elcome to newsbytes, an online newsletter featuring the books and authors of the University of North Carolina Press. As a prelude to Halloween, learn more about North Carolina's graveyards, courtesy of UNC Press author Ruth Little. With her help, you can take a virtual tour of the typical North Carolina graveyard and learn how gravemarkers can help you discover more about your region's history and culture. For more information about Little and her interest in North Carolina's gravemarkers, read a press release about her book, Sticks & Stones: Three Centuries of North Carolina Gravemarkers.

In this issue, you'll also get a sneak preview of our highly anticipated new cookbook, Mama Dip's Kitchen (October 1999), by Mildred "Mama Dip" Council. Mama Dip is a local restauranteur and celebrity in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and her cookbook showcases the same down-home, wholesome, everyday Southern cooking for which its namesake restaurant is celebrated. Be the first to read an excerpt from the introduction of Mama Dip's Kitchen.

Meet UNC Press author Michael Kammen and learn more about his new book on artist Robert Gwathmey, the Social Realist best known for his dignified portrayal of African Americans.

Finally, it's time to head for the hills! Fall is a beautiful season in the North Carolina Mountains. Check out our list of books about Western North Carolina to help you gear up for fall in the mountains!
