Doom, Destiny, or Just Another Day? By Melissa Rossi • Introduction by Bruce Scofield

By James Jean

December 21st, 2012. Will it be the end of the world? A new dawn for human civilization? Or are the predictions and prophecies all based on a series of misinterpretations, coincidences, and elaborate hoaxes? In this illustrated and comprehensive look at the science, history, legends, and recent discoveries surrounding the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar, author Melissa Rossi unravels fact from fiction in an effort to determine what’s actually in store for humanity. Featuring an introduction by scholar Bruce Scofield, this is an invaluable handbook for anyone who has ever been fascinated by (or afraid of) the mystery of 2012.

Almost a decade into his astounding career, James Jean has emerged as one of contemporary art’s most important voices. From sell-out gallery shows in New York City and crowded signings at Comic-Con to kudos from the fashion world for his work for Prada, Jean’s richly detailed art has struck a chord with fans across the globe. Rift showcases a brand-new collection of art in an elegant accordion-book format. Inside, two haunting landscapes span the connected pages—folded in a variety of ways, the pages reveal myriad images hidden within the larger paintings.

Melissa Rossi has been published in a variety of magazines and is the author of the What Every American Should Know series. Bruce Scofield is a professor of astronomy at University of Massachusetts and an expert on the Maya.

James Jean’s commercial illustration career includes work for the New York Times, Atlantic Records, and Nike, as well as a series of award-winning covers for DC Comics and elaborate wallpaper installations and paintings for iconic fashion house Prada. Since 2007, Jean has focused his career on painting, book projects, and gallery exhibitions. He lives in Santa Monica, California.

Recipes include salads, puddings, soups, and other clever ways to use days-old bread. “ Mr. Robertson’s exceptional bread is notable because it’s a slow-fermented yeast bread in very French style that is a welcome change from the ubiquitous sourdough. . . .

Tartine Bread By Chad Robertson • Photographs by Eric Wolfinger

For the home or professional bread-maker, this is the book of the season. It comes from a man many consider to be the best bread baker in the United States: Chad Robertson, co-owner of Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, a city that knows its bread. To Chad, bread is the foundation of a meal, the center of daily life, and each loaf tells the story of the baker who shaped it. He developed his unique bread over two decades of apprenticeship with the finest artisan bakers in France and the United States, as well as experimentation in his own ovens. Readers will be astonished at how elemental it is. A hundred photographs from years of testing, teaching, and recipe development provide step-by-step inspiration, while additional recipes provide inspiration for using up every delicious morsel. Chad Robertson trained at the Culinary Institute of America and, with his wife Elisabeth Prueitt, won the James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef Award in 2008.

Eric Wolfinger is a photographer, surfer, and breadmaking apprentice at Tartine Bakery. Like Chad, he lives in San Francisco.

When Do They Serve the Wine?

The Book of Love

The Folly, Flexibility, and Fun of Being a Woman • By Liza Donnelly Introduction by Roz Chast

By K.C. Jones

What do women want? Eternal happiness and eternal youth would be nice. Failing that, what about a good laugh? Like I Feel Bad About My Neck come to life on the page, When Do They Serve the Wine? explores the evolution of women through their lives and crises (physical, emotional, sartorial): the awkward teen years; the crisis of becoming a quarter-lifer; the unmistakable realization that if you’re wearing a certain outfit in your forties, you might be a cougar. With her trademark wry, self-deprecating wit, and 140 eye-catching cartoons, the New Yorker ’s Liza Donnelly celebrates the fact that laugh lines do come with age—and so does wisdom.

This luxe little book is the perfect gift for anyone in love or looking for love. A miscellany of all things love, it covers everything from charms and aphrodisiacs to tips on how to stay in love forever. Readers can look up their astrological love match and learn to use terms of endearment in different languages, like “mon petit chou”—French for “my little cabbage.” Also featured are recipes, potions, poems, quotes, famous couples, and romantic date and gift ideas. With a gorgeous textured cover, silkscreen edges, and a ribbon marker, The Book of Love is a sweet keepsake package for lovers everywhere. K.C. Jones is a San Francisco–based writer.

Liza Donnelly is a staff cartoonist for the New Yorker and has authored several books. She lives in New York. Roz Chast is a cartoonist for the New Yorker. She lives in Connecticut.

All My Friends Are Dead

Cats Are Weird

By Avery Monsen and Jory John

And More Observations • By Jeffrey Brown

If you’re a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you’re a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you’re a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-outloud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children’s book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character’s unique grievance and wideeyed predicament. From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable.

Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown’s drawings perfectly capture the humor and quirkiness of cats in all their strange and charming glory. Following the success of Cat Getting Out of a Bag, this all-new collection of color and black-and-white comic strips loosely follows the adventures of a pair of cats as they explore the world around them, indoors and out. Adventures include taking a nap, licking a shoe, attacking dust particles, hiding in cabinets, pouncing on fallen leaves, confronting the vacuum cleaner, patrolling the yard, and purring up a storm—all adorably rendered in Brown’s immediate and irresistible style. Sure to delight anyone who lives with cats and appreciates their sweet and batty behavior, this beautifully packaged gift book is the cat’s meow.

Avery Monsen is an actor, artist, and writer. Jory John is a writer, editor, and journalist. They are friends, and are also the authors of Pirate’s Log.

Jeffrey Brown has written and illustrated numerous graphic novels and comics. His work has been featured in McSweeney’s and on NPR’s This American Life. He lives in Chicago.

Did You Know? Darth Vader’s bone-crushing choking of Captain Antilles is actually the sound of walnuts being squished inside a grapefruit rind? The rumbling of the Star Destroyer is the rattling of a broken air conditioner in a motel room in New Mexico? The roars of the rancor are the growls of Max, one “insanely aggressive” dachshund?

The Sounds of Star Wars® By J. W. Rinzler • Foreword by Ben Burtt

Any Star Wars fan can mimic Darth Vader’s voice or Chewbacca’s roar with ease. But how many of them would be able to identify the lion’s roar used in the sound of the Millenium Falcon’s engine? In this aurally astonishing and visually engaging book, New York Times best-selling author J. W. Rinzler reveals the illuminating history of the sounds that make the Star Wars universe so believable, as recounted by their creator, legendary sound designer Ben Burtt.

From the first films to the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, The Sounds of Star Wars is Star Wars as you’ve never heard it before. J. W.

Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower

By Diana Vreeland with Christopher Hemphill • Foreword by Marc Jacobs

By Henri Rivière • Prologue by Arsène Alexandre Afterword by James A. Ganz and Karin Breuer

Legendary fashion maven Diana Vreeland—at the urging of her editor Jackie O—authored a classic volume in the 1980s on the quality of “allure” in fashion and in life. Now back in print, this new edition features a foreword from the incomparable fashion designer Marc Jacobs. Throughout Allure, Vreeland lends her famous knack for turning a phrase to an astonishing array of fashion, celebrity, and fine art photographs. Featuring images of such luminaries as Maria Callas, Gertrude Stein, and Marilyn Monroe—shot by superstar photographers such as Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, and Richard Avedon—Allure is poised to deliver Vreeland’s unparalleled point of view to a whole new generation.

Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower is an eminently giftable tribute to the greatest sight in the City of Light. A gorgeous re-creation of Henri Rivière’s original 1902 volume offers a stunning view of turn-of-the-century Paris. Sometimes looming in the foreground, sometimes a tiny detail on the horizon, the tower is always present: piercing the sky above a teeming street scene; populated with daring construction workers far above the earth; and peacefully distant above a tranquil Seine. Published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, this enchanting collection is sure to be cherished by Francophiles the world over.

Fashion legend Diana Vreeland was editor-in-chief of Vogue throughout the 1960s. Christopher Hemphill is a New York–based writer. Marc Jacobs is a highly influential fashion designer.

Henri Rivière (1864 –1951) was a French artist and printmaker. Arsène Alexandre was a fin de siècle French art critic. James A. Ganz and Karin Breuer are curators at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

“ For a man, cooking a big meal is like laying a patio or chainsawing up an oak. You’re proud of it. It takes all Sunday afternoon, and when you’re finished, the presence of the meal is as deeply satisfying as the absence of the tree.” —Esquire

Eat Like a Man The Only Cookbook a Man Will Ever Need • Edited by Ryan D’Agostino

So long, dude food. Most men who love food have a roasting pan and a decent spice rack, but they’re still looking for that one book that has all the real food they love to eat and wish they could cook. Esquire food editor Ryan D’Agostino is here to change that with his unapologetically malecentric Eat Like a Man—a choice collection of 75 recipes and food writing for men who like to eat, cook, and read about great food.

Satisfying, sexy, definitive, and doable, these are recipes for slow Sunday mornings with family, end-of-the-week wind-down dinners with a lady, Saturday night show-off entertaining, poker night feeds, and game-day couch camping. Or, for when a man is just hungry. Ryan D’Agostino is articles and food editor at Esquire, where he edits the magazine’s “Eat Like a Man” column. He cooks and eats like a man in his tiny New York City kitchen.

Apples I Have Eaten

By Cameron Woo

By Jonathan Gerken

This one-of-a-kind collection celebrates the age-old bond between dogs and their people. Featuring happy and clearly beloved pets in more than 100 portraits taken in photobooths over the last 80 years, these images are a testament to the devotion people have felt—and will always feel—for their dogs.

Of the thousands of known apple varieties, only about twenty can be found in grocery stores. Apples I Have Eaten is a tribute to a bushel of the harder-to-find heirloom apple cultivars—including the Goldrush, Burgundy, Prairie Spy, Hidden Rose, and other nostalgic varieties whose very names hearken back to a simpler time. Each apple was locally sourced, lovingly photographed, and then happily eaten by artist and author Jonathan Gerken. Irresistibly charming and delightfully delectable, this volume is a pictorial feast for everyone from locavores and foodies to art aficionados. The ideal gift for cooks, teachers, and anyone who appreciates the little things in life!

Cameron Woo is the co-founder and publisher of The Bark magazine and has been hailed by sfgate.com as the “voice of dog culture.” He is also the co-editor of the critically acclaimed Dog Is My Co-Pilot: Great Writers on the World’s Oldest Friendship. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

A heart-moving parable for our time—from one of the graphic masters of our generation.

The Present By Bob Gill

The carefully wrapped present was perched half-hidden on his parents’ closet shelf. Arthur, a little boy with a very large imagination, feverishly tried to guess what it might contain. A pet? A shiny trumpet? A new computer? The possibilities were almost endless. All for him and him alone—until the doorbell interrupted his reverie. What happened next is a remarkable and soul-satisfying reminder that the act of sharing is perhaps the greatest present of all. A simple and timeless tale of spontaneous generosity, told with understated humor, a great warmth, and a brilliantly direct graphic style which go to the very heart of the human experience. With the gentle insight of A Cup of Christmas Tea and the resonant innocence of The Giving Tree, Bob Gill’s book is destined to become a best-loved gift about gift-giving. Brooklyn-born Bob Gill’s work as an artist and graphic designer has spanned continents; his genius has been stamped on a wide range of creative endeavors, from

children’s books and award-winning international ad campaigns to Beatlemania. He lives in New York City.

Let’s Bring Back An Encyclopedia of Forgotten-Yet-Delightful, Chic, Useful, Curious, and Otherwise Commendable Things from Times Gone By By Lesley M. M. Blume • Illustrations by Grady McFerrin

The Huffington Post ’s “Let’s Bring Back...” columnist, Lesley M. M. Blume, invites you to consider whatever happened to cuckoo clocks? Or bed curtains? Why do we have so many “friends” but have done away with the much more useful word “acquaintance”? All of these things, plus hot toddies, riddles, proverbs, corsets, calling cards, and many more, are due for a revival. Throughout this whimsical, beautifully illustrated encyclopedia of nostalgia, Blume breathes new life into the elegant, mysterious, and delightful trappings of bygone eras, honoring the timeless tradition of artful living along the way. Inspired by her much loved column of the same name and featuring entries from famous icons of style and culture, Let’s Bring Back leads readers to rediscover the things that entertained, awed, beautified, satiated, and fascinated in eras past. Lesley M. M. Blume has written for a number of publications, from Slate to Vogue, and is the contributing Style section editor at the Huffington Post. She is also the author of

several critically acclaimed children’s books. She lives in New York City.

An Insider’s Guide to the Wines and Wine Country of Argentina By Laura Catena • Photographs by Sara Remington • Foreword by Jay Miller

A Musical Odyssey in Umbria • By Lin Arison and Diana C. Stoll Introduction by Michael Tilson Thomas • Photographs by Neil Folberg

In this book—part wine primer, part cultural exploration, part introduction to the Argentine lifestyle—discover where to eat, what to see, and how to travel like a local with Laura Catena, the Argentina-born, United States–educated, globetrotting wine star. The world’s fifth largest producer of wine, Argentina is home to malbec, the country’s best-known indigenous grape. More than 400,000 Americans and 600,000 Europeans visit Argentina every year to enjoy the mighty malbec, taste unparalleled food, trek the wide-open country, and tango all night long in Buenos Aires. Vino Argentino provides insider access to beautiful Argentina.

Lin Arison invites readers on a journey through Umbria, in the company of Michael Tilson Thomas and the New World Symphony orchestra. Part memoir, part travelogue, this lushly illustrated volume features the sites, foods, crafts, and festivals that give Umbria its unique character. Included are three DVDs: the celebrated MTT on Music; a short documentary on the musicians in Umbria; and a filmed conversation between Thomas and architect Frank Gehry, designer of the orchestra’s new Miami campus, opening in 2011.

Laura Catena belongs to the fourth generation of an Argentine-Italian winemaking family and serves as president of Botega Catena Zapata. She splits her time between San Francisco and Mendoza. Sara Remington is a San Francisco–based photographer.

Lin Arison is a writer, a producer, and a founder of the New World Symphony. Diana C. Stoll is a writer who has spent extended periods in Umbria.

Werewolves An Illustrated Journal of Transformation

Co-stars of the Twilight saga and center-stage in a spate of new movies and TV series, werewolves are poised to eclipse vampires as pop culture’s IT creature. Werewolves takes the form of an illustrated journal that plunges readers into the life of a high school girl-turned-werewolf as she makes her transformation. After Alice and her brother are bitten by what they assume are large dogs, her journal/sketchbook becomes a place for her to record the changes they start to experience—her socially awkward brother falls in with some creepy new friends, and she surprises herself with new strengths and instincts and a suddenly nonvegetarian interest in raw steak. Joining the werewolf pack that bit them, they discover the pleasures and dangers that come with the cycles of the moon, including threats from “hunters” who stalk them, a researcher seeking a cure, and escalating violence within the pack itself. With a fresh take on the lore and legend, Werewolves gives fans a ripping tale to sink their teeth into.

Ten Little Zombies

A Little Book of Misfortunes • By Lucien Edwards

A Love Story • By Andy Rash

Born on April 17? Beware of two-headed monsters! This black book is full of eerie predictions and ominous fortunes that add a sinister twist to the typical horoscope. Readers who dare look up their birthday will discover the terrible fate that awaits them, whether it’s attack by gigantic flies or transformation into an ogre. Those who enjoy the dark side of life will be delighted by the variety of creepy creatures within these pages: vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghouls, and much more. With wickedly useful information including dark days, unlucky numbers, and evil omens, this chilling guide is sure to have readers looking under their beds and over their shoulders all year long.

When being chased by ten little zombies (no matter how cute they are), your only option is to systematically destroy them one by one, or else become zombie number eleven. In this love story wrapped in a tale of zombie mayhem, a resourceful couple flees from and picks off their undead pursuers with fast-paced ingenuity and an entertaining range of zombie-thwarting tools. As the zombies shuffle and stumble their way toward a variety of gruesome ends, our heroes must come up with new ways to escape sticky situations and stay together. This darkly funny illustrated tale—think Bunny Suicides meets Edward Gorey meets Hallmark—celebrates the romantic side of a zombie plague, with plenty of BRAINS and a lot of heart.

Lucien Edwards is a San Francisco–based writer.

Andy Rash is an artist and writer living in Brooklyn, New York.

The Marvelous Museum: Orphans, Curiosities & Treasures

Bruce Sargeant and His Circle

A Mark Dion Project • By The Oakland Museum of California

Painter Mark Beard is a master of fiction. Working in the 1920s style of his imaginary gay great-uncle Bruce Sargeant, Beard creates images of athletes in various stages of dress and undress. This archly homoerotic, exquisitely rendered body of work is rounded out with paintings by Bruce’s circle of friends and associates: his Classicist teacher, Modernist lesbian best friend, and Abstract Expressionist art-school rival. Critical essays, remembrances from New York society members, and other ephemera from this lively quartet of fictional characters create an enticing journey into history, literature, and art.

What is the role of the museum in contemporary society? Using the Oakland Museum of California as a case study, artist Mark Dion examines how museum practices have shifted over time, what these changes mean for objects in museum collections, and what we can learn about our culture from what’s included and what’s abandoned. Enclosed in a clamshell case and featuring fourteen specimen cards, this deluxe volume brings the reader into Dion’s process and reveals how the order of images can change one’s perception of objects. Contributions from celebrated writers, including Lawrence Weschler and D. Graham Burnett, articulate Dion’s unique power of examination. Mark Dion is an internationally known artist whose work examines history, collecting ideologies and the intersection of art and science.

Figure and Form • By Mark Beard • Introduction by Thomas Sokolowski

Bruce Sargeant’s work is featured in Abercrombie & Fitch’s flagship stores thanks to the efforts of Mark Beard, a painter who resides in New York City. Thomas Sokolowski is the director of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvannia.

In gardening, there’s nothing more frustrating than making the same mistake twice. Essential for gardeners of every skill level, this guided horticultural diary helps track successes and lessons learned.

Expert gardener Mimi Luebbermann gives seasonal checklists for hot, warm, temperate, and cold climates. Covering everything from vegetable gardening to organic pest control and harvesting herbs, Mimi’s advice will shepherd gardeners whether they have rolling fields or just a few precious yards. As their gardens grow, so will their journal—and their expertise, of course.

With interest in home gardening at an all-time high and concerns about food production and safety making headlines, Farm Together Now explores the current state of grassroots farming in the U.S. Part oral history and part treatise on food politics, this fascinating project is an introduction to the many individuals who are producing sustainable food, challenging public policy, and developing community organizing efforts. With hundreds of photographs and a foreword from New York Times columnist Mark Bittman, Farm Together Now will educate, inspire, and cultivate a new wave of modern agrarians.

Mimi Luebbermann is the author of almost twenty books on gardening and cooking. She lives on a farm in Petaluma, California. Photographer Susie Cushner lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Born Modern

The Exquisite Book

The Life and Design of Alvin Lustig • By Steven Heller and Elaine Lustig Cohen

100 Artists Play a Collaborative Game • By Julia Rothman, Jenny Volvovski, and Matt Lamothe • Foreword by Dave Eggers

Alvin Lustig was modern before it was cool. But there has never been a monograph devoted to his work—until now. A genius best known for his book covers and interior design, his theories on design education were precursors to the curricula of some of the most renowned design schools today. Lustig lent his imaginative vision and talent to a wide range of legendary projects, from the groundbreaking architecture of 1940s Los Angeles to magazine covers that have become collector’s items. Spanning the breadth of Lustig’s tragically brief but prolific career, Born Modern is a must-have for any student or practitioner of design, as well as anyone interested in the history of American visual culture.

In The Exquisite Book, one hundred indie artists play an ingenious version of the Exquisite Corpse drawing game. Each adorns a page with artwork—having seen only the page of the artist immediately prior and using a single horizon line to connect the two. Some continue the “story” quite literally while others build on the previous page in more fanciful ways. This astonishing volume’s format is as unique as its content, with each of the book’s ten chapters residing on a ten-page accordion pull-out, allowing readers to view the art continuously. With an illustrated foreword by Dave Eggers, and art from such luminaries as James Jean and Jill Bliss, this charming book is, simply, exquisite.

Steven Heller is an editor and writer on design. Elaine Lustig Cohen, wife of Alvin Lustig, is a book and jacket designer and artist.

Julia Rothman, Jenny Volvovski, and Matt Lamothe are partners in Also Design. Jenny is author of the popular blog Book-By-Its-Cover.com. Dave Eggers is a writer and editor.

Praise for NRDC: “One of the nation’s most powerful environmental groups.” — New York Times “By many accounts, the most effective lobbying and litigating group on environmental issues.” —Wall Street Journal “NRDC’s lawyers are said by eco-observers to know more about environmental law than the government does.” —U.S. News & World Report “A credible and forceful advocate for stringent environmental protection.” — National Journal “If the planet has a lawyer, it’s John Adams.” —Rolling Stone

A Force for Nature The Story of NRDC and the Fight to Save Our Planet • By John H. Adams and Patricia Adams with George Black

The world’s preeminent environmental organization began with a layer of soot on the windowsill of a Greenwich Village apartment. Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) founder John H. Adams, a pioneer of environmental action, was working as a lawyer for the U.S. Attorney’s office when he and fellow lawyers teamed up to form a grassroots environmental advocacy group. Since 1970, NRDC has grown into an international powerhouse with 1.2 million members and a staff of scientists and lawyers whose mission is to safeguard the planet. This inspiring memoir tells the story of the NRDC and the environmental movement it sparked. John H. Adams was NRDC’s executive director and, later, president from 1970 until 2006. He served on President Clinton’s Council for Sustainable Development, and sits on the boards of numerous environmental organizations, including NRDC. He lives in New York.

Patricia Adams is a long-time supporter of NRDC and a steering committee member of NRDC’s Partnership for the Earth campaign.

“T he Commonsense Kitchen is filled with good, practical recipes, and a strong spirit of the author’s mission—teaching and feeding hungry students on a working ranch, then passing all that on to the reader. It makes me want to work up a good appetite then head for the kitchen!” —Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and What We Eat When We Eat Alone

Try this delicious twist on toast: Gr iddle Toas t Just set a skillet over a medium flame (or use the pancake griddle as we do at Deep Springs), generously butter a thick slice of bread on both sides (the basic dinner bread recipe in this book is excellent for toast), and toast the bread in the skillet, checking it carefully and turning it a few times, until it is golden brown. Serves 1.

The Commonsense Kitchen 500 Recipes Plus Lessons for a Hand-Crafted Life • By Tom Hudgens

Every once in a while a cookbook comes along that is at once so useful and so spirited you can imagine it becoming a kitchen staple. The Commonsense Kitchen is such a book. And it’s from an unusual source: one of the toughest colleges to get into in the United States, Deep Springs is an organic farm, school, and working cattle ranch in the high desert of the Sierra Nevada. This general cookbook has more than 500 recipes for delicious, honest staples and sassy regional specialties such as Red Chile Enchiladas and Mama Nell’s Kentucky Bourbon Balls. What’s more, this book features amazing food as well as lessons in life skills, from the proper way to wash dishes to how to make homemade soap. The Commonsense Kitchen is equally at home on the shelf of an urban foodie or a rural home cook. Tom Hudgens attended and cooked at Deep Springs Ranch, Chez Panisse, and Liberty Café in San Francisco.

The Outrageous Party Game of Sexy Stories and Tall Tales By Thrusti Kicki Grabbi

By Teal Triggs

In this hilarious party game by the authors of the bestselling Truth or Dare, players compete to tell the sexiest, silliest, and steamiest erotic tales they can dream up. Each turn of the card reveals the components of a player’s story, uncovering naughty storylines, sexy scenarios, and overthe-top extras (did somebody say whipped cream?). Opponents can join the fun by playing Twist Cards—stealing points and cards from other players, or forcing them to change the plots and characters of their tales mid-story. With plenty of laughs, gasps, and ups and downs (of all kinds!), Kiss and Tell is the ultimate in erotically charged fun.

For more than 60 years, fanzines have been one of the most significant forms of self-expression. Often handmade and disseminated through underground networks, the fanzine is credited as being both the original medium for many of today’s mainstream publications and the predecessor to the blogging craze. This highly visual compendium showcases the best, most thought provoking, and downright weirdest fanzines ever produced. With topics ranging from punk to personal politics, Fanzines includes both widely known fanzines as well as rare publications culled from passionate collectors. Spanning the history of the fanzine from the early experimentation with underground presses to contemporary and electronic fanzines, this is a comprehensive and unprecedented look at a fascinating phenomenon. Teal Triggs is professor of graphic design and head of research at the London College of Communication.

Design Research

Gothic and Dark Lowbrow Art • By Matt Dukes Jordan

The Store That Brought Modern Living to American Homes By Jane Thompson and Alexandra Lange • Foreword by Rob Forbes

Like a corpse in a zombie movie, the Goth movement has been resuscitated—stronger, more powerful, and more contagious than ever before. From fashion to music, Goth influences have crept into every area of pop culture, and nowhere is that influence creepier, more fascinating, and more playful than in the art world. Weirdo Noir is the followup volume to Weirdo Deluxe, the book that brought the once underground Low Brow art scene to prominence in the public eye. In these pages you’ll find the latest and greatest work from 30 Low Brow arists who have embraced the dark side, employing gothic themes in their art. Spooky and witty, Weirdo Noir is destined to become a classic of the millennial Goth aesthetic. Matt Dukes Jordan is an artist and writer. The author of Weirdo Deluxe, he lives in Los Angeles.

When Ben Thompson opened Design Research in Boston in 1953, his innovative store became synonymous with modern interior design, lighting a public spark that still burns today, though the store itself is no longer. When the mass-produced furniture of impersonal department stores reigned supreme, this boutique retailer dared to provide a learned yet unpretentious environment for sleek design. Today, Design Research’s legacy can be seen in the showrooms of Crate & Barrel and Design Within Reach. Through interviews, anecdotes and lush photographs, Design Research documents the array of household objects and furniture introduced to the American home through the legendary store that made good design available to all. Author Jane Thompson is an urban designer and planner. She lives in Boston. Alexandra Lange is a journalist and architectural historian.
