Maddie wont stand on with grace and patience. The poignant Instagram photos of
this beautiful dog and her offbeat poses have captured the imagination of all those who
long for a road trip with a good dog for company. Maddie on Things celebrates the
strange talent of one special dog and will resonate with any dog lover who appreciates
the quirky hearts (and extraordinary balance) of canines.
Theron Humphrey is a photographer who has lived and worked across the country, most recently in Idaho. He embarked
on a cross-country trip, meeting and photographing someone new every day as part of a Kickstarter-funded project.
He took his coonhound Maddie on his travels, and also photographed her along the way.

Star Wars: Book of Sith

Secrets from the Dark Side
By Daniel Wallace
In his quest for total domination, Darth Sidious compiled six legendary dark side texts
detailing Sith history and philosophy by Sorzus Syn, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Mother
Talzin, Darth Plagueis, and himself. Together these documents form the Book of Sith.
Over the centuries, the texts were passed among Force users who left handwritten notes
and annotations in the margins, including Darth Vader, Yoda, Mace Windu, and Luke
Skywalker, among others. Collected by acclaimed Star Wars writer Daniel Wallace and
embellished by numerous esteemed Star Wars illustrators, this volume introduces new
characters and history, and delves deeper into understanding the philosophies and
methods behind the dark side of the Force.
Daniel Wallace is the author of many books, including Star
Wars: The Essential Guide to Characters and Star Wars: The
Jedi Path. He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

dealing with childhood questions (because Im the mother . . . thats why) and strategies
for taking the edge off (now be a dear and fetch mommy her flask ), Taintor expertly
captures the funny, frantic, and honest thoughts that most moms have experienced,
with an attitude mothers everywhere will welcome.
Much emulated, never replicated, Anne Taintor first began
pairing vintage illustrations with witty sayings 25 years ago.
She lives in a 1783 farmhouse in Maine.

A Bike Snob Abroad

Strange Customs, Incredible Fiets, and the Quest for Cycling Paradise
By BikeSnobNYC
In his new book, BikeSnobNYC reaches the final frontier of cycling: riding with the family.
As his choice to take to the road with his toddler son in tow is met with bewilderment
and disapproval from onlookers and the occasional motorist, he ponders why its such a
taboo. And what does it really mean to be a bike-friendly country? Seeking answers, he
heads from the U.S. to London, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, and San Vito dei Normanni in
search of an alternative. With humorous anecdotes and his trademark biting wit and
wisdom, BikeSnobNYC takes us on his most personal narrative journey yet, and ultimately
shines a light on the growing pains that exist in any culture that asks smartphoneobsessed text-happy pedestrians, the two-wheeled, and the four-wheeled to share the road.
BikeSnobNYC (a.k.a. Eben Weiss) is the blogger behind
bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com, a massively popular cycling blog.
He also writes a monthly column in Bicycling magazine.
He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

How Economics Influences Sex and Love By Marina Adshade, PhD
The Way of the Brilliant Flirt By Ariel Kiley and Simone Kornfeld
Like Freakonomics, Dollars and Sex takes economics and

converts it into a sexy science by applying the principles of
supply and demand, and other market forces, to matters
of love, courtship, sex, and marriage. As she does in her
hugely popular blog, author Marina Adshade explores the
marketplace for sex and love using research, economic
analysis, and humor to reveal just how central the interplay
of libido, gender, love, power, and economic forces is to
the most important choices we make in our lives. Call it
Sexonomics.
Brilliant flirtation is an artthe art of openly expressing ones

truest self and thereby causing others to fall head over heels
at first flirt. In Smitten, authors Ariel Kiley and Simone Kornfeld share their secrets to mastering the art of the flirt by
showing readers that unlike the gospel preached in The
Rules, being a great flirt isnt about manipulation, compromise, or artifice. Rather, flirting is a natural by-product of
being a confident, engaged woman who cant help but
shine, causing the rest of the world to become enraptured
with her unencumbered spirit. Throughout this empowering
tote-able book, Sherpa Flashes provide insightful instructions for fun and effective exercises readers can employ
when out on the town showing off these new techniques.
Marina Adshade is a professor of economics at the University

of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada, and the author of the
blog Dollars and Sex. She lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Ariel Kiley is an actor turned yoga teacher. She lives in New York.
Simone Kornfeld lives in New York City and works full-time as a
psychotherapist.

Beer Makes Daddy Strong
Wine Makes Mommy Clever
By Andy Riley
By Andy Riley
Fatherhood is full of ups and downs, quirks and crises.

But there is always humor to be found! Featuring 60 allnew cartoons from Andy Riley, Beer Makes Daddy Strong
shows the world just how great dads can be: Daddy knows
all the best car games (Who can stay quiet the longest?),
likes to show off his scars (that he may or may not have
obtained while running with the bulls in Spain), and is a
great cook (when Spaghetti Bolognese is on the menu).
Witty and wise, this affectionate tribute is a celebration of
fatherhood and all of its joys, confusion, humor, and, of
course, beer.
From the author of the wildly popular Bunny Suicides series

comes this hilarious collection detailing all the quirks and
endearing oddities of motherhood. Mommy loves chocolate
cake (no matter how bad it is for her), has magical spit
(removes any stain!), and loves spa treatments (especially
when shes not the one paying). Whether shes admiring
her shoe collection or hiding Daddys favorite grungy T-shirt,
Mommys always there doing her best to be the greatest.
Including 60 all-new cartoons from Andy Riley, Wine Makes
Mommy Clever is an affectionate, witty tribute to moms
everywhere.
Andy Riley is the author and artist of Dawn of the Bunny Suicides
and the entire Bunny Suicides oeuvre as well as many other books.
He lives in London.

Helena Bonham Carter
A Sky Full of Kindness

By Rob Ryan
Rob Ryans papercut prose is so exquisitely intricate, it begs closer examination

and always captures a lingering eye. The story Ryan tells in this jacketed hardcover is
a celebration of love and family just as heartfelt as it is visually arresting: two songbirds
eagerly anticipate the arrival of their first child, and as they tend to their nest, they cant
help but worry about becoming parents. Its the generosity and support of their avian
friends and neighbors that confirms the world awaiting their unborn chick is indeed full
of kindness. Brimming with poetic verse, each page is a work of art that will charm new
parents and longtime fans of Ryans evocative imagery.
Rob Ryan is known as the Prince of Papercuts. He is the

A Handbook of Style and Instruction
By Jen Altman
No one loves taking pictures more than parents. But the

combination of complicated digital cameras with fast-moving
kids means no one is more flummoxed by taking pictures,
either. This easy-to-use manual offers parents the tools they
need to make beautiful, lasting, and evocative memories.
Author, photographer, and mom of three Jen Altman shares
her keen eye for the honest moment in this treasure trove
of helpful instructions and inspirational photos. From choosing a camera and learning the fundamentals of photography
to setting up great kid-friendly shots and overcoming the
challenges inherent in photographing little ones, Altmans
warm prose and lovely images sweep aside preconceived
notions and show readers how to capture the unique spirit
and personality of every child.
Jen Altman is a photographer, stylist, and writer based in Ashville,
North Carolina. She is co-author of Instant Love.

Modern Sauces is my favorite book this year. It is destined to be a classic reference for the rest of
my cooking life, on one of the most valuable but least understood facets of cooking: sauces. Martha
Holmberg brings great intelligence and lucid writing and instructions to the important craft of
sauces. She is both respectful of and illuminating about classic sauces, innovative in her thinking
about contemporary sauces, and practical in terms of everyday cooking. This is a great book.
michael ruhlman, author of twenty and ratio

Heres a book youll use every day whether youre tossing together a quick salad or creating a
dessert for a gala. Martha Holmbergs truly modern (read: simple, fast, and tasty) sauces pump up
the flavor and excitement of every dish. Think of these sauces as a culinary bag of tricks . . . I do.

These photographs of flowers taken by Andrew Zuckerman are pure. His pictures
are elegant. The images, one after another, flow like a dream of dance. The book
taken all together serves as a grand celebration of mother natures artistry. Here,
Andrew captures one of the most beautiful aspects of the cosmic play.

Andrew Zuckerman
Noted filmmaker and photographer, Andrew Zuckerman, utilizes
a multitude of platforms to produce work that is systematically
executed, conceptually based, and democratically presented.
Minimalist in nature, Zuckerman aims to create atmospheres
of clarity and neutrality to facilitate the viewers access to the
material. He has employed this distinctive approach in four
critically acclaimed multi-media projects Creature (2007),
Wisdom (2008), Bird (2009), and Music (2010) which have been
realized as books, films, and traveling exhibitions. His books
have been translated into numerous languages and published
in 18 international editions. Zuckermans 2007 short film, High
Falls, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was
selected as Best Short Film at the Woodstock Film Festival. His
work has been exhibited extensively worldwide, and has been
collected in and commissioned for public and private collections.
He lives with his family in New York City.

Flower
Andrew Zuckermans Flower is predicated on contemporizing
the well-mined terrain of botanical imagery. Culled from an
investigation of over 300 species, Zuckerman aims, as always,
to translate the essential nature of his subjects and unearth
qualities that have previously escaped scrutiny.
In the blank field of pure white light, each flower exists on its own
terms. Every aspect is made explicit. What one notices immediately
are the astonishing gradations of color and variations of form,
followed by boundless textural nuance. The effect of this precision
is at once taxonomically specific and startlingly lovely.
The images contained within transcend still life. These are flowers
in a distinct time and place, responding to the pull of light, gravity,
and water. At close range, they reveal a kind of topography for
survival, exposing the structural motivationsvascular, respiratory,
reproductivefor such arresting physical beauty.

Anne Applebaum & Danielle Crittenden
Anne Applebaums family bought Dwor Chobielin, a falling-down

Polish manor house, in 1989, as Communism was dismantled. The
house had been confiscated, abandoned, and neglected, and they
set about rebuilding it. In making her home there, Anne had to
cook with ingredients that were local, fresh, and available, and
learned how to make food that was, if not exactly traditional, in
the Polish spirit. And thus, she says, without really thinking
about it, I learned how to cook.
And so will you, following these 90 recipes for simplified Polish
classics, some familiarpierogi and cabbage rollsand perhaps
some less sowild mushroom soup or venison stew. The national
rebirth of Poland in the last two decades has meant the rebirth
of its cuisine, and Anne and fellow journalist Danielle Crittenden
friend and fellow home cookhave accordingly modernized many
of its dishes, without losing any of the centuries-old flavors.

ADULT TRADE BACKLIST

By Jeffrey Brown
In this irresistibly funny follow-up to the breakout bestseller Darth Vader and Son,
VaderSith Lord and leader of the Galactic Empirenow faces the trials, joys, and
mood swings of raising his daughter Leia as she grows from a sweet little girl into a
rebellious teenager. Smart and funny illustrations by artist Jeffrey Brown give classic
Star Wars moments a twist by bringing these iconic family relations together under
one roof. From tea parties to teaching Leia how to fly a TIE fighter, regulating the time
she spends talking with friends via R2-D2s hologram, and making sure Leia doesnt
leave the house wearing only the a skirted metal bikini, Vaders parenting skills are put
hilariously to the test.
Jeffrey Brown is the author of numerous graphic novels and
comics, including Cat Getting Out of a Bag, Cats are Weird,
and Darth Vader and Son. A lifelong Star Wars fan, he
lives in Chicago with his wife and six-year-old son.
