living in the Material World: george harrison By Olivia Harrison Edited by Mark Holborn

The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, and two years later Johnny died of cancer.

Drawing on George Harrison’s personal archive of photographs, letters, diaries, and memorabilia, Olivia Harrison reveals the arc of his life, from his guitar-obsessed boyhood in Liverpool, to the astonishment of the Beatles years, to his days as an independent musician and bohemian squire. 260 illustrations, 400 pages, 9½×10¾". iSBN: 978-1-4197-0220-4 ISBN$40.00 978-1-4197-0220-4 US CAN $45.00

Saxophone colossus saxophone Colossus A Portrait of Sonny Rollins

By Bob Gruen Introduction by Debbie Harry

Photography by John Abbott Text by Bob Blumenthal

From taking early photos on tour with Ike and Tina Turner to capturing the early CBGB/Max’s Kansas City scene and covering current stadium rockers such as Green Day, Gruen has always gotten the shot. Here, he has curated his favorite photographs from his career, with intimate captions and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, featuring such illustrious acts as the Clash, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, Ramones, and more. 250 color photos, 288 pages, 10×12".

This intimate appreciation in pictures and words combines the images of Rollins’s photographer of choice for the past 20 years—who has captured the saxophonist at home and at work—and the essays of the jazz critic who has chronicled Rollins and his art for nearly four decades. 75 color photos, 160 pages, 8½×10¼".

Plisson’s remarkable images capture the ocean’s drama and power, and provide glimpses of life in seaside communities.

Jewish Vernacular and the New Land

Sherwin with Irvin Ungar Arthur Szyk created his magnificent Haggadah in Lodz, on the eve of the Nazi occupation of his native Poland. There is no Haggadah like it, before or since, filled with sumptuous paintings of Jewish heroes and stunning calligraphy. This edition, the first since 1940 to be reproduced from Szyk’s original art, boasts a newly commissioned and extremely practical English text by Rabbi Byron L. Sherwin, ideal for use at any family Seder, and a special commentary section that gives insight into both the rituals of the Seder and Szyk’s rich illustrations. The Szyk Haggadah will transform the Seder, bringing the story of the Exodus from Egypt into a more contemporary light. 50 color illustrations, 128 pages, 9×11".
