So far, fiction titles make up the majority of our e-book titles.  But there are a few arts-related books becoming available.  Many deal with pop culture, such as biographies and memoirs of musicians such as Pat Benatar, Jay-Z, Ice-T, and Amy Winehouse, and books about popular television shows Glee and American Idol. 

Erik Larson's gripping The Devil in the White City is also available; somehow he manages to weave together the story of the architecture of the Chicago World's Fair and a serial killer into a fascinating tale. And a more recent title is Robert K. Wittman's Priceless:  How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures, recounting adventures of the FBI's Art Crime Team.
