Literary
Slopers
Several books have been published in the past few years by various Slopers.
Thursday's Child by Natalie Sloper Bennion was published in the United Kingdom by Janus Publishing Company Limited, in Nov 2006. Amazon.com U. K. describes the book as: "This collection of poems by Natalie Sloper-Bennion is like a breath of fresh air. In a world where it is easy to become bogged down in the complexities of everyday life, these poems provide a refreshingly simple and clear vision, cutting through the clichés and dishonesty that threaten to cloud our judgment."
Arcadia Publishing released Los Angeles's Chester Place, written by your WEB editor, Don Sloper. The book is available from a variety of bookstores and other sources, plus on-line WEB sites, such as Amazon.com. The book is a result of Don Sloper's research to establish public tours of the nine 100 year old mansions that line Chester Place in Los Angeles, and includes pictures of many of the rich and famous of Los Angeles who occupied the exclusive enclave during the early years of the 20th century, plus some of their silent screen star neighbors. Obviously, there are no Slopers in the book's contents, alas, not even among the servants, but it's an interesting read for individuals interested in American history and the growth of the petroleum industry.
