es Anderson’s eighth feature film—a meticulously crafted, visually resplendent matryoshka-doll caper set primarily in an

alternate-history version of 1930s Europe—The Grand Budapest Hotel is the fullest expression to date of Anderson’s varied thematic and stylistic idiosyncrasies and influences. This supplemental one-volume companion to

The Wes Anderson Collection (Abrams 2013) is the only book to take readers behind the scenes of The Grand Budapest Hotel, with in-depth interviews between Anderson and cultural critic and New York Times bestselling author Matt Zoller Seitz. Anderson shares the story behind the film’s conception, the wide variety of sources that inspired it—from author Stefan Zweig to filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch to Photochrom landscapes from turn-of-the-century Middle Europe—personal anecdotes about the making of the film, and other reflections on his filmmaking process. These interviews are accompanied by behind-the-scenes photos, ephemera, and artwork, as well as exclusive critical essays by Ali Arikan, Steven Boone, David Bordwell, Olivia Collette, and Chris Laverty, and interviews with costume designer Milena Canonero, composer Alexandre Desplat, lead actor Ralph Fiennes, production designer Adam Stockhausen, and cinematographer Robert Yeoman.

Matt Zoller Seitz, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for criticism, currently writes for New York magazine, serves as editor in chief of RogerEbert.com, and is the author of The Wes Anderson Collection.

S E LLING POINTS ■■ The Grand Budapest Hotel Collection capitalises on the runaway success of both the film and the New York Times bestselling The Wes Anderson Collection ■■ Includes previously unpublished behind-the-scenes materials and ephemera from the film ■■ Seitz continues to build an online and print following as TV critic for New York magazine and editor in chief of RogerEbert.com

P

iet Mondrian’s rigorously geometric paintings in primary colours are icons of the 20th century that

had a powerful impact on popular taste in art and design.

This volume brings together more than 230 superb paintings with documentary images from the artist’s life. The less-well-known work that Mondrian did in the 30 years before his breakthrough to abstraction—especially his landscape and flower paintings—is remarkably beautiful, and to see it arranged chronologically is to enter the mind of an artist who is constantly looking for the next step that will take him from traditional realism to a universal vision of colour and form. The book includes rare photographs of Mondrian’s studios in Paris and New York City as well as reproductions of more than 1,000 known works of Mondrian’s in black and white.

Cees W. de Jong is a Dutch designer, publisher, and curator; Robert P. Welsh was co-author of the Mondrian catalogue raisonné; Katjuscha Otte, Ingelies Vermeulen, and Marjory Degen are Dutch art historians; Marty Bax studies the relationship between art and Western Exoticism.

t’s hard to meet people in a big city, let alone any city.

And after living in LA for several years as a single

lady, Audrey Shulman turned to baking. But rather

than eating her cakes solo over the sink, she brought them to bars, enticing guys with a heady dose of butter and sugar.

Sitting in Bars with Cakes recounts Audrey’s year spent baking, bar-hopping, and offering slices of cake to men in the hope of finding her soul mate (or, at the very least, a date). With 35 inventive recipes based on her interactions with guys from all walks of life, from a Sticky Maple Kiss Cake to a Bitter Chocolate Dump Cake, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars.

And while Audrey didn’t meet her soul mate, her collection of stories will serve as inspiration for anyone who has ever put themselves out there in hope of finding true love.

Audrey Shulman is the writer of Sitting in Bars with Cake, a blog she started with the intent to seduce men with baked goods.

he has written 25,000 words that illuminate the crimes and law enforcement of the era. Ellroy offers context and layers on wild and rich atmosphere—this is the cauldron that was police work in the city of the tarnished angels more than six decades ago. More than 80 duotone photos are spread throughout the book in the manner of hard-edged police evidence.

James Ellroy is the award-winning author of 18 books, including The Black Dahlia, L.A. Confidential, White Jazz, American Tabloid, and The Cold Six Thousand. Ellroy’s latest novel, Perfidia, was published by Alfred A. Knopf in September 2014. Housed in the oldest surviving LAPD station, the Los Angeles Police Museum chronicles the formation and development of the LAPD from its beginnings in 1869. Glynn Martin has been in and around the LAPD for more than 30 years and has served as the museum’s executive director for more than a decade.

Araminta Ross was born a slave in Delaware in the early 19th century. Slavery meant that her family could be ripped apart at any time, and that she could be put to work in dangerous places and for abusive people. But north of the Mason-Dixon line, slavery was illegal. If she could run away and make it north without being caught or killed, she’d be free. Facing enormous danger, Araminta made it, and once free, she changed her name to Harriet Tubman. Tubman spent the rest of her life helping slaves run away like she did, every time taking her life in her hands. Nathan Hale tells her incredible true-life story with the

When film-loving twins Joules and Kevin Rockman left their summer camp, they thought their days of fighting evil bunnies from outer space were over. Surely there won’t be giant rabbits bent on world domination at their school, right? Wrong. Luckily, these bunnies aren’t FLUFFS (Fierce, Large, Ugly, and Ferocious Furballs)—sugar-addicted giant rabbits out to hypnotise and kill. Unluckily, they’re worse: the FOOFS (Fierce, Obnoxious, Odoriferous Furballs)—seemingly normal-size rabbits (with extra-large noses) out to take over the world! Can Joules and Kevin save themselves, and their school, from the Schnoz of Doom?

Seriously funny New York Times bestselling author Andrea Beaty raises the stakes in this sequel to her zany, pulpy sci-fi farce. And, not to use Famous Last Words, but with illustrations by the great Dan Santat (The Guild of Geniuses, Sidekicks), what could possibly go wrong?

Dr. Critchlore’s School for Minions is the premier supplier of minions to Evil Overlords throughout the Greater Porvian Continent. Twelve-year-old Runt Higgins has grown up as Dr. Critchlore’s ward, a werewolf who couldn’t keep up with the other pups. Now Runt’s determined to make it into the elite Junior Henchman Training Program so the pack who abandoned him will be so proud, they’ll take him back.

But that won’t happen if the school closes down, a fate that grows likelier as disasters keep striking with alarming regularity. Runt decides to find the saboteur himself, since nobody knows the school better than he does—and hasn’t he got the keen senses, strength, and speed that werewolves are known for? No, actually, because Runt isn’t a werewolf. And nobody at the school has the heart to tell him.

Runt might be just a puny human, but he’s the only person who can figure out who’s planning the sabotage and save the school—and Dr. Critchlore himself—from total destruction.

Sheila Grau is a writer living in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and four children. Dr. Critchlore’s School for Minions is her first book.

In 1842, Christopher Robertson’s family lives a difficult life as ‘crofters,’ farmers and fishermen so in debt to the landowner that they have no hope of ever breaking free. To make matters worse, Christopher also lives under the thumb of his morally questionable father and devious brother. When his brother frames him for the theft of their father’s secret bag of coins, Christopher must leave his home and embark on a journey across the island to return the coins and clear his name. It’s a journey that takes twists and turns, including stops in prison, on a smuggler’s ship, and at the house of a beautiful girl—and it ends with him escaping to a new life in America, which has dangers of its own.

Years ago, Emilie Christie Burack discovered a set of brittle cassette tapes in a shoe box at the back of her father’s closet on which her late grandfather had recorded his family’s history. When she learned her ancestor had come from the islands ‘where they had little ponies with long hair,’ she had to know more. She has travelled to the Shetland islands and spent the last four years researching its history and unique Norse-Scots culture. This is her first book.

Lyle Hertzog and his friends Marilla and Dave are the Qwikpick Adventure Society, three kids who seek out adventure in their seemingly quiet hometown of Crickenburg. On the hunt for their next big adventure—something to top the Fountain of Poop, if that’s even possible—the kids overhear a builder telling his buddies about a rat with a human face he saw in the basement of an old research facility.

The decision is unanimous: the next adventure for the Qwikpick Society is on! But when their trip to find the rat doesn’t go quite as expected, the trio gets in big trouble. Will the second adventure for the Qwikpick Society also be their last?

In Portland in 1983, girls are disappearing. Noah, a teen punk with a dark past, becomes obsessed with finding out where they’ve gone—and he’s convinced their disappearance has something to do with the creepy German owners of a local brewery, the PfefferBrau Haus. Noah worries about the missing girls as a way of avoiding the fact that something’s seriously wrong with his best friend, Evan.

Could it be the same dark force that’s pulling them all down?

When the PfefferBrau Haus opens its doors for a battle of the bands, Noah pulls his band, the Gallivanters, back together in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. But there’s a new addition to the band: an enigmatic David Bowie look-alike named Ziggy. And secrets other than where the bodies are buried will be revealed. From Edgar-nominated author M. J. Beaufrand, this is a story that gets to the heart of grief and loss while also being hilarious, fast paced, and heartbreaking.

M. J. Beaufrand is the author of The River, which was nominated for an Edgar Award, and Primavera. She has an MFA in creative writing from Bennington College.

A bunch of friendly vegetables wear colourful underwear of all varieties—big, small, clean, dirty, serious, and funny—demonstrating for young ones the silliness and necessity of this item of clothing.

The unexpectedness of vegetables in their unmentionables is enough to draw giggles, but the pride with which the ‘big kid’ attire is flaunted in front of the baby carrots in diapers will tickle readers of all ages. With rhyming text that begs to be chanted aloud and art that looks good enough to eat, this vibrant story will encourage little kids to celebrate having left those nappies behind!

Jared Chapman and his young brood prefer silly underwear to serious, and broccoli to celery.

9 781419 714887

author has written a clear, no-nonsense history of figs. But the publisher is sure she meant pigs. After all, what’s the difference between two measly letters? What results is a hilarious illustrated history of pigs, from the earliest times (‘Pigs were presented as ‘medals’ to the winners of the first Olympics’) to the present day (‘There is nothing better than enjoying a cup of tea or glass of milk with one of those famous Pig Newtons’). The author, needless to say, is not happy about this ‘little mix-up’ and makes her feelings very clearly known—by scrawling all over the book!

With sticky notes from the publisher, angry scribbles from the author, wrinkles, and pages askew, Under a Pig Tree is a playful peek into a book in ‘midproduction’ and a humorous look at the consequences of small mistakes, by industry pro Margie Palatini and up-and-coming talent Chuck Groenink.

Margie Palatini is the author of many outrageously funny books for children, including Piggie Pie!, illustrated by Howard Fine, and Moosetache, illustrated

by Henry Cole. Chuck Groenink is a Dutch artist who has illustrated several children’s books in Europe and the United States.

In 1924 the U.S. Army sent eight young men on a bold attempt to be the first to circumnavigate the globe by flight. Men from five other countries—Great Britain, France, Portugal, Italy, and Argentina—had the same goal. The race was on!

First Flight Around the World documents the exciting journey of four American planes—the Chicago, Boston, New Orleans, and Seattle—and their crews on a race around the world. The trip held many challenges: extreme weather, tricky navigation, unfamiliar cultures, fragile planes, and few airfields. The world fliers risked their lives for the sake of national pride.

Based in part on the journal of one of the crew members, First Lieutenant Leslie Arnold, along with commentary, newspaper reports, and archival images, First Flight Around the World is a captivating tale about ingenuity, gumption, and perseverance.
