James Robbins
Julie Rubini
The Real Custer: From Boy
General to Tragic Hero takes a
good hard look at the life and storied
military career of native Ohioan George
Armstrong Custer—from cutting his
teeth at Bull Run in the Civil War, to
his famous and untimely death at Little
Bighorn. Robbins demonstrates that,
although graduating last in his class at
West Point, Custer proved himself an
extremely skilled cavalry leader, yet his undoing was due to the
same bold and cocky attitude that had made him a hero. Last
in Their Class: Custer, Pickett, and the Goats of West Point
provides a fascinating look at West Point under-achievers who
found both successful and notorious careers outside the academy.
Robbins received his PhD from the Fletcher School of Law

The Big Book of Ohio Ghost Stories. [Table 35]
Cleary Wolters
Cleary Wolters, of Cincinnati, is the
real-life inspiration for the character Alex
Vause in the hit TV show Orange Is the
New Black. Cleary did watch the show
(along with the rest of the universe),
although what was fun for everyone else
was a weirdly personal and unnerving
interpretation of events that had shaped
her own life. Now speaking out for the
first time, Cleary shares her part of the
story including how she introduced Piper to the criminal activities
that would ultimately send both of them to prison. In Out of
Orange: A Memoir, Cleary honestly recounts an emotional
tale of the bold decisions and epic mistakes she made and her
struggle to keep them from defining the rest of her life. [Table 1]

Doyle Yoder
What better way to present Ohio’s Amish
Country than in a BIG calendar? Amish
Country Large Calendar 2016
opens to 18”x24”. The original Amish
Country Calendar 2016 featuring
scenic photos from the heart of Amish
Country has inspired two new similarlyformatted calendars: Themes of
Amish Country Calendar 2016:
Clothesline Edition containing
photos of the specific theme and America’s Amish Country
Calendar 2016 featuring photos from Amish communities across
the US. Doyle’s 1,000 piece puzzles are fun for the whole family.
The Apples of Mom’s Eye Puzzle features a beautiful homestead
and the Percheron Power Puzzle shows a twelve-horse team of
Percheron draft horses pulling a plow. Trail Bottom Autumn
Puzzle has a photo of breathtaking fall scenery while the Working
on the Farm Puzzle shows a lovely winter scene. [Table 10]
Gary Zuercher
Over a period of five years, Gary took
his cameras out into the Parisian night to
capture evocative images of the bridges
that span the River Seine. The Glow
of Paris: The Bridges of Paris
at Night is a lavish hardcover coffee
table book presenting photographs
and histories of the 35 bridges that
cross the Seine in Paris. No one else
has photographed all the bridges in
this way. At night, we don’t see crowds of people or heavy traffic
and nothing obscures the beauty and strength of the structures.
Gary’s black and white photographs are rich with detail, revealing
architectural elements, nearby buildings, trees on the riverbanks,
and starry lamps casting paths of light across the water. A native
of Wooster, Ohio, Zuercher and his French wife Dominique
divide their time between the US and Paris. His book is also
available in French, Paris s’illumine. [Table 27]

Buckeye Book Fair
Supports Literacy in Ohio
The Buckeye Book Fair promotes literacy by bringing
Ohio authors together with the reading public for an annual
book sale that raises money for libraries and literacy programs.
Created as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Buckeye
Authors’ Book Fair Committee Inc was incorporated in
1987. From providing seed money for programs designed
to foster and encourage a love of reading, to providing
funds for enhancing and updating book collections in
classrooms and libraries, the Buckeye Book Fair has
awarded $211,419.25 in 266 grants since its inception.
Literacy Grants Awarded
Six literacy grants totaling $3,000 are awarded to
Ohio schools and libraries at each Book Fair.
Last year’s grants were awarded at the November 1, 2014
Buckeye Book Fair. The recipients were:
• Academy of Arts and Sciences (Lorain) • $500
• Central Elementary School (Cambridge) • $500
• Andover Public Library (Andover) • $500
• Clark County Juvenile Detention Center (Springfield) • $500
• Marvin Memorial Library (Shelby) • $500
• Lorain Preparatory Academy’s Reading Enrichment
Students (Lorain) • $500
Apply for a Grant
Librarians and literacy program administrators may
inquire at the Book Fair Information Table to receive
a 2016 grant application. Grants of $500 in books are
awarded to enhance book collections; or gift certificates
totaling $500 are awarded to individuals of classrooms and
literacy programs for the promotion of reading.
Submit a Book
Ohio authors are welcome to submit a book to be
considered for possible inclusion in the Buckeye Book Fair.
Send a review copy of your book to the address provided
below, or check out our website www.BuckeyeBookFair.com/
pages/submissions for complete submission guidelines and
more information.
New! Book Hold
One of our volunteers will be stationed at a table next
to the checkout area where books can be held while you
shop or wait in line. We hope you find this an added
convenience.
Visit Downtown Wooster
Visit downtown Wooster by heading north on Madison
Avenue (right turn out of Fisher) to Liberty Street,
Wooster’s main road. You’ll find restaurants, two bookstores
(new & used), antique shops, and much more!
Visitors Guides are available at the Information Table.
Thank you to Our volunteers
Members of the Book Fair’s steering committee meet
monthly throughout the year to discuss new books and
authors.
Members of the 2015 Buckeye Book Fair Steering
Committee are Daniel Bourne, Russell Cross, Alice
Finley, Jarrod Hartzler, Reg Kramer, Barb Landers, Cindy
Lombardo, Randy Snure, David Wiesenberg, Karin Wiest,
and Betty Wilkin.
The Buckeye Book Fair manager is Julia Wiesenberg.
Why Is There an Admission Charge?
The Buckeye Book Fair has certain fixed expenses that
must be met each year. Your $2 admission helps offset
these costs so that more funds can be made available for the
Buckeye Book Fair’s grants for literacy program.
No Strollers or Home Books
In order to keep aisleways clear, we ask you not to bring
baby strollers into the Book Fair.
Patrons will NOT be permitted to enter the Book
Fair with books brought from home to be signed. Your
purchases make the Book Fair possible and support Ohio’s
authors and illustrators.
We thank you for your support.
