letter into this delightful memoir that not only will engage her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, when they are old enough to enjoy it, but is universal enough in scope to inspire anyone who has ever had to meet some difficult challenges. Not many of us will ever have to buy our own cow to feed four youngsters under the age of five or grow and can our own food to keep from going hungry, or wait ten years for our husband to finally land a real job. During the Great Depression the author had to subsist on her wits and creativity. Like the time in 1939 when her over-generous husband invited a traveling wayfarer with an expensive camera and a German accent to share the old Virginia farmhouse which, unbeknownst to the author, was near a secret government facility She finally figured out he was a German spy.

Book Description
Volume 1 of Samuel Bamford's autobiography. Samuel Bamford (28 February 1788 - 13 April 1872, was an English radical and writer, who was born in Middleton, Lancashire. In August 1819, Bamford led a group from Middleton to St Peter's Fields, to attend a meeting pressing for parliamentary reform, where they witnessed the Peterloo Massacre. Bamford was arrested and charged with treason. Although the evidence showed that he had not been involved in the violence, he was nevertheless found guilty of inciting a riot and sentenced to a year in Lincoln gaol. The experience of the massacre made a deep impression on Bamford, and convinced him that the state's power would always succeed against radical militancy. He came to be seen as a voice for radical reform, but opposed to any activism that involved physical force. Bamford was the author of poetry (mostly in standard English)but of those in dialect several showing sympathy with the conditions of the working class became widely popular.

Book Description
The author arrived in California in the winter of 1843 and stayed there for forty years. Having read at various times the history of California, and especially that of the City of San Francisco, and knowing the same or portions of the same to be misrepresented, he conceived the idea of giving a true history of the city, as well as he could recollect it. The book, however, can hardly be called a history, but rather a book of reminiscences and incidents of early days.
