A New York Times bestseller? Oh, you know the dogs werent going to let the cats get
away with that! This canine companion to I Could Pee on This, the beloved volume of
poems by cats, I Could Chew on This will have dog lovers laughing out loud. Doggie
laureates not only chew on quite a lot of things, they also reveal their creativity, their

such musings as I Dropped a Ball, I Lose My Mind When You Leave the House, and
Can You Smell That? Accompanied throughout by portraits of the canine poets in all
their magnificence, I Could Chew on This is a work of unbridled enthusiasm, insatiable
appetite, and, yes, creative genius.
Francesco Marciuliano is the author of the New York Times bestseller I Could Pee on This, and Sally Forth, an internationally syndicated family comic strip (created by Greg Howard) that appears in nearly 800 newspapers around the world. He
was also the head writer for the highly praised PBS childrens series SeeMores Playhouse. He lives in New York City.

Dear Eric,
. . . Its not exactly a dear kitty kind of diary,
but its just as thrilling. Steve calls it his Field
Guide, and its his homemade textbook on
vampires and other supes. You wouldnt believe
what hes got in here. I read it twice, and if I
had bodily functions, I probably would have
pissed myself laughing both times through. I
made some notes for your enjoyment.
Youre welcome, Pam
True Blood: Steve Newlins Field Guide to Vampires

( And Other Creatures of Satan) By Gianna Sobol with Michael McMillian
The vampires, werewolves, faeries, and other supernatural creatures that call Bon Temps,
Louisiana home arent universally accepted around town. Sweet-talking, bible-thumping
Steve Newlin is their self-appointed nemesis. In his demented field guide, Steve has
recorded all he knows about these Creatures of Satan, and thats a lot: their strengths,
their weaknesses, their bylaws, and, of course, how to kill them. Sadly for Stevebut
luckily for True Blood fans everywherehis journal was stolen by Fangtasia vampires Pam
and Eric, who have defaced it in a most disrespectful and snarky manner. A cunningly
produced facsimile, and a hilarious read, The Field Guide to Vampires is packed with
untold insight into our favorite TV characters, along with photos, letters, postcards, handwritten notes, and Steves own idle doodles in a scrapbook that perfectly captures the
tongue-in-cheek camp that makes True Blood the most widely watched show on HBO.
Gianna Sobol is an associate producer for True Blood.
She lives in Los Angeles.

Chain Saw Confidential
Dead Mountain
How We Made the Worlds Most Notorious Horror Movie
The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident By Donnie Eichar
and J.C. Gabel
By Gunnar Hansen
The original 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

seized the imaginations of audiences and critics, going from
controversial cult sensation to being ranked by Total Film as
the greatest horror movie ever made. Its been shown at
Cannes, briefly banned in England, and included in the
permanent collection of New Yorks MoMA. This fascinating
literary memoir of the making of the film comes from the
unique perspective of Gunnar Hansen, the actor who
played the chain sawwielding Leatherface. A critically
acclaimed poet and author, Hansen tells the real story of
the film, debunking myths, giving behind-the-scenes
details, and offering insights on the films reception and our
enduring fascination with the horror genre today.
In February 1959, a group of nine hikers in the Russian Ural

Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead
Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incidentunexplained causes
of death, a strange final photograph taken by one of the
hikers, and signs of radioactivityhave led to decades of
speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of
literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers own journals and photographs,
unseen government records, dozens of interviews, and the
authors retracing of the hikers fateful journey. A corrective to
the upcoming fictionalized Hollywood film, here for the first
time is the real story of what happened on Dead Mountain.
Gunnar Hansen is the author of several books of history, travel, and

poetry. He lives on the coast of Maine.
Donnie Eichar, an acclaimed director and producer, lives in Malibu.

J.C. Gabel is a writer and publisher, and is editor-in-chief of the
Chicagoan. He lives in Chicago.

Pronunciations, definitions, etymologies, and historical anecdotes make this beautiful
book an entertaining read, a standout reference, and a visual treat. Language lovers
and art appreciators alike will be captivated by this gem, rich in word and image.

Penguins Hate Stuff
Stop Tweeting Boring Sh*t
By Greg Stones
The New Rules of Work By Division of Labor
Penguins hate zombies. They also hate serpents, bad

haircuts, sock monkeys, leprechauns, Halloween, oil rigs,
vampire penguins, and mermaids. They really hate clowns,
but they really like capes, balloons, and free vacations.
This quirky collection reveals the discriminating tastes of
these adorable flightless Antarctic birds who encounter odd
foes (snow sharks, beavers, cowboys, samurai . . . ), but
still manage to enjoy the little things in life. With wit, humor,
and the occasional alien invasion, Greg Stoness paintings
capture the playfully absurd life of penguins.
The new generation of workers needs a new workplace

manual designed to explain the particular norms, boundaries,
and expectations of the contemporary office environment
and help them navigate the cutthroat reality of a cubicled
9 to 5. Enter Stop Tweeting Boring Sh*t, a handbook of
vintage-style public service announcements addressing
modern office issues, including such gems as: If you dont
have something nice to say, e-mail it, If it doesnt have a
meeting invite, it didnt happen, and Nothing good comes
from hitting reply all. With plenty of revealing (and real)
workplace statistics peppered throughout, plus a full-size
Stop Tweeting Boring Sh*t pull-out poster to hang in the
cubicle, this colorful guide offers just the motivation young
people need to hunker down and get to work.
Greg Stones is an artist and the author of Zombies Hate Stuff,

another excellent book about things that hate stuff. He lives and
works in Rhode Island.

Numero
By Marion Bataille
From the imaginative designer behind the bestselling alphabet book ABC 3D, this visually dazzling exploration of numbers is equal parts playful pop-up book and work of art.
This creative twist on the classic counting book reveals how the most basic shapes
just a single line and a circlebecome the building blocks for every number. We begin
with the two simplest digits: 0 and 1. With each turn of a page, the same shapes slide
into place to form 2, then 3, all the way up to 10. A tour de force of creative engineering,
Numero is a treat for the whole family: children will delight in the magical transformations,
while art lovers will cherish the simple brilliance of the books design.

Recipes and Traditions from the Verdant Hills of the Basque Country to the Coastal Waters of Andaluca
By Jeff Koehler Photographs by Jeff Koehler and Kevin J. Miyazaki
From the undulating, red-earthed hills of Andaluca to the vast oak forests of Extremadura, the geographic landscape of Spain is as spectacular and as varied as its food. For
example, each of its 50 provinces has passed a different version of cocido, or traditional
soup, down through generations. In Spain, correspondent-turned-resident Jeff Koehler
gathers the countrys many culinary traditions and distills them to their essence: homemade flavors prepared simply, and meant to be shared. With a thorough glossary of
techniques and 180 recipes for every meal of the day, and evocative photos of the food,
markets, orchards, fields, and waters from which it comes, this remarkable volume
provides novices and veterans of the cocina with a deeper understanding of Spanish
cuisine and culture.
Jeff Koehler is a culinary journalist and photographer who makes his home in Barcelona, Spain.
Kevin J. Miyazaki is an American photographer specializing in food and travel. He lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I have walked that long road to freedom.

I have tried not to falter. I have made
missteps along the way. But I have
discovered the secret that after climbing
a great hill, one only finds that there are
many more hills to climb. I have taken a
moment here to rest, to steal a view of the
glorious vista that surrounds me, to look
back on the distance I have come. But I
can only rest for a moment, for with
freedom comes responsibility, and I dare
not linger, for my walk is not yet ended.

You may think French cuisine is

overlooked these days, stereotyped
with the stuffy image of an old-fashioned chef laboring
r a terribly complicated dish, finished with a ton of butter.
s non! I say. French flavors and techniques neednt be out
of reach of the everyday home cook.
ris, I eat and cook everything from simple weekday suppers to big
nners. And just because they use fancy words like jus or blanchir
you have to have a Michelin-starred kitchen to cook great French

Join me on an exciting edible French adventure.
Welcome to my little Paris kitchen . . .
Cordon Bleu cookery. With only two gas rings and a

mini oven in her petit cuisine, Rachel serves up fresh
and accessible makeovers of dishes such as boeuf
bourguignon and steak frites.
Discover a new spin on much-loved classics such
as coq au vin as skewers, croque madames baked in
muffin tins, and a startling crme brle spiked with

la vie parisienne: picnicking along the Seine, chatting
up her local baker or butcher, or perched at a small
caf table with an aperitif after a day of shopping at
open-air markets and tiny spice, tea, and pastry shops.
With The Little Paris Kitchen, you will learn to take
as much pleasure in preparing the food as in eating

Start simply with easy-to-prepare Ginger Rhubarb Chutney.

Save it in pretty glass containers and this tangy-spicy sauce
makes a great gift (or eat it yourself straight from the jar!).

ADULT TRADE BACKLIST

And Other Poems by Dogs By Francesco Marciuliano
A New York Times bestseller? Oh, you know the dogs werent going to let the cats get
away with that! This canine companion to I Could Pee on This, the beloved volume of
poems by cats, I Could Chew on This will have dog lovers laughing out loud. Doggie
laureates not only chew on quite a lot of things, they also reveal their creativity, their
hidden motives, and their eternal (and sometimes misguided) effervescence through
such musings as I Dropped a Ball, I Lose My Mind When You Leave the House, and
Can You Smell That? Accompanied throughout by portraits of the canine poets in all
their magnificence, I Could Chew on This is a work of unbridled enthusiasm, insatiable
appetite, and, yes, creative genius.
Francesco Marciuliano is the author of the New York Times bestseller I Could Pee on This, and Sally Forth, an internationally syndicated family comic strip (created by Greg Howard) that appears in nearly 800 newspapers around the world. He
was also the head writer for the highly praised PBS childrens series SeeMores Playhouse. He lives in New York City.
