Twentieth century
The town's strongest authorial record is a pair of statistics texts by two men born here. Virgil L. Anderson (born North Liberty, 7 April 1920; Purdue professor of statistics, 1951–1986) wrote, with Robert A. McLean, Design of Experiments: A Realistic Approach (1974), a standard text in its field (famous-people leg). Richard Loree Anderson (born North Liberty, 16 November 1917; University of Kentucky) is carried in his papers' record as an author of standard texts in experimental design; the full bibliography of either man — titles, editions, dates — was not pulled whole and stands as a named gap, its settlers the Library of Congress and WorldCat author records. The tie of both men is birth here, printed at birth strength: their writing lives belong to Purdue and Kentucky, and this section claims the books for the town's shelf on the birth tie alone, openly.
