It shouldn't surprise anyone that York County's architecture is as varied as the people who have made up its population over the years.
After all, York Town, as the city was known in 1741, predates this country's Declaration of Independence in 1776 by almost 35 years.
And yet, the 160 pages that fill Scott Butcher's new book, "York's Historical Architecture," are exactly that -- a surprise.
York County resident Brian Keene will sign copies of his new four-issue "Devil Slayer" comic from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 6 at Comix Connection-York at the West Manchester Mall.

The book: “Lines of Contention: Political Cartoons of the Civil War” (HarperCollins under the Smithsonian imprint, $19.95)
The authors: Pam Huff and Jim Lewin of Hellam Township are the owners of the York Emporium used-book store, 343 W. Market St., York. Huff is a native of Washington, D.C., and Lewin is a native of the Buffalo, N.Y., area. They moved to York in January 2006.
Finish reading 'Local authors: Cartoons from the Civil War' »While growing up in wartime Germany, Sieglinde Schoen-Smith found comfort in the words and watercolors in a German folk tale, “Mother Earth and Her Children.” Many years later, when she lost her son, Schoen-Smith again turned for comfort to the children’s story and used it as the inspiration for a quilt. The quilt won the top prize at the International Quilt Market.
Today, that quilt serves as the illustration for a new translation of “Mother Earth and Her Children” by Jack Zipes of the University of Minnesota.
“Mother Earth and Her Children” was written for ages 3 to 8.
