Be Exceptional. Be Modern. IT’S LONELY IN THE MODERN WORLD

SECTION 1: INTERIORS It’s no coincidence that the journey to modernity begins indoors. We spend our days at computers, our nights in front of the television, and though we may profess to be nature lovers, organic gardeners, and erstwhile outdoor hobbyists, the truth is that our lives are lived indoors, cocooned in the luxuries of the bourgeoisie — espresso machines, heated towel racks, and high-thread-count sheets. Shunted from work to home and back, there is precious joy in cultivating our domestic surroundings. But navigating the vast sea of choices for modern living can be daunting. When your home space is so vital, there is no threshold for failure. Precious few are fortunate enough to browse fittings and furnishings catalogs with the shrewd eye of an interior designer or the rigor of a minimalist architect, yet there is no remedy for the crippling embarrassment of purchasing a complete kitchen from a discount showroom. That’s where It’s Lonely in the Modern World comes in. In this section, we reveal the choices, techniques, and materials that will create a vibrant modern home. It may require a bit more effort and study, but ultimately the DIY approach outlined here yields greater rewards. We’ll walk you through the elements of a well-appointed modern home. From the cold reflective surfaces of walls, floors, and countertops, to the high-end whirring appliances in your stainless-steel kitchen, to the best methods for illuminating a windowless room, you’ll learn how these elements combine to achieve the modern ideal. Discover how to assemble the most mono of monochromatic color palettes, how to achieve the elusive open floor plan, and how a surfeit of design challenges can easily be solved with plywood. Soon you’ll be comfortable tossing around terms like “distressed” and “reclaimed.” Antique family heirlooms and tragic IKEA dorm decorations will give way to rooms filled with vintage and po-mo furniture, or, if you so choose, cavernous rooms filled with nothing at all. And should all else fail, you’ll learn how exposed ductwork can solve nearly any design flaw.

True modernity requires much more than discipline, vision, and a willingness to live without upper kitchen cabinets. It’s Lonely in the Modern World outlines exactly what’s required to achieve sleek design and the requisite ennui.

The authors advise on a number of topics. Readers will learn how to navigate the vast array of concrete finishes and plywood grades, accessorize with children and pets, opine with authority on rooflines. Featuring detailed illustrations, beautifully staged photos, and helpful charts, this master manual is perfect for aspiring modernists, those who love them, and, of course, those who love to hate them.

How to Speak Wookiee

The Boy Who Loved Batman

A Manual for Intergalactic Communication By Wu Kee Smith • Illustrations by JAke

The True Story of How a Comics-Obsessed Kid Conquered Hollywood to Bring the Dark Knight to the Silver Screen By Michael E. Uslan

On the heels of the best-selling How to Speak Zombie comes an essential guide for every Star Wars fan: How to Speak Wookiee. With intergalactic travel easier than ever, Wookiees can now be found on nearly every planet in the Star Wars galaxy and on starships everywhere in between. Learning to understand and communicate with Wookiees is critical to avoiding unpleasant (and potentially fatal) misunderstandings—Wookiees have notoriously short fuses. This first-ever guide to the Wookiee tongue offers a crash course in human-Wookiee relations. Helpful phrases for a wide variety of common scenarios are illuminated by detailed illustrations, and Chewbacca himself demonstrates proper pronunciation in the attached sound module.

Is any superhero cooler than Batman? He’s a crime-fighting vigilante with a tragic past, a lawless attitude, and a seemingly endless supply of high-tech gadgetry. In this fully illustrated memoir, author Michael Uslan recalls his journey from early childhood fandom through to the decades he spent on a caped crusade of his own: to bring Batman to the silver screen as the dark, serious character he was at heart. Uslan’s story traces his path from the wilds of New Jersey to the limelight of Hollywood, following his work as producer on every Batman film from Tim Burton’s 1989 re-envisioning to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. Through it all, he helped to create one of the most successful pop culture franchises of all time.

Wu Kee Smith is an expert on the Wookiee language and culture. He is the author of the Galactic News best-selling book The Wookiee in the Tree. He splits his time between San Francisco, California, and Kashyyyk.

Michael E. Uslan is a film producer with numerous award-winning projects to his credit. He has been a speaker at the Smithsonian Institution and was the first professor to teach a course in comic books at an accredited university. He lives in New Jersey.

Her countless fans, much like the sassy women in her vintage-with-a-twist artwork, enjoy the appeal of a well-made drink and an opportunity for a little creative misbehavior. This chic volume pairs delicious, easy-to-make cocktails alongside Taintor’s classic collages.

Surely it’s five o’clock somewhere.

Whether you’re making a toast at a wedding, trying to break the ice at a party, or just want to make your boss giggle, the Ultimate Book of Jokes is the first and last resource you’ll ever need. From road-crossing chickens and classic knock knock jokes to the naughty, nice, and totally soused, no subject goes unmocked in this collection of over 1,500 jokes, packaged in a deluxe embossed board cover with 2-color line art throughout. Scott McNeeley, author of Ultimate Book of Card Games, mined decades’ worth of jokes to find chuckle-inducing punch lines for joke lovers of all stripes—from “yo’ mamma” aficionados to naughty limerick connoisseurs.

Anne Taintor is a relatively good girl with a slightly checkered past. Much emulated, never replicated, she first began pairing vintage illustrations with witty sayings 25 years ago, cutting and gluing images at her kitchen table. She lives in a straw-bale house in rural New Mexico.

Scott McNeely is the author of Ultimate Book of Card Games, and many other titles. He has written for numerous magazines, Web sites, and travel guidebooks. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

The Conductor

The Big Poster Book of Hindu Deities

By Laetitia Devernay

12 Removable Prints • By Sanjay Patel

Pairing two seemingly disparate elements—an orchestra conductor and a grove of trees—award-winning artist Laetitia Devernay herself orchestrates a visual magnum opus. Her spare, yet intricate, illustrations truly appear to take flight before our eyes and her wordless narrative nearly roars with sound as the conductor prompts the leaves to rustle, then whirl, then swirl to unexpected life with each turn of the page. It is a celebration of creativity, imagination, storytelling, and the renewing power of nature that will entrance readers of every age.

I almost never order this famous, gloriously simple salad— named for the island of Capri, where it may or may not have been invented—in America, and I’m careful even in Italy. If it’s made, as it all too often is, with cottony, flavorless tomatoes and rubbery, not-quite-fresh mozzarella, it is downright unpleasant. Made in prime tomato season, on the other hand, with tomatoes that are still firm (a little green doesn’t hurt) but ripening and with fresh mozzarella— bufala if possible—that is no more than a day or so old (domestic or imported), it is one of the most delicious salads in the world. 4 firm, ripening tomatoes, sliced about £ inch / 6 millimeters thick £ pound /125 grams fresh mozzarella, preferably bufala, sliced about £ inch / 6 millimeters thick 8 to 10 basil leaves, torn into large pieces £ cup / 60 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil salt

Arrange the tomato slices on a platter, and arrange the mozzarella slices over them. Scatter the basil leaves over the top of the salad. Drizzle with the oil and season generously with salt before serving.

“ One of the best memories of my last trip to San Francisco was standing in line outside the Ferry Building, contemplating which hot dog I was going to order from the 4505 stand. Just watching people walking away munching on dogs piled high with crisp chicharrones was a treat. It was topped only by getting my own Zilla dog, which was every bit as delicious as advertised.” —Ruth Reichl

Whole Beast Butchery The Complete Visual Guide to Beef, Lamb, and Pork • By Ryan Farr with Brigit Binns • Photographs by Ed Anderson

DIY fever + quality meat mania = old-school butchery revival! Artisan cooks who are familiar with their farmers’ market are now buying small farm–raised meat in butchersized portions. Dubbed a “rock star” butcher by the New York Times, San Francisco chef and self-taught meat expert Ryan Farr demystifies the butchery process with 500 step-by-step photographs, master recipes for key cuts, and a primer on tools, techniques, and meat handling. This visual manual is the first to teach by showing exactly what butchers know, whether cooks want to learn how to turn a primal into familiar and special cuts or to simply identify everything in the case at the market. Ryan Farr is the owner and founder of 4505 Meats, where he makes artisanal sausages and his patented chicharrones, and teaches sell-out butchery classes for home and professional cooks. He lives in San Francisco.

“ If you were young at any time in the last 44 years, you know the fold-in.” —Neil Genzlinger, writing in the New York Times

Featuring a brand new Fold-In created exclusively for this collection!

The MAD Fold-In Collection 1964 –2010 • By Al Jaffee • With essays by Pete Docter, Jules Feiffer, Neil Genzlinger, and Al Jaffee

Al Jaffee’s fold-ins, on the inside back cover of virtually every issue of MAD Magazine since 1964, have become an icon of American humor. Generations have grown up with Jaffee’s inspired skewerings of our foibles and cultural conundrums. Issue after issue, each Fold-in requires the reader to simply fold the page so that arrow A meets arrow B to reveal the hidden gag image, a simple idea that masks both undeniable artistic ingenuity and comic timing. In this deluxe four-volume set, each of the 410 fold-ins is reproduced at its original size, with a digital representation of the corresponding “folded” image on the following page (so collectors won’t have to “fold” their book to get the jokes). Featuring insightful essays by such luminaries as Pixar’s Pete Docter and humorist Jules Feiffer, The MAD Fold-In Collection is the definitive gift for the millions of fans who’ve grown up with MAD for nearly 60 years. Al Jaffee began his career in comics in 1941, and is the creator of the innovative MAD fold-in. Pete Docter is the Oscar-winning director of the celebrated Pixar films, Monsters, Inc. and Up.

Jules Feiffer is a Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist, author, and playwright. Neil Genzlinger is a cultural critic for the New York Times.

There are few things more boring than to see people counting their pennies mournfully. . . and few things more attractive than to see people living charmingly and cheaply.” —from Bubbly on Your Budget

Bubbly on Your Budget

A Shade of Red

Live Luxuriously with What You Have • By Marjorie Hillis

One Lipstick and One Hundred Women • Photographs by Alyson Fox

Bubbly on Your Budget is an effervescent guide to living on a budget without sacrificing style. First published in 1937, these tips stand the test of time. Author Marjorie Hillis proves that it isn’t how much we have, but how we act, that matters. With a charming can-do attitude she offers hundreds of creative solutions, including creating the perfect capsule wardrobe, dining out for brunch rather than dinner, and setting aside a budget for “miscellaneous” (this is where the bubbly fits in!) each month. Brimming with vintage line illustrations, this delightful book shows that being smart about money—and living life to the fullest— never goes out of style.

Photographer Alyson Fox approached 125 women, most of whom had never before had their portrait taken, and asked them to pose for her with one condition: each must wear Revlon’s Certainly Red lipstick. The resulting photographs lovingly capture each woman’s individual beauty and passion. At once a thought-provoking examination of female identity and a visual pleasure, A Shade of Red explores how women sometimes reveal their true selves by “putting a face on” for the camera.

Marjorie Hillis (1889 –1971) worked for Vogue for more than 20 years.

Alyson Fox is an illustrator, photographer, and a former visual director for Anthropologie. Her art has been featured in the New York Times and ReadyMade, and on Oprah and Design*Sponge. She lives in Austin, Texas.

Twiggy—still in her tween body and just seventeen years when she broke onto the scene—seemed an unlikely successor to Marilyn Monroe, who had been the essence of style and beauty just a few years before. And yet, shortly after Monroe’s death, Twiggy had taken the world by storm, being named the Face of ’66 by the Daily Express and revolutionizing the fashion ideal with her mod, youthful style. with london’s Swinging Sixties as a backdrop, Twiggy carried the mod look, a combination of geometric prints and seamlines, high collars and higher hemlines, flirtatious buttons and bows, and baby doll dresses, all draped on her straight-as-an-arrow frame and topped off with an androgynous pixie haircut and mile-long fake lashes. America, still fully immersed in the British Invasion of rock, received Twiggy with open arms; she captured the youth, ambition, and self-image of the era. Twiggy achieved exactly the right balance of fun innocence and striking drama, her eyes alone seemed duplicitously coquettish and uncorrupt, an ambiguity underscored by her refusal to appear in revealing clothes. It was perhaps this modesty that led her to quit modeling after four years, though she is still credited with being the first modern supermodel, as well as pioneering perennially popular styles like the mini-skirt.

Twiggy in the ’60s

It goes without saying that the Twigg y dress is a mini. Both dress options have a baby doll silhouette with oversized button plackets (pretty adorable, in our opinion). Seam lines at the bust and racer back armholes give the dress a more form fitting shape through the chest. The icon dress has the mini hemline that Twigg y herself may have worn. Play up the geometry with large mod contrasting buttons and the fun circle pockets. For a more “Swinging London” look, sew the color block variation with the slightly longer hem length. Each dress option can be sewn with either hemline and with or without pockets. They both look great over stockings, leggings, and— don’t let Twigg y know we said so—skinny jeans.

“ I spent more time surfing than anything else, so I decided to open a shop. I started experimenting with ways to keep warm. One guy told me that after the five guys on the beach got outfitted, I would be out of business. It was a slow start. But the good thing was, I didn’t have any competition.” —from Jack O’Neill: It’s Always Summer on the Inside

The Eighties at Echo Beach Photographs by Mike Moir • Introduction by Jamie Brisick

You won’t find Echo Beach on any map. But for a band of surfers from Newport Beach the stretch between 52nd and 56th street was an entire universe of ‘80s cool. These DayGlo surfers singlehandedly demolished the laid-back ‘70s style with a loud blast of Devo and attitude. Out of the water, they wore Aquanet pompadours, Wayfarers, and neon boardshorts. In the water, they ripped up the wave two feet from local photographer Mike Moir’s Canon fish eye. The photos he published in the surf magazines ignited a counter culture that grew into the ‘80s as we know and love them. Echo Beach captures the marriage of surf and fashion that was ground zero of the ‘80s, when a zebra-striped twin fin surfboard and a hot yellow wet suit was the ticket to happiness. Canadian-born photojournalist Mike Moir has resided in Southern California since the 1940s. He works in the Newport-Huntington area. Jamie Brisick is a surfer, author, and journalist living in New York.

Jack O’Neill: It’s Always Summer on the Inside By Drew Kampion

No one has done more to expand the world of surfing than Jack O’Neill. In the middle of the twentieth century, surfing was overwhelmingly confined to warm-water latitudes and summer seasons. By the end of the century, surfers were riding waves in some of the most remote coldwater corners of the world—places like Scotland, Tasmania, and Canada—in the dead of winter. Jack O’Neill made it all possible with his invention of the wet suit. This is his story, lushly illustrated with archival photos and classic surfing images and brought vividly to life through quotes from some of the most famous surfers of the past 50 years. Drew Kampion is a former editor of several surf magazines and author of many books, including Stoked! A History of Surf Culture. He lives on an island in Washington.

(ASTOR PLACE HAIRSTYLIST)

Hairstylist Eliath Pineda works at one of New York City’s oldest and most iconic barber shops, Astor Place Hairstylist.

With the help of creative friends such as Erica Domesek of P.S. - I made this and embroidery queen Jenny Hart, Ed shows how to stencil on just about anything—T-shirts, leather, mirrors, food, and even hair—using a variety of techniques like stitching, etching, and more. Best of all, the stencils can be used again and again: just clean, dry, and store in the handy reclosable pocket at back!

MATERIALS

Stencil White “Halloween” hair color spray Clippers Straight razor Hair-cutting experience INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut it short The hair must be cut short: ¼ to ½ in / 6 to 12 mm long. The length of hair left on the head is your base layer.

2. Choose the design Choose a stencil without too much detail. Hold the stencil to the head in the area you want the design to appear. Make sure it wraps snugly to the head.

3. Spray to play Carefully spray the color spray into the stencil design area. Lift the stencil and the design should be “painted” on the hair. This painted design is the template you will be using.

4. Decisions, decisions You have the choice to remove the hair that is colored in or shave away the hair that is around the colored hair, so the design is either made of skin or made of hair. We are leaving the colored-in area and removing the rest, for what Eliath calls the “tattooed look.”

5. Buzz . . . Using the clippers, carefully remove the natural-colored hair in and around your design. You can shave away about a ½-in/12-mm border to outline the design. You can then use a straight razor to fine-tune the design and remove more hair.

6. Take it to a pro If you don’t have these skills, I suggest just bringing the stencil to your barber. If you are in NYC, bring it to Eliath at Astor and tell him Ed sent ya.

Ruth Bernhard: The Eternal Body

Music for a City, Music for the World

A Collection of Fifty Nudes • Foreword by Karen Sinsheimer Essay by Margaretta Mitchell

100 Years with the San Francisco Symphony • By Larry Rothe

Described by Ansel Adams as the “greatest photographer of the nude,” Ruth Bernhard created a collection of images that ranks among the most profound photographs of the female form. Her intense, studied camerawork transcended the boundaries between the spirit and the flesh. Ruth Bernhard: The Eternal Body is the first monograph of Bernhard’s nudes, in print for 25 years, and now in a newly designed hardcover. Featuring a new foreword by Karen Sinsheimer, and an illuminating biography by Margaretta Mitchell, this new edition of a landmark book honors one of our most celebrated artist photographers.

In Music for a City, Music for the World, Larry Rothe shares how the San Francisco Bay Area’s love of music, rooted in the Gold Rush, gave birth to a Grammy-winning and internationally acclaimed orchestra. Released in time for the San Francisco Symphony’s celebration of its 100th anniversary, this definitive history—replete with hundreds of archival photos and images—gives readers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of the world’s foremost orchestras and, in so doing, illuminates the cultural life of a city. Larry Rothe is co-author of For the Love of Music and longtime editor of the San Francisco Symphony’s program book. He lives in Berkeley, California.

Ruth Bernhard (1905–2006) was one of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century. Karen Sinsheimer is curator of photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Margaretta Mitchell is a photographer who exhibits internationally.

Colombo’s beautiful illustrations of New York City have graced the cover of The New Yorker four times, brilliantly depicting silhouetted rooftop water towers, an illuminated Chrysler Building at night, the iconic Empire Diner, and the ubiquitous hot dog stand. Amazingly, all of the images were created on an iPhone using the software program Brushes. Here are 100 of Colombo’s best pieces in full color. Every scene is unmistakably New York: familiar, grand, timeless, and laced with modern, cutting-edge technology. Immediately recognizable to native New Yorkers, but also perfect for anyone who admires the Big Apple, this is a monograph of an artist and a city. Jorge Colombo has lived in some of America’s most vibrant cities. The former art director of Chicago’s NewCity, San Francisco magazine, and Jungle Media, he now lives in New York. Jen Bekman is a gallerist, entrepreneur, writer, and native

A lost Channel island 100 miles off the coast of California A serious navigational hazard that nearly sunk the longest ship in the US Navy A graveyard of lost ships Home to lobsters the size of men and sharks the size of buses Site of the strangest nation building project in the history of mankind Site of the most dangerous missions in the history of surfing The producer of the biggest rideable waves on earth

Ghost Wave The Discovery of Cortes Bank and the Biggest Wave on Earth • By Chris Dixon

Rising from the depths of the North Pacific lies a fabled island, now submerged just 15 feet below the surface of the ocean. Rumors and warnings about Cortes Bank abound, but among big wave surfers, this legendary rock is famous for one simple (and massive) reason: this is the home of the biggest rideable wave on the face of the earth. In this dramatic work of narrative non-fiction, journalist Chris Dixon unlocks the secrets of Cortes Bank and pulls readers into the harrowing world of big wave surfing and high seas adventure above the most enigmatic and dangerous rock in the sea. The true story of this Everest of the sea will thrill anyone with an abiding curiosity of—and respect for— mother ocean. Chris Dixon’s work has appeared in the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, Outside, Men’s Journal, Surfer, and Surfer’s Journal. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Life of Fly

Dead Inside: Do Not Enter

By Magnus Muhr

Notes from the Zombie Apocalypse • A Lost Zombies Book

When they’re not buzzing in our ears or ruining our picnics, flies have lives of their own. Until now, their tiny world has remained completely unknown to humankind. In this engaging study, photographer Magnus Muhr carefully documents the world of the common housefly and reveals that when we’re not around, flies behave pretty much like we do. Playing golf or soccer, sunbathing, partying, dating, singing, and even fly fishing—anything’s possible in the fascinating (if brief) Life of Fly. Featuring the best of Muhr’s spooky yet surprisingly sweet creations, this macabre collection is sure to captivate humans like no fly has done before.

Post Secret meets World War Z in this chilling vision of the fallout following a global zombie pandemic. A gradual mutation of a virulent strain of “super flu” gives rise to millions of the undead, who quickly overwhelm treatment facilities and swarm cities around the world, leaving survivors on their own against a legion of the infected. This chilling story is told through the scraps of paper, scrawled signs, and cryptic markers left by survivors as they struggle to stay alive and find those they’ve lost in a world overrun by zombies. Through these found notes and messages—letters to loved ones, journal fragments, confessions, and warnings— readers can uncover the story of what went wrong, and come to know the individual voices of those affected by the zombie crisis.

Magnus Muhr is an avid photographer of a variety of subjects, from nature photography, portraits, and nudes to his popular fly vignettes. He lives in Sweden.

Lost Zombies is a San Francisco Bay Area–based social network for zombie fans that logs a quarter-million page views monthly.

Shakespeare’s Love Sonnets

The Gilded Edge

Illustrations by Caitlin Keegan

The Art of the Frame • By Eli Wilner

Shakespeare’s sonnets are revered the world over for perfectly capturing the torments and joys of love—requited or otherwise—in just fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. This treasure of a book collects 29 of the bard’s most romantic sonnets, each one lovingly illustrated by the talented Caitlin Keegan. Pretty and contemporary, the illustrations tastefully accentuate the depth of sentiment in each sonnet. A brilliant sun rises over the 17th Sonnet (“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”) and a graceful animal adorns the 19th Sonnet (“Devouring time, blunt thou the lion’s paws”). Available just in time for Valentine’s Day but appropriate for any spontaneous expression of love, this is an ideal, sophisticated gift for the legions of Shakespeare fans.

Originally published in 2000, The Gilded Edge was the first book to offer an in-depth look at America’s legacy of exquisite antique picture frames. Studied and appreciated in Europe for many years, frame connoisseurship was neglected in America until Eli Wilner created this lushly illustrated celebration of the craft. Reissued with a beautiful new jacket and an updated introduction by the author, this invaluable guide showcases frames as works of art through an array of insightful essays by art-world luminaries and a plethora of sumptuous photographs.

Caitlin Keegan is a Brooklyn-based designer and illustrator. She has been featured in Bust, the New York Times, Nylon, and other publications.

Eli Wilner is credited with reawakening awareness and appreciation for the antique American frame. His business framed twenty-eight paintings in the White House collection. It created a hand-carved, gilded replica of the lost original frame for Washington Crossing the Delaware, which will be featured at the opening of the renovated American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in January 2012.

“ Herron warms and breaks your heart by equal turns but never stoops to easy sentiment. All stripes of knitters will find themselves in these honest essays about love, loss, laughter and, of course, knitting. A Life in Stitches is like an afternoon with a friend, one who understands that we track the events in our lives by the yarns we’ve worked with rather than by the calendar.” —Adrienne Martini, author of Sweater Quest

A Life in Stitches Knitting My Way Through Love, Loss, and Laughter • By Rachael Herron

In these 20 heartfelt essays, Rachael Herron—celebrated romance novelist by day, 911 dispatcher by night, and founder of the hugely popular blog Yarnagogo.com—shows how when life unravels there’s always a way to knit it back together again, many times into something even better. Honest, funny, and full of warmth, Herron’s tales, each inspired by something she knit or something knit for her, will speak to anyone who has ever picked up a pair of needles. From her very first sweater (a hilarious disaster, to say the least) to the yellow afghan that caused a breakup (and, ultimately, a breakthrough), every piece has a moving story behind it. This beautifully crafted and candid collection is perfect for the knitter who loves to read and the reader who loves to knit. Rachael Herron is the creator of Yarnagogo.com, which receives over 90,000 hits a month, and the author of the novel How to Knit a Love Song. She lives with her better half in Oakland, California.

C REATIVE E DITIONS From our new distribution partner, Creative Editions, come two titles destined to appeal as much to adults as to young ones.

Lineup for Yesterday

Self-Portrait with Seven Fingers

By Odgen Nash • Illustrated by C.F. Payne

The Life of Marc Chagall in Verse • By J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen

In 1949, SPORT magazine published “Lineup for Yesterday,” a collection of poems by Ogden Nash celebrating the greatest big-league baseball players of the 1800s and early 1900s. In it, the famous wordsmith paid entertaining tribute to 24 legends of the diamond, encapsulating each in just 4 clever lines. Creative Editions is proud to present Nash’s classic to a new generation in this, its first-ever publication as a picture book.

Marc Chagall was a Russian Jew and a wandering dreamer. Through wars, Nazi persecution, and the passing of nine decades, he found love, pioneered techniques in modernism, and painted. Above all, he painted. Fourteen of Chagall’s works are here vividly reproduced and accompanied by the poems of notable children’s writers J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen in this colorful celebration of a most remarkable artist.

Ogden Nash (1902–1971) was an American poet famed for his unconventional and inventive wordplay. He published more than two dozen books of poetry, starting with 1931’s Hard Lines. C.F. Payne is an American artist whose work has appeared in numerous picture books and such periodicals as Sports Illustrated. He has also painted commissioned portraits of many politicians.

J. Patrick Lewis spent years as an economics professor before finding his passion as a writer. He has since authored more than 70 picture books, including such acclaimed titles as Black Cat Bone. Jane Yolen has been called the “Hans Christian Andersen of America” due to her significant contributions to children’s literature. Among her many books is the Caldecott Medal–winning Owl Moon.

The Little Book of Screenprinting By Caspar Williamson

Screenprinting has moved beyond the gig poster and the tee shirt. Centuries old and made famous by Andy Warhol in the 1960s, the craft is now enjoying a renaissance all over the world as contemporary artists and studios— including Rob Ryan, Alakazam!, and Crosshair, among others—push the creative limits of the medium in their work with textiles, posters, and more. This large-in-scope but petite-in-size collection features the best pieces from these and more than a hundred other studios. A compact history of screenprinting, a guide to the different presses and techniques, and a beautiful design that expertly combines a handmade and modern aesthetic round out this key book for DIYers.

Practice Makes Perfect: Sketching and Drawing By Matt Pagett

Learn the language of drawing with this helpful guide that teaches artists of every skill level the grammar and vocabulary necessary to develop their own style. Beginners and pros alike will discover tons of new tips and tricks as they follow clearly illustrated, step-by-step exercises exploring every facet of drawing and sketching. Each section concludes with a four-page “genre project” on topics ranging from basic mark making to composition and tone. Presented in a unique portable package including an instructional book and a drawing pad for on-the-go sketching, this handy package is the essential drawing companion. Matt Pagett is a writer and illustrator living in Brighton, England.
