Leaving Mundania
Inside the Transformative World of Live Action
Role Playing Games
Lizzie Stark
“A thrilling read. Stark presents a deep and true picture of one of the
most compelling communities in contemporary leisure: the world of
live-action role play.” —Gary Alan Fine, author,
Shared Fantasy: Role-Playing Games as Social Worlds
“Rarely does a book so deftly crack open the everyday world to
reveal the riot of imagination within. With humor, intelligence, and
more than a little bravery, Lizzie Stark guides us into the vast subcul-
ture of larping, where lawyers become vampire hunters and systems
analysts turn into knights. Hilarious, honest, and enlightening,
Leaving Mundania reminds us how thin the boundaries are between
the roles we play and the selves we believe ourselves to be.”

historical reenactment, fandom, and good old-fashioned pretend—
LARP games are thriving and this book explores their multifaceted
culture and related phenomena, including the Society for Creative
Anachronism, a medieval reenactment group that boasts more than
32,000 members. The history of LARP is detailed and is shown to
have arisen from the pageantry of Tudor England and is currently

Young Lovecraft
José Oliver
Illustrations by Bartolo Torres
An alternate vision of the biography of H. P. Lovecraft, this fanciful, gothic account imagines the childhood years of an author who
would go on to write such innovative, weird fiction as the Cthulhu Mythos story cycle and the classic tome Necronomicon. Derived
from the popular webcomic, each panel in this series imagines how Lovecraft’s childhood would have occurred had he been visited by
the horrendous creatures that later appeared in his finest fiction. Fans of Lovecraft will enjoy this humorous view of a misanthropic
boy dealing with bullies and literary rejection as only a gothic can—with a large book of witchcraft and a few miscast spells.
José Oliver has been published in many Spanish comics publications, including Amaniaco and Cthulhu. Bartolo Torres is an award-
winning illustrator who has been published in magazines such as Belio, Esquitx, Proa, and Tos.

José Oliver
Illustrations by Bartolo Torres
Continuing the alternate biography of a true legend of horror, this book follows Little “Howie” Lovecraft and his ghoulish crew of
friends as they deal with the boredoms and challenges of youth, from the labors of daily homework—and the misadventures of the
golem created to do the work instead—to dealing with Siouxie, the new girl in class who just moved from Detroit. Using an expressive
style to capture the anxieties of Lovecraft’s youthful episodes, the illustrations complement the plot that is at once humorous,
macabre, and ever gothic. Each of the artistic panels are peppered with artful references to Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Rimbaud, Herman
Melville, Nick Cave, Siouxsie Sioux, and the Misfits.

mate images of rock legends in the prime of their careers and
in their youth—including Led Zeppelin, the Doors, Janis

Fifty Sides of
the Beach Boys
The Songs that Tell Their Story
Mark Dillon
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
Reflecting on the Beach Boys’ long, fascinating
history, this book tells the story behind 50 of the
band’s greatest songs from the perspective of
group members, collaborators, fellow musicians,
and notable fans. It is filled with new interviews
with music legends such as Brian Wilson, Mike
Love, Alan Jardine, Bruce Johnston, David
Marks, Blondie Chaplin, Randy Bachman, Roger
McGuinn, John Sebastian, Lyle Lovett, Alice
Cooper, and Al Kooper, and commentary from a
younger generation such as Matthew Sweet,
Carnie Wilson, Daniel Lanois, Cameron Crowe,
and Zooey Deschanel. Even hardcore fans will
be delighted by the breadth of this musical-histo-
ry volume. Plans for celebrating the golden
anniversary of “America’s band” include the
long-awaited release of 1967’s Smile—the most
famous aborted album in rock history—and con-
certs reuniting the group’s three main surviving
members. The band’s music is as influential as it was 50 years ago, and this retelling of how the iconic rock group found itself in the
annals of pop culture couldn’t come at a better time.
Mark Dillon is a freelance journalist and writer. He is the former editor of Playback, the business publication of the Canadian film
and television industries. His articles have also appeared in American Cinematographer, Globe and Mail, Hollywood Reporter, and
Maclean’s. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Liberty for permission, believing their label would be more than happy about the high-profile
exposure. “They said ‘Well, then we want in writing that The Beach Boys will reciprocate by
doing a project with you where we can use their likenesses and The Beach Boys brand name,’”
Dean recalls. “We said we didn’t have a project yet, and they said, ‘Unless you come up with
something we can get in writing, you’re not to be on the Party! record.’ Jan had just bought a
new house, and he wasn’t that interested in having them hold up any royalties, so he capitulated
and said, ‘Okay, we promise. We won’t.’”
As it turned out, Jan & Dean were working at Western Studio one night when The Beach Boys
were in the building recording the album. When Jan got wrapped up in some technical issue, the
lure of the nearby revelry proved too great for Dean. “So I said ‘I’m going down to The Beach
Boys’ studio for a couple of minutes,’ and Jan said, ‘Don’t sing on anything!’ I said ‘Don’t worry,
I won’t sing. I don’t want to get us in any trouble.’ Within three minutes I was singing. I didn’t
give a crap. I hadn’t bought a new house, so it didn’t matter to me,” he says. . . .
Upon Dean’s appearance, the group asked if he wanted to sing. Sure, he said, suggesting
“Barbara Ann,” which he knew well. . . .
Of the Party! session, Dean recalls, “We started and stopped it and changed the key because we
hadn’t really planned to do the song. We were winging it. I had to be back at my studio, so we
knocked it out in about 10 to 15 minutes, tops.”

Index
This book starts by approaching happiness in terms of individual experience. On some days in people’s
lives a happy feeling unfolded like flowering sunlight, in a kiss or a “chit-chat” or a sudden thought or a
simple feeling of warmth. By enjoying their personal accounts, we develop a new understanding of happi-
ness naturally, without looking for a master formula or any short cuts.

The Complete Dossier

“With all the books out there focusing on specific conspira-
cy theories, it’s great to find a book that is so comprehen-
sive that it literally covers them all. . . . This is a fantastic
book for anyone who’s been wondering about conspiracies,
but didn’t know where to start. One warning, however:
don’t loan the book out and expect to get it back soon.”
—Allan Handelman, The Allan Handelman Show
• Co-op available
• Author’s previous books sold more than one million copies
This compelling encyclopedic reference includes hundreds
of individuals, organizations, and events where official
claims and standard explanations of actions and events
remain shrouded in mystery. It examines the most common
subjects among conspiracy theorists, from historical topics
such as the true relationship between Jesus and Mary
Magdalene, the Roswell UFO crash, and the assassinations
of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to more cur-
rent issues such as the death of Princess Diana, FEMA’s
response following hurricane Katrina, and the recent earth-
quake and tsunami in Japan. With photographs and illustrations, a list of resources for further investigation, and a comprehensive
index for thorough cross-checking, this dossier debunks popular myths and presents the evidence on an invisible world of influence
and power. Separating fact from fiction, this reference provides gripping details and presents the information without bias and, updat-
ed and expanded, includes information on nearly 40 new subjects.

Bradley Manning, WikiLeaks, and the Biggest
Exposure of Official Secrets in American History

and Progressive
Providing insight into Bradley Manning’s background, this biogra-
phy paints a nuanced portrait that disputes his depiction in the
mainstream media. As the alleged source to WikiLeaks for the
biggest breach of military security in American history, Bradley
Manning has been inaccurately described as a combative outcast, a
bullied and embittered homosexual, and a loser grasping for notori-
ety; however, this exploration into his past depicts a young man
haunted by demons and driven by hope, forced into an ethically
fraught situation by a dysfunctional military bureaucracy. The
Manning this book uncovers is impulsive and cocky, yet idealistic
enough to follow his conscience. In leaking a vast collection of
American secrets, he thought he was doing the right thing. His story
is one of global significance, and yet he remains an enigma. Now, for
the first time, the full truth will be told about a man who, at the age
of only 22, changed the world.
Denver Nicks is a journalist who has worked in the United States,
Europe, Central America, and East Asia. He has reported on the
environment, economics, politics, and culture. His work has been
featured in AlterNet, Daily Beast, High Country News, Newsbreak,

Excerpt:
“What I kept hearing over and over and over was that he couldn’t survive, he wasn’t
going to make it through, he wasn’t going to make it out,” said [Manning’s friend]
Jason Edwards, “and I kept repeating to him ‘just get through this, this will end,
you’ll get out of there and your time of duty will be over.’” Jason interpreted Brad’s
messages [from FOB Hammer, near Baghdad] as a cry for help, and potentially suici-
dal. He would return to the computer to find messages Brad left for him while he was
away: “I’m not going to make it out, I’m not going to survive, I’m not going to get
through this,” as Jason recalled. But Jason was by now in a new relationship and
emotionally invested elsewhere. . . . For many of the people to whom he considered
himself closest, Brad Manning was out of sight, out of mind.
“The last thing I really remember Bradley saying to me,” Jason said, “was on AOL
Instant Messenger and he said ‘you’re going to hear some news that’s going to shock
the world.’ I don't recall any conversations after that.”

Citizen Lane
Defending Our Rights in the Courts, the Capitol,

Mark Lane
Foreword by Martin Sheen
“Mark Lane’s inspirational life is told here in riveting, page-turning
fashion. Lawyer, prolific author, state legislator, civil rights activist,
peace advocate, and lifelong crusader for the kind of justice the
courts and the constitution should but often fail to provide, Lane
draws together in this autobiography his many previous books as
well as his long duels with the CIA and lesser centers of power.”

Freedom Rider, friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dick Gregory’s vice-
presidential running mate, legal defense at Wounded Knee, survivor
of the Jonestown Massacre—Mark Lane has been inspiring social
consciousness, influencing history makers, and inciting controversy
for more than six decades. In Citizen Lane he tells the story of his
remarkable life, demonstrating how a single dedicated individual
can fight for the underdog, provoke the establishment, and trigger
change. From the streets to the courtroom, he has been on the front
lines in the events that shaped a generation in opposition to govern-
ment excesses and war. Icons of the American political and social
landscape appear throughout his narrative as Lane’s cohorts and
companions and as his vicious opponents. Radical leaders embraced
him; the FBI and CIA tried to destroy him. No one who dealt with Excerpt:

Excerpt:
He had been told enough about his new assignment to book six days in Whittlesun, the coastal town that
laid dubious claim to the murder-suicide. Sir Stephen Bartleben, who had made the call to him from Yard
Headquarters in London and who was the point man for liaising with Whittlesun Police, hadn’t ordered
him to block in six days but only suggested it. It probably would not take that long but, Peter knew from
experience, there was no way to tell. One presumed local competence but, then again, they had called the
Yard for assistance, not the other way round, and so there might be complications of which Peter was cur-
rently unaware. On the other hand, wife murders, and the flight of the husbands, just as often turned out
to be routine. Peter would soon know – the degree of complexity, that is. One of his virtues was patience.
André Lasker, a mechanic, had beaten his wife to death and then thrown her body off the local cliffs. Or,
perhaps she had been alive when he pushed her into the Channel. The husband then took off his clothes
and walked into the ocean. Her body had been found; his had not.
Bartleben had disclosed these simple facts over the telephone. There was never any question of Cammon
refusing the assignment, even though he was semi-retired.

Jack Fleck’s Incredible Victory over
Ben Hogan at the U.S. Open
Al Barkow
“Golf is rarely more delicious than when a hero and an under-
dog square off. In his thorough and engaging account of the
1955 U.S. Open, Al Barkow skillfully dissects the showdown
between Ben Hogan and Jack Fleck, delving deeply not only
into the play but the personalities of the two men, which were
as different as their stations in the sport when they arrived at
Olympic that fateful week.” —Bill Fields, Golf World
“I’ve been an Al Barkow fan since reading Golf’s Golden Grind
in college 35 years ago. He’s one of the game’s best storytellers
and historians.” —Jerry Tarde, editor in chief, Golf Digest
“Al Barkow knows more about golf than any man alive.”
—Rick Reilly, author, Who’s Your Caddy?
and The Life of Reilly
“If Al Barkow hit the golf ball as straight as he writes about the
game, he’d be playing the Tour.” —Lee Trevino
• Co-op available
• Publication coincides with the U.S. Open in San Francisco’s
Olympic Park, June 14–17, the site of the 1955 match
A thrilling play-by-play, shot-by-shot recounting of one of the
most famous golf games of all time, this book brings back to
life the look and feel of the entire three days of regular play and
the fourth-day playoff of the 1955 U.S. Open at the Olympic
Golf Club in San Francisco. Jack Fleck had the slimmest of resumes as a professional tournament golfer: he had never even
come close to winning on the PGA Tour. Yet Fleck got himself into a playoff with Ben Hogan—one of the greatest players in
golf history—for the game’s most prestigious title; and when Fleck defeated Hogan, it was not just surprising, it was incredi-
ble. Relying on firsthand sources, this insightful study of a poignant moment in golf history reveals the players’ mental
processes as they strategized their game and handled their emotions and offers a fascinating look at two different approaches
to competing for a golf championship: Hogan, who employed a stoic, no-nonsense approach to the game and Fleck, a practi-
tioner of hatha yoga. The book presents a critical view of Hogan’s inexplicable defeat and a convincing explanation for Fleck’s
mind-boggling victory, which was considered at the time and remains to this day one of the most unexpected outcomes in
all sports history.

The Jim Duggan Story
Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Scott E. Williams
• $30,000 marketing budget; co-op available
Offering professional wrestling fans a ringside seat into his adventur-
ous life, WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Jim Duggan recounts for the first
time key moments and legendary bouts both inside and outside the
ring. Known to millions of enthusiasts as a charismatic patriot—with
an American flag in his right hand and his signature two-by-four in
his left—Duggan here reflects on his early life as a student-athlete on
the Southern Methodist University football squad. Drafted by the
Atlanta Falcons, Duggan shares how an injury-plagued rookie season
curtailed his football ambitions and paved the way for a brighter
career in professional wrestling. Rising to fame in the Cold War–era
1980s, Duggan immediately put himself at odds with anti-American
“heels” and engaged in legendary feuds with some of the most leg-
endary names in the sport, including the Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff,
and Andre the Giant. In this who’s who of top-tier wrestling, Duggan
reveals not only the high points of championship bouts but also the
low points that occurred far away from the TV cameras and screaming
fans, including his fight against kidney cancer during the prime of his
career. With each page peppered with Duggan’s charming wit, fans
will find much to enjoy and discover about the man they once knew
only as “Hacksaw.”
Hacksaw Jim Duggan was one of the nation’s most popular profes-
sional wrestlers in the 1980s. He lives in Lugoff, South Carolina. Scott

TRIUMPH BOOKS APRIL lifeblood. And the 2009 Rumble crowd was really going strong. I used to jump in
the ring, but these days, I roll in, so I rolled in and got to my feet to find myself face
to face with The Undertaker. Boom! I hit him. Boom! I hit him. Boom! I hit him.
Undertaker said, “Give me the big one, Hack!”
I wound up and hit him, and he went down like he’d been shot! Everyone else in the
match looked my way…and then Kane came over.
Boom! He went down. HHH came over.
Boom! He went down.
Every single one of those guys fed me, and it really meant a lot to me that these big
stars would give an old-timer like me a chance to shine.
Finally, here came my old friend Paul Wight—WCW’s The Giant, now wrestling as
the Big Show. By now, I was sucking wind from all the brawling in the ring. I land-
ed some hits on him, and he did the Kamala-patented weeble-wobble. Finally, he
casually tossed me over the ropes as he yelled, “Get the hell outta here!”
I headed down the aisle, and as soon as I got through the curtain to the backstage
area, I saw Vince McMahon looking at me. He was sitting at his table where he pro-
duced the show while wearing headphones to communicate with the announcers.
He said, “Jim, come here.”
I walked over to him.
“That was a hell of a sign of respect those guys showed you tonight,” he said.
“Yes, sir, I realize that,” I said.

Excerpt:
In 1979, in the Deep South, wrestling promoter “Cowboy” Bill Watts and his top lieu-
tenants, bookers “Big Cat” Ernie Ladd and “Grizzly” Smith, made a decision that can only
be called counterintuitive. Well, that’s not entirely correct—the rest of the wrestling world,
when news of the decision trickled out, most likely called it crazy…
The Deep South wasn’t the first place you would expect a black wrestler to become a super-
star, but it had the right demographics to surprise the wrestling world. And it did just that
when Sylvester Ritter became the Junkyard Dog, and the Junkyard Dog became a superhero
to the people of New Orleans and the region. The only people who weren’t surprised were in
the front office of Mid South Wrestling. Starting with the owner and continuing through his
chief lieutenants, they were unusual characters, even by wrestling standards. They weren’t
interested in making history, and they certainly weren’t interested in fighting civil rights bat-
tles, but they did so, nonetheless. Some might call them rebels, or visionaries, or perhaps just
good businessmen, but in a wrestling context they were very close to being outlaws. As it
turns out, they were exactly the type of men necessary to turn Sylvester Ritter into the
Junkyard Dog—and the Junkyard Dog into a legend.

helps photographers navigate the transition from traditional
flash and hot lights to light-emitting diode (LED) lights, the
hottest new trend in lighting technology. The arrival of cost
effective LED lights has facilitated radical advances in photo-
graphic science and required photographers to change the
way they use lighting. This book explains how these innova-
tions have influenced conventional light theory and offers a
seamless transition from old lighting technologies to new
ones. It demystifies the process of choosing the right LED
light for projects, presents common sense methods for using
LEDs, and offers suggestions for achieving the perfect

The core goal of photography is representing subjects that
have depth and texture in a medium that inherently lacks
both those qualities, and this book shows the best way to
rise to that challenge: through the careful application and
capture of lighting. It demonstrates how to accentuate or
minimize textures, add or subtract highlights, and create or
combat shadows to showcase the subjects in the best way
and create the illusion of a third dimension in the images.
Exploring techniques for lighting portraits, still-life subjects,
nature images, and architectural shots, both studio and loca-
tion lighting are covered in detail. The book teaches photog-
raphers how to study their subjects—with all of the textures,
colors, shapes, and surfaces they have—then visualize the
image as a finished photograph before the photography actu-
ally begins. With chapters that thoroughly cover the science
of lighting and visualization, photographers can apply that
knowledge and successfully create artful images.

Excerpt:
Happiness isn't eluding you on purpose. In fact, Happiness isn’t the elusive one; you are. You’re the
one who's been hiding from Happiness behind layer upon layer of veils—and it’s precisely these
veils that get revealed to you, and in turn transformed by you, which form the “fuel” for your jour-
ney, lighting up the path as you go. Each time you receive a new insight that sheds some light on the
things standing between you and your Happiness, and each time you act on that new awareness,
you’re a step closer to your true nature.
As your sense of this grows, many wonderful things that go hand in hand with Happiness will start
to shoot up. It’s as though you’ve been carrying all these precious seeds inside you all this time and
now they’re beginning to germinate. Which of course you have. The potential for loving kindness,
compassion, inner peace, beauty, and, of course, love exists within all of us. Give them the right
conditions and they can't help but blossom.

Detroit
A Biography
Scott Martelle
• Co-op available
• Advertising in BookPage
At its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, Detroit’s status as epicenter of
the American auto industry made it a vibrant, populous, commercial
hub—and then the bottom fell out. Detroit: A Biography takes a
long, unflinching look at the evolution of one of America’s great
cities and one of the nation’s greatest urban failures. This authorita-
tive yet accessible narrative seeks to explain how the city grew to
become the heart of American industry and how its utter collapse—
from nearly two million residents in 1950 to less than 715,000 some
six decades later—resulted from a confluence of public policies, pri-
vate industry decisions, and deeply ingrained racism. Drawing from
U.S. Census data and including profiles of individuals who embody
the recent struggles and hopes of the city, this book chronicles the
evolution of what a modern city once was and what it has become.
Scott Martelle is a professional journalist who has written for the
Detroit News, the Los Angeles Times, and the Rochester Times-
Union. His previous books include Blood Passion and
The Fear Within. He lives in Irvine, California.
