green is the new white for today’s brides—metaphorically speaking. Environmentally conscious couples are often appalled by the carbon footprint of traditional weddings and are seeking ways to express their earth-friendly values as they express their love. As Green Wedding shows, there are alternatives—products and services that can reduce environmental harm while ensuring a joyous and stylish celebration. Featuring stories of couples who have “gone green” on their wedding day, this authoritative guide by New York Times Style correspondent Mireya Navarro explains how couples can green their dream wedding, and why this is important. The book presents ideas for maximizing the sustainability of every aspect of your ceremony and reception—from choosing (and reusing) wedding attire, to offsetting the global-warming impact of your guests’ travel, to designing a menu (including cake and Champagne) that’s seasonal, local, and organic. And because environmental responsibility isn’t just a one-day affair, the book includes chapters on ecotourism honeymoons and on living sustainably throughout your married life. M i r eya N ava r ro is the West Coast Style correspondent

for the New York Times, covering lifestyle trends and the entertainment community. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for the New York Times series “How Race is Lived in America.” Navarro lives in Los Angeles.

“ The ceremony took place at dusk on a misty, rainy Saturday in the dining hall. Tables for a three-course, mostly organic meal of roast lamb, Waldorf salad, and berry cups were decorated with pine cones, leaves, and branches that were later returned to the forest. The bride donned golden flip-flops and an off-the-rack, $99 strapless dress with a tulle skirt that made her feel, she says, like the tooth fairy. Haily and Brian offered special vows to each other—his written by the female guests, hers written by the men. Then bride, groom, and best pals all took turns after the ceremony flying through the treetops swinging from a zip line, in the dark.” — from Green Wedding

how can it be that you receive dozens of personal emails each week but have nothing to do come Saturday night? That you’re constantly juggling a jam-packed schedule while always feeling that something essential is missing? Who the heck took the social out of your social life? With an attitude that’s savvy, sympathetic, and just a little bit brash, Jeanne Martinet gives you the game plan for relearning the lost art of socializing. Forget texting, IM’ing, Facebook, and Internet “relationships.” When it comes to building real friendships, there’s simply no substitute for live, in-person hospitality. In Life is Friends, Martinet focuses on entertaining at home—the dinner parties, cocktail parties, and informal gettogethers that are the key to creating lasting and fulfilling interpersonal bonds. So read what Martinet has to say. And then, go ahead: Invite people over.

who among us has not dreamed of leaving the rat race behind to follow our heart’s desire—and who among us has actually taken that leap of faith? Orlando Murrin, a former journalist and cook, did exactly that when he gave up his life in London to open a gourmet bed-and-breakfast with his partner in southwestern France. A Table in the Tarn is Murrin’s intimate account of how he painstakingly transformed the simple 19th-century Manoir de Raynaudes into a celebrated gastronomic destination. Beautifully written and photographed, this cookbook and food memoir includes more than 80 recipes for the Anglo-French dishes that have brought the Manoir acclaim, along with tales of the extraordinary people and gorgeous countryside of the unspoiled Tarn Valley. A feast for food lovers and Francophiles alike, A Table in the Tarn is a truly evocative story of life in a rural paradise.

david and ron green rev up their friendly inter-league (and sibling) rivalry once again with these newest additions to the “101 Reasons to Love” roster. This season, the Green brothers take on two more of baseball’s oldest, most-storied, and bestloved big-city clubs: the Tigers and the Phillies. Filled with action shots of today’s star players and vintage photos of Hall of Famers like Ty Cobb, Mike Schmidt, Hank Greenberg, and Grover Cleveland Alexander, the books follow each team from its beginnings right up through last year, nostalgically recalling the no-hitters and the blowouts, the dry spells and the comebacks, the world championships and the if-only’s. Somebody once said that the past is prologue—and for Phillies and Tigers fans, these books are the best possible way of getting pumped for Opening Day ’09.

chickens can count. Pigs are smarter than poodles. Cows form close friendships. Turkeys know one another by their voices, and sheep recognize faces—of other sheep, and of people. Far from lacking thoughts and feelings, barnyard creatures demonstrate sophisticated problem-solving abilities, possess rich social lives, and feel a wide range of emotions. In other words, they’re much like humans in countless ways. And, like us, they suffer physical pain and mental anguish. In The Inner World of Farm Animals, Amy Hatkoff combines the latest research on the emotional and intellectual capacities of farm animals with touching—and often surprising—stories to bring their inner world to life. Soulful photographs of cows, goats, lambs, and other barnyard animals complement the text, and add to the belief that these creatures deserve our attention. In this heartfelt book, Hatkoff joins the growing call for treating these sentient, aware beings with compassion and respect.

Saturday and Sunday. Rather, I consider it to be any time I am able to immerse myself so fully in the joy of sewing that I lose track of time and even myself, just like I did as a child. It is my hope that with this book, I will inspire you to steal some time from your busy life for this simple joy—whether sewing for you is a newfound passion or a lifelong friend.” — from Weekend Sewing

more than just a pair of days, a weekend is also a state of mind—a feeling of relaxation and freedom to immerse ourselves fully in a favorite activity. In Weekend Sewing, designer Heather Ross presents creative projects for clothing, accessories, and home items that can be made in a weekend or less. Some, like the Quick Garden Gloves and Ruby’s Bloomers, take a few hours; others, like the Weekend-Away Travel Bag and Trapeze Sundress, require a day or two—but all of them capture that weekend feeling. And because weekends are often the most fun when they’re social, Ross features ideas that encourage us to share our stitching and our time, such as a recipe for soup to simmer while sewing, then serve to guests later in the day, and tips for transporting a sewing machine to a friend’s house for an afternoon of social stitching. The sewing instructions are beautifully illustrated, and patterns for the projects are included on pullout sheets. H eath e r Ro ss designs fabric, fashion projects, sewing

when weekend knitting was first published in hardcover in 2003, a modern generation of knitters was just starting to discover this “hot new hobby.” Since then, knitting has grown wildly popular and Melanie Falick’s book has gone on to become a knitting classic and a huge bestseller. Now available in paperback, Weekend Knitting brings together unique, innovative, and still-fresh projects for beginning and more-experienced knitters, many of which can be completed in a weekend or less. Every project is presented with clear instructions and in beautiful photographs that celebrate idyllic weekend settings. Quotes from diverse sources about knitting, creativity, and balanced living—along with favorite recipes, lists of books and movies with knitting scenes, and other extras—complete the weekend knitting experience.

kathy doughty and sarah fielke, owners of the popular quilting shop Material Obsession in Sydney, Australia, bring an unconventional spirit to a traditional craft. They encourage quilters to use bold patterns and unusual color combinations, and to trust their instincts rather than follow rigid rules. In Material Obsession, Doughty and Fielke present 23 vibrant quilt patterns that appear fresh and modern, but are often based on traditional designs. They explain how any quilter, novice or seasoned, can create striking variations of their own by seeking inspiration from both the fabric in front of them and the world around them. Patterns are arranged in order of difficulty, from easy to advanced, and a techniques section fully describes the basics of patchwork and quilting. Material Obsession provides quilters with everything they need to put a modern twist on an age-old craft—and to express their own creative spirits while they’re at it.

the funeral is dead. Today, many people are forgoing the maudlin trappings and timeworn rituals of traditional funerals and instead opting to celebrate their loved ones’ lives in ways that are much more personal, meaningful, and memorable. But a memorial service that truly honors the person who has died and that uplifts those who attend takes careful planning. Celebrating a Life offers sensitive guidance on every detail—venue, food and drink, music, flowers, eulogy, program, mementoes—all with the aim of making sure that the memorial service’s honoree is remembered just as he or she would have wished. Checklists and an extensive resource directory provide much-needed help to those who have very little time in which to make the arrangements. As author Faith Moore says, this book is not about regrets, but about reimagining how we say good-bye.

by its nature, do-it-yourself sewing is environmentally friendly. In Sewing Green, Betz White takes stitching to an even higher level of sustainability, presenting 25 projects made from “repurposed” thrift-store and back-of-the-closet finds and organic fabrics. White’s whimsical yet practical designs include an apron constructed from men’s dress shirts (and a wallet from the shirts’ cuffs!), a soft blanket pieced from secondhand cashmere sweaters, and even a tote bag refashioned from used Tyvek envelopes. Along the way, White dispenses tips on everything from how to deconstruct old garments for reuse in new creations to how to wrap gifts with resusable fabric scraps instead of paper. Inspiring profiles about well-known leaders in the ecostitching movement are sprinkled throughout, and a complete resources section helps crafters make eco-smart choices. With Sewing Green, today’s sewers will be fashioning handmade heirlooms and sustaining traditions for generations to come.

“ If you’re using a pillowcase to make your skirt, take advantage of its existing details: Use the hemmed opening as the hem of the skirt. And if your pillowcase features a border print, embroidered edging, or even a ruffle, it can become a design element along the skirt’s hem. Look for unique pillowcases in the linens department of your local thrift shop or in your own closets. A skirt made from a vintage pillowcase will give you a retro look for cheap!” — from Sewing Green

when former cbs vice president Suzan Mischer decided to open a knitting store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, she wanted to create a place where people could gather, slow down, and talk (as well as buy supplies). The result was Knit Cafe, a sleek yet homey neighborhood yarn store in one of the most famous neighborhoods in the world. This fabulous shop—and its unique spirit—are celebrated in Greetings from Knit Cafe, now available in an updated paperback edition. Colorful and chic, the book offers 30 of Knit Cafe’s most dazzling patterns for “California-style” projects ranging from hiking socks to a bikini to a “red carpet” gown. It also features stories about how the celebrated store came to be and how its eclectic clientele came to shape it. Even a few favorite recipes from regular customers are included. Knitters nationwide will enjoy Knit Cafe’s California spirit and join its eclectic circle of devotees.

relationships aren’t always easy. But if cats and dogs can make them work, so can the rest of us. In Frenemies, the new book by creative partners Kim Levin and Christine Montaquila, we get an inside look at how our furry domestic friends manage to coexist on the same planet—even in the same house—and to live happily ever after. “Only count your own calories.” “Learn the twelve steps of shutting up.” “Remember their birthday. Forget their age.” These are just a few of the many words of wisdom you’ll find on the pages of this charming book. Levin’s ability to capture the moment with beautiful documentary-style photography and Montaquila’s sharp, spot-on commentary make Frenemies a great gift for animal lovers, or for anyone you love to hate.

a box and stored in a cool place. Heat, light, and oxygen are enemies of olive oil, promoting oxidation and rancidity. Even superior oil will eventually go rancid due to slow oxidation. Retail shelves are often lit by stark lights that produce heat or may even be exposed to sunlight. Dark bottles or some outside covering like a box help protect the oil. But many curious consumers want to see the color of the oil (even though color is not an accurate indicator of quality or taste), so producers often use clear glass.” — from The New American Olive Oil

american wine and cheese? Sure. But American olive oil? Absolutely. It’s been more than a decade since a California oil won an international competition—in Italy. And upstart American olive-oil producers—many profiled in this book— haven’t looked back, creating artisanal oils that now come in first place in tastings worldwide. For those whose knowledge of olive oil remains extra-virgin, author Fran Gage sets out all the essentials: buying and storing high-grade oils, understanding olive oil’s basic types, evaluating its health benefits, and doing your own olive-oil tasting. She then uses American-produced oils in dishes ranging from rustic to sophisticated. The 75 recipes include crusty snacks (crackers, flatbreads, bruschette), savory sauces (pestos, vinaigrettes, mayonnaises), and scintillating fish, meat, and poultry main courses. For daring tastebuds, there’s a sideboard of desserts— cakes, cookies, even ice cream—that include olive oil as a main ingredient. F r a n Gag e writes about food for such publications as

—Manolo Blahnik if you love shoes—and who doesn’t?—you know that nothing says as much about a woman’s style as her taste in footwear. Long before Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin, Beth Levine was designing shoes that were objects of desire and even lust. Levine (1914–2006), who introduced mules, stilettos, and fashion boots to the American market, was a visionary. Born a farmgirl, she took her design inspiration from nature—and everything else: auto racing, patchwork quilts, even the 1969 moon landing. Fashion-forward and exquisitely constructed, Levine’s shoes were worn by stars like Marilyn Monroe and Barbra Streisand, favored by designers like Halston, Oscar de la Renta, and Geoffrey Beene, and collected by Azzedine Alaïa and Manolo Blahnik. The book’s full-color photos of Levine’s creations—from vinyl cowboy boots to sublime black silk pumps—display her shoes as touchstones of glamour and, ultimately, works of art. H e le n e Ve r i n is a designer of shoes, wallpaper, rugs,

the honeymoon’s over. Now what? Couples who spend months—even years—planning their weddings are often unprepared for the transition to married life. As Sharon Naylor shows, however, the first year of marriage doesn’t have to be a gauntlet of conflict and unmet expectations. As Naylor explains in Home from the Honeymoon, newlyweds can choose to focus on all the romantic firsts they’re enjoying together: setting up their household, celebrating holidays, and savoring their new social life as a married couple. And they can survive—and learn lifelong lessons from—the inevitable battles over matters large (sex, money, meddlesome in-laws) and small (clutter, weekend plans, what color to paint the living room). Because the book is also a journal—with lots of space for jotting down milestones and memories—it will be a keepsake that married couples will relish revisiting throughout all their years together.

Create stunning photos of your baby with minimal effort and no fancy equipment

everyone who loves children—from new parents to excited grandparents—wants to take beautiful photographs of the babies in their lives, but they are often disappointed with the amateurish results. Renowned portrait photographer Nick Kelsh shows would-be shutterbugs how to successfully capture images of their kids in this accessible, easy-to-follow guide. In this revised tenth-anniversary edition of STC’s original book, Kelsh discusses digital photography for the first time, and through nine fold-out lessons, gives foolproof methods for mastering baby portraiture. Kelsh’s three main concepts—get closer to your baby, find the right light, and take lots of photos— are illuminated by clear examples and clever sidebars. Also featured are creative ways to display your work and suggestions for unique photography projects. Parents and baby lovers everywhere will benefit from using these professional tips to create priceless photographs that will last a lifetime.

tracy hutson is an acclaimed interior designer. She’s also the loving mother of two little boys. When designing their bedroom, she knew precisely what she wanted: a nursery that would be mentally stimulating yet emotionally comforting. A place that would maximize safety, shielding adventurous toddlers from harm. And a room that would be built and decorated with a healthy dose of environmental responsibility. In Feathering the Nest, Hutson shares her passion for creating children’s spaces—putting her guiding principles into practice for four different styles of nursery design: vintage, contemporary, traditional, and international. Featuring stories and photos of actual children’s rooms from around the country, the book focuses on the essential components of nursery design, including the special touches that make a room your child’s very own. The warmth and creativity of Hutson’s approach will inspire every parent to create the ideal nest for their child. Tr acy Huts o n started her own Los Angeles–based design

business in 1999. In 2003, she became part of the design team on TV’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. She has appeared on EXTRA, Access Hollywood, and Inside Edition. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and children.

a crenellated turret here, a winding, arched staircase there, maybe even a giant turtle—fantasy is at the heart of every sandcastle. Summer after summer, both children and adults make valiant efforts to infuse their sandy structures with inspiration, but the results are generally disappointing. With Sandcastles Made Simple—now available in an extremely affordable paperback edition—Lucinda Wierenga, a renowned sand sculptor, puts a permanent end to less-thanperfect beach creations. She provides the ultimate step-by-step guide to building impressive sandcastles, and shows that with a few simple tools and a basic understanding of sand, building dream castles can be easy. The book features instructions for each of the elements—base, staircase, roof, balcony, and more— that can be combined to fashion one-of-a-kind castles. Also included are projects designed for young children, guidelines for working with large groups, and tips for sandcastle contests.

whether it’s a treehouse perched among the branches or a rustic gazebo by a pond, a small-scale playhouse or a whimsical dovecote, shelters in the garden conjure thoughts of childhood and long-ago summers. A Shelter in the Garden inspires readers to re-create these bygone days by constructing their own outdoor features: arbors and pergolas, greenhouses and potting sheds, tiny cottages and canopied cabanas, birdhouses and birdfeeders. With 175 photographs of structures in beautiful garden and backyard settings, this book showcases a huge array of ideas for outdoor projects, some largely decorative, others more utilitarian. Detailed instructions are given for making 50 of these projects, with illustrations explaining the techniques and materials used. Bringing out the builder and the dreamer in all of us, A Shelter in the Garden can help anyone turn their garden or yard into an enchanting and personal space.

“when the opportunity for celebrating knocks, answer the door and offer it some Champagne!” says Karen Bussen. Author of the bestselling “Simple Stunning” wedding series, Bussen now directs her expert’s eye to a more intimate kind of festivity: the at-home party. Her simple stunning credo, though, remains the same: Create menus featuring wonderful ingredients in no-fuss, crowd-pleasing preparations; combine homemade and store-bought items in fresh, elegant presentations; tailor colors, tableware, and lighting for visual impact; and limit effort, expense, and waste. The book details 12 complete plans for four different kinds of parties—cocktail gatherings, casual suppers, formal dinners, and daytime get-togethers. Each plan includes food and drink menus (with recipes) as well as decor and music suggestions. Following Bussen’s advice, you’ll delight your guests while showcasing your personal style—which is what great parties are all about. K a r e n Buss e n is a well-known New York–based event plan-

More Than 1,000 Classic American Recipes

riding a wave of nostalgia for simpler days, more and more Americans are returning to dinnertime rituals as a way to reconnect with their families, and comfort foods as a satisfying alternative to haute cuisine. These made-from-scratch dishes come back to life when you open the pages of The Good Home Cookbook. In this highly ambitious effort, Richard Perry led his team to identify recipes that formed the foundation of American cuisine, then recruited hundreds of home cooks from all 50 states to test and retest the recipes before they were accepted for inclusion. The result is a timeless compendium of more than 1,000 familiar favorites and beloved classics, a collection that no home should be without. Simple and user-friendly, the cookbook features easy-tofollow instructions, vintage-style illustrations, menu planning ideas, and more. The Good Home Cookbook will be an instant classic and a collector’s item for culinary enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.

great recipes are family treasures and America’s culinary legacy. But what should be enduring heirlooms are easily lost—gone out of fashion, or locked up in one cook’s recipe box. Endangered Recipes showcases dishes in danger of extinction— homey favorites, the kind of food eaten on the summer porch, at the neighbors’ house, or with your grandparents. Lari Robling unearths almost-forgotten classics such as Welsh Rarebit, Green Goddess Dressing, and French Onion Dip. The recipes she’s collected reflect the extraordinary range of American cooking, from Parker House Rolls to Crispy Fried Chicken to Rice Pudding. This new paperback edition includes 80 recipes, along with Robling’s cooking memories and great food stories, sidebars that spotlight people who are “recipe rescuers,” and a guide to preserving your family’s food legacy. Now is the perfect time to begin saving—and savoring—these beloved dishes.

This small-format edition, at less than half the price of the original edition, includes 250 mouth-watering recipes. Chosen from the dessert menus of the outstanding restaurants with which Ducasse and Robert have been associated, the recipes range from traditional treats such as peach melba, tarte tatin, and oeufs à la neige to audacious concoctions such as tropical fruit–stuffed ravioli, chocolate pizza, and coconut-encrusted lollipops.

“ Most of us in the Western world associate while working as a vintage clothing dealer, combing through estate sales and eBay listings, longtime knitter Kristen Rengren amassed hundreds of knitting pattern booklets from 1920 through 1960. Now a knitwear designer, Rengren brings us the result of her combined passions in Vintage Baby Knits, a charming collection of more than 40 contemporary updates of timeless baby patterns. Projects range from small, quick-to-knit items like hats, booties, and shrugs to larger, more challenging designs for sweaters, onesies, and dresses, including a lace christening gown. Beautiful photographs capture a bevy of adorable babies and toddlers wearing these knitted treasures. Also included are sidebars on baby fashion and knitting culture in this bygone era, and a complete reference section. Destined to be a classic itself, Vintage Baby Knits promises family heirlooms for 21st-century babies.

As a relative of red, it was thought to be more masculine and aggressive. Blue, which was associated with the Virgin Mary, was considered more dainty and demure, and therefore was worn primarily by girls.” — from Vintage Baby Knits

Misery has never been so much fun

11,002 Things to Be Miserable About By Lia Romeo and Nick Romeo

448 pages, 4 ✕ 6" Paperback ISBN 978-0-8109-8363-2 US $10.95 CAN $11.95 6-copy counter display ISBN 978-0-8109-3069-8 US $65.70 CAN $71.70

11,002 Things to Be Miserable About is a list of all the reasons NOT to wake up in the morning. Ironically enough, when you put all of them under one cover, it’s actually very funny. This decidedly absurd inventory of misery is perfect for sardonic and disaffected youth, for people seeking gifts for Traumatic Event Birthdays (like 21, 25, 30, 40, and, well, anything after 40), and for anyone else with an offbeat sense of humor. Enjoy. Some of the entries are pretty basic, like imitation crabmeat, student loans, and David Hasselhoff, but other entries actually include educational things, like: Dust mites, which make up one-third of the weight of a six-year-old pillow. See, you can laugh and learn.

By GeorGe BootH

A lot of people like cats. A lot. Really. And they will love Itty Bitty Kitty Ditties, a treasury of felines from A to Z in quirky pen-and-ink illustrations and short, witty poems. Reminiscent of T. S. Eliot’s practical cats and Edward Gorey’s “The Gashlycrumb Tinies,” Itty Bitty Kitty Ditties has the makings of a brand new classic in its own right. The collection is an absolutely charming celebration of fat cats, curious cats, clever cats, vain cats, scaredy cats, boozy cats, and proud cats for the more discerning cat fancier.

Cartoonist George Booth has spent four decades at the New Yorker constructing a universe so distinct, it would be immediately identifiable even without his signature on the bottom of the panel. In Booth’s world a bare lightbulb dangles precariously . . . a frayed carpet barely covers the living room floor . . . flies buzz . . . a couple speaks matter-of-factly . . . a man looks up from behind his newspaper. And somewhere, in the foreground or off to the side, a dog twitches involuntarily. In Booth’s cartoons dogs act as a Greek chorus, serving as a proxy for the reader by pointing out the mundane absurdity of life that is obviously lost on their owners. This 40th-anniversary collection highlights George Booth’s best and funniest dog cartoons—with a special introduction by Bill Cosby.

By Oonagh O’Hagan

Like the bestsellers PostSecret and Found, I Lick My Cheese appeals to the voyeur in all of us and presents uncensored evidence from everyday lives. Presenting four-color reproductions of all kinds of notes between roommates along with her own witty commentary, Oonagh O’Hagan humorously reveals the ridiculous experiences, twisted battles, and petty desperation of people who have to live together. From the bedroom to the living room and all the filthy kitchens and bathrooms in between, every imaginable trial is on display here: bongs accidentally left out for visiting grandparents, panty-sniffing creeps, ham theft, and things stored in refrigerators that really, really shouldn’t be. Originally published in the U.K., where it was a big bestseller, I Lick My Cheese has been revised and Americanized to be the ultimate support-group-in-a-book for those suffering from enforced cohabitation.

A delightful compendium of facts, trivia, legends, quotes, and jokes about man’s best friend

Spott’s Canine Miscellany By Mike dartoN

Black-and white illustrations throughout 96 pages, 4 1⁄2 ✕ 7 1⁄4" Hardcover with jacket; ribbon marker iSBN 978-0-8109-2124-5 US $14.95 CAN $16.95 6-copy counter display iSBN 978-0-8109-3024-7 US $89.70 CAN $101.70 Rights: US and Canada Pub MoNth: april ■■■

Schott’s Original Miscellany was a publishing phenomenon. It sired a host of sequels and parodies. But no matter how patiently and for how many years they begged, the potential canine readership was left to pine, unserved. Until now. Spott’s Canine Miscellany is the obsessive dog owner’s answer to the original. It echoes (and parodies) the randomness of entry and stylish design of the original, but has been written entirely for dogs and their doting owners and admirers. The result is an irresistible potpourri of canine facts, embracing the essential, the trivial, the intriguing, and the extraordinary. In the pages of this perfect kennel-top or coffee-table book to paw through at random, you will discover such whimsical treats as dog epigraphs, the origins of breed names, an international guide to the word “dog,” the world’s oldest dog, award-winning dogs, Aesop’s fabled dogs, dog-bite statistics, a Lassie profile, and dogs who went down with the Titanic. It is, in short, the perfect companion for your perfect companion. m i k e da Rto N is a writer and editor with

a passion for words and a love for dogs. His previous titles include the collection of canine-inspired words and phrases Dog the Wag.

History

It’s human nature to want to know about the lives of famous figures, but it’s also human nature to want to know about their deaths, especially the unusual and sometimes sordid details. In smart prose with a light touch, Goners reveals the last days, hours, and moments of 50 notable and notorious figures in history such as Alexander the Great, John Belushi, Billy the Kid, Joan Crawford, Princess Diana, Charles Dickens, Cary Grant, Ernesto Che Guevara, Harry Houdini, Bruce Lee, Marie Antoinette, Pablo Picasso, Tupac Shakur, and Andy Warhol. You’d have to read 50 biographies to get all the in-depth information that author Gordon Kerr has compiled under one cover. Read straight through or just dipped into, Goners is a compelling and curious ride.

Stupid Ones in Between) By Bart Bull

Award-winning veteran music journalist Bart Bull has created a one-of-a-kind book and compiled hundreds of the most colorful, clever, obscure, and unusual band names of the past 50 years. Broken down into 35 highly designed chapters, Bull covers the worlds of Ska, Surf, Hip-Hop, Punk, Country, and Heavy Metal alongside more creative categories such as Tribute Bands, Girl Groups, Japanese Bands with English Names, and, most daringly, the Best and Worst band names of all time. The book’s free-styling flow is irresistible as one band name trips gracelessly over another from Sublime to The Ridiculous Poodles and on to The Ultimate Spinach. This jam-packed musical stream of consciousness is a perfect gift for music or language lovers as well as fans of cutting-edge graphic design.

Big Hair. They live in London.
