Clockwork Angels
The Novel
Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available

copies, including the bestselling titles The Ashes of Worlds, The
Edge of the World, The Last Days of Krypton, and Metal Swarm
• Corresponding music album by Rush releases in May
A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope
and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel represents an
artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author
Kevin J. Anderson and the multiplatinum rock band Rush. The
newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in
Neil Peart’s lyrics that has been expanded by him and Anderson
into this epic novel. In a young man’s quest to follow his
dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and
chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steam-
punk and alchemy with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic
carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on
every aspect of daily life. The mind-bending story is comple-
mented with rich paintings by the five-time Juno Award winner
for Best Album Design, Hugh Syme.
Kevin J. Anderson is a science fiction author and coauthor with
more than 40 bestsellers, including three series of Dune pre-
quels, a handful of Lucasfilm novels for the Young Jedi Knights
series, books based on The X-Files, his own Saga of Seven Suns
series, and the novel Assemblers of Infinity. He has won or

A fantastical counterfeit that could save the kingdom

The Emperor’s Soul


Brandon Sanderson
“Elantris is the finest novel of fantasy to be written in many years.
Brandon Sanderson has created a truly original world of magic and
intrigue, and with the rigor of the best science fiction writers he has
made it real at every level.” —Orson Scott Card on Elantris
• Co-op available

• Author’s previous books have sold more than three million copies
A heretic thief is the empire’s only hope in this fascinating tale that
inhabits the same world as the popular novel, Elantis. Shai is a Forger, a
foreigner who can flawlessly copy and re-create any item by rewriting its
history with skillful magic. Condemned to death after trying to steal the
emperor’s scepter, she is given one opportunity to save herself. Though
her skill as a Forger is considered an abomination by her captors, Shai
will attempt to create a new soul for the emperor, who is almost dead.
Probing deeply into his life, she discovers Emperor Ashravan’s truest
nature—and the opportunity to exploit it. Her only possible ally is one
who is truly loyal to the emperor, but councilor Gaotona must overcome
his prejudices to understand that Shai’s forgery is as much artistry as it is
deception. Brimming with magic and political intrigue, this deftly woven
fantasy delves into the essence of a living spirit.
Brandon Sanderson is the bestselling fantasy author of Elantris and the
Mistborn Trilogy. He was chosen by Robert Jordan’s widow to complete
the epic Wheel of Time series and has authored The Gathering Storm
and Towers of Midnight in that line. He lives in American Fork, Utah.

RIGHTS: WORLD
TACHYON PUBLICATIONS DECEMBER Shai pressed her fingernail into one of the stone blocks of her prison cell. The stone gave way
slightly. She rubbed the dust between her fingers, frowning. “Limestone?” she asked softly.
“Who makes a cell out of limestone?”
Of course, the whole cell wasn’t of limestone, merely that single block. Shai had counted twen-
ty-seven different kinds of stone so far, including several she didn’t know the names of. That
would make escape tough. Very tough.
This was a cell that had been designed to hold a Forger. She knelt down beside her bunk, using
a fork—she’d bent back all of the tines but one—to carve notes into the wood of one leg. She’d
engraved a cross work pattern on another side, with numbers representing the stones of the
back wall of her cell. Without her spectacles, she had to squint to see what she’d carved there.
She wrote out, with some difficulty, the word limestone in the key representing the stone block
she’d just identified.
“Honestly,” she growled as she worked. “They sentence a girl to death. They could at least give
her a sheet of paper.”
“A sheet of paper?” The amused voice came from outside the cell. “You actually asked for
one?”
Shai jumped at the voice, standing and tucking her hand behind her back to hide the fork.
Stealing that had been unpleasant. If she lost it . . .
But it was only the court fool. The man’s hawkish face was capped by a three-pointed jester’s
crown, though his was of simple white and black, not the traditional brazen colors. He wore a
deep black coat, long and flowing, almost like one of the grand. He shouldn’t have been able to
get away with such deviations; the grand liked their fools on the silly side of ridiculous.

Excerpt from “The Mystery Knight: A Tale of the Seven Kingdoms” by George R. R. Martin:
It was almost dawn before the rain let up enough for the combat to take place. The castle yard was a morass of soft mud, glistening
wetly by the light of a hundred torches. Beyond the field a gray mist was rising, sending ghostly fingers up the pale stone walls to grasp
the castle battlements. Many of the wedding guests had vanished during the intervening hours, but those who remained climbed the
viewing stand again and settled themselves on planks of rain-soaked pine. Amongst them stood Ser Gormon Peake, surrounded by a
knot of lesser lords and household knights.
It had only been a few years since Dunk had squired for old Ser Arlan. He had not forgotten how. He cinched the buckles on Ser
Glendon’s ill-fitting armor, fastened his helm to his gorget, helped him mount, and handed him his shield. Earlier contests had left deep
gouges in the wood, but the blazing fireball could still be seen. He looks as young as Egg, Dunk thought. A frightened boy, and grim. His
sorrel mare was unbarded, and skittish as well. He should have stayed with his own mount. The sorrel may be better bred and swifter,
but a rider rides best on a horse that he knows well, and this one is a stranger to him.
“I’ll need a lance,” Ser Glendon said. “A war lance.”
Dunk went to the racks. War lances were shorter and heavier than the tourney lances that had been used in all the earlier tilts; eight feet
of solid ash ending in an iron point. Dunk chose one and pulled it out, running his hand along its length to make sure it had no cracks.

The spookiest of specters inhabit this spine-tingling anthology—com-
piled by an acclaimed editor of the horror genre—that collects the
most chilling ghost stories from the past 25 years. The human obses-
sion with the mysteries of the afterlife is explored in these supernatu-
ral tales of haunted houses, lost souls, unexplained phenomena, and
“good” neighbors. Neil Gaiman’s “Closing Time” is a troubling tale
recounted by an elderly man on a cold drizzly night in London
while Joyce Carol Oates’ “Haunted” is a chilling story of two young
girls drawn to abandoned houses and what they find in one. Francis
Wardwell is eager to inform readers that everything they think they
know about ghosts is wrong in Peter Straub’s “Hunger: An
Introduction,” and George R. R. Martin’s “Remembering Melody”
stresses the importance of keeping promises—no matter the conse-
quences. Fans of a good ghost story will find this collection the ideal
go-to for chills.

From the jungles of Tarzan to outer space and beyond, the apes in

Provocative and fantastical, this clever anthology delves into the cul-
tural fascination with—and dread of—humanity’s simian cousins. In
“Evil Robot Monkey,” a disgruntled chimp receives an implant that
makes him more cunning than his cohort and humans alike; and a
murder mystery unravels with the discovery of a hair that does not
appear quite human in the classic Poe tale, “Murders in the Rue
Morgue.” Merging steampunk with slapstick, “The Ape-Box Affair”
has a not-so-ordinary orangutan landing on Earth in a spherical fly-

Stylistically rooted in fairy tale and mythology, imperceptible
landscapes are explored in these opulent stories from a beloved
fantasy icon. There are princesses dancing with dead suitors, a
knight in love with an official of exotic lineage, and fortune’s
fool stealing into the present instead of the future. In one mes-
merizing tale, a time-traveling angel is forbidden to intervene in
Cotton Mather’s religious ravings, while another narrative finds
a wizard seduced in his youth by the Faerie Queen and returning

A Saga of Poverty, Corruption, and Murder

Review of Books, and Utne Reader
Reflecting on a sensational murder trial from the late 1930s, this
chronicle focuses upon the death of Harry Barck, a poormaster who
was granted the authority to decide who would and would not
receive public aid in Hoboken, New Jersey. Unemployed mason Joe
Scutellaro was said to have stabbed Barck in the heart with a paper
spike after the poormaster suggested that Scutellaro’s wife prostitute
herself on the streets rather than ask the city for aid. A legal team
led by celebrated defender Samuel S. Leibowitz of “Scottsboro
Boys” fame swooped into Hoboken from Manhattan to save
Scutellaro from the electric chair, arguing that the jobless man’s
struggle with the poormaster was a symbol of larger social ills. The
book details Leibowitz’s transformation of the Scutellaro trial into
an indictment of public relief as a tool for imposing social and polit-
ical control nationwide. Grappling with issues that are still vital

An exposé of the fight to end a controversial policy

Fighting to Serve
Behind the Scenes in the War to Repeal “Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell”
Alexander Nicholson
• Co-op available
• Advertising in Harper’s and OutServe magazines
Revealing the backstage strategies and negotiations that led to the
2010 repeal of the Pentagon’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) poli-
cy, this history offers a detailed, no-holds-barred account of the con-
troversial policy from an insider’s perspective. In early 2006, the
founder of the largest organization for gay and lesbian servicemem-
bers—Servicemembers United—along with fellow former military
members who had also been discharged under the DADT policy,
toured the United States, speaking about the repeal campaign at
American Legion posts, on radio talk shows, and at press confer-
ences across the South and both coasts. Surprised at the mostly posi-
tive reception and momentum for the repeal that the tour received,
Servicemembers United was suddenly propelled to the forefront of
DADT’s repeal fight. From the unique perspective of the only person
with a central role on every front in the war against DADT, this
examination exposes how various Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender (LGBT) organizations, Congress, and the White House
often worked at cross purposes, telling the public they were doing
one thing while advocating other strategies behind closed doors.
Alexander Nicholson is the founder and executive director of
Servicemembers United, the nation’s largest organization of LGBT
troops and veterans, and was the only person engaged with every
aspect of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” fight—the grassroots, the
media, the U.S. Congress, the administration, the Pentagon, and the Excerpt:

How Rod Blagojevich Talked Himself out of the
Governor’s Office and into Prison

“Revealing, shocking. . . . Superbly crafted, this is a tragic, clear-
sighted account of how Chicago’s mighty mob was brought to
heel.” —Publishers Weekly on Family Secrets
• Co-op available
• Advertising in the Chicago Reader and Harper’s magazine
Revealing previously unreleased information from the Rod
Blagojevich investigation, this narrative—written by two Chicago
Tribune reporters who spent years sifting through evidence, compil-
ing documents, and conducting more than 100 interviews with those
who have known the former governor—is the most complete telling
of the Blagojevich story. Beginning on the streets of Chicago and
wending its way into the highest reaches of government, the
Blagojevich tale brushes up against some of the nation’s most pow-
erful politicians. Detailing the mechanics of the corruption that
brought him down and profiling a fascinating and frustrating char-
acter who embodies many of the problems found in modern politics,
this account dispenses with the sensationalism that surrounded the
case to present the facts about one of the nation’s most notorious
politicians. Sentenced to 14 years in prison in December 2011, this is
the final word on who the governor was, how he was elected, how
he got himself into trouble, and how the feds took him down.

Island
How Islands Transform the World

An exploration into the cultural, natural, and historical significance
of islands, this unique book delves into what islands represent, how
different cultures view them, and even the geological roots of island
formations. Islands play a significant role in both the ancient and
modern world, and play an important part in how civilizations were
formed. The book looks at islands through the lens of the philosophi-
cal, psychological, biological, and political, as human identity has
revolved around islands ever since people first discovered them. It cel-
ebrates islands for all their worth, whether real or invented, literal or
fictitious, as a central part of the human narrative.
J. Edward Chamberlin is a professor emeritus of English and compar-
ative literature at the University of Toronto. He is a fellow of the
Royal Society of Canada, was a visiting professor at the University of
Michigan, has lectured around the world, and received an honorary
doctorate from the University of the West Indies. He is the author of

our hopes and fears, have an island counterpart, and BLUEBRIDGE FEBRUARY
some say islands are so bound into our consciousness that
they define what it is to be human. There are islands of
solitude, and islands with a social life––and not always an
easy one. Ideals of domestic life, civilized and settled, are
routinely represented in island images; and so are ideas of
the wild and the barbaric and the border between them.
And both of these can sustain the sense of community
that islands often celebrate. Much of our philosophical,
psychological, and political identity is realized in island
imagery; and so, interestingly, is our technology, from
insulin to insulation.
The history of islands is also the history of planet earth,
from its beginning as an island in space to its current
position as part of the archipelago that is our solar sys-
tem, and from the moment land first appeared above the
waters that covered the earth to the contemporary
appearance and disappearance of islands in the cycles of
climate change and seismic upheaval that make up and
break up our world.

Depending on the source, Julian Assange, the editor in chief of
WikiLeaks, is regarded as either a genius or terrorist, and this
exploration of the man and the organization seeks to find the truth.
Delving into the heart of the business of keeping and leaking secrets,
this work shows how the enterprise of WikiLeaks and Assange is
shrouded in mystery, but nonetheless, seeks to expose Assange as
an intelligence asset tasked with sustaining the global status quo.
Through careful analysis, interviews, and scrutiny of the organiza-

To restate my argument once more: “The likes of the New York

Relations (CFR) including Wikileaks’ collaborator David E. Sanger,
has proven more than once to be a propaganda tool for the US
government.” The New York Times (Bilderberg, CFR), the

past media transgressions.

Again quoting James Petras in the same source, “Washington and $24.95 (CAN $27.95)
the mass media have portrayed the US as being in the forefront of
the struggle against narco trafficking, drug laundering and political
corruption: the image is of clean white hands fighting dirty money.
The truth is exactly the opposite. US banks have developed a highly
elaborate set of policies for transferring illicit funds to the US,
investing those funds in legitimate businesses or US government
bonds and legitimizing them.”
Do we get a sense of any of this through the latest batch of

• Part of the Musicians in Their Own Words series
Though many books have chronicled Jimi Hendrix’s brilliant but
tragically brief musical career, this is the first to use his own words
to paint a detailed portrait of the man behind the guitar. With selec-
tions carefully chosen by one of the world’s leading Jimi Hendrix
historians, this work includes the most important interviews from
the peak of his career, 1966 to 1970. In this authoritative volume,
Hendrix recalls for reporters his heartbreaking childhood, his con-
cept of “Electric Church Music” (intended to wash people’s souls
and give them a new direction), and his wish to be remembered as
not just another guitar player. While Hendrix never wrote a memoir,
with new transcriptions from European papers, the African
American press, counterculture newspapers, radio and TV inter-
views, and previously unpublished court transcripts, this book gives
music fans the next best thing to a Hendrix autobiography.
Steven Roby is a respected Jimi Hendrix historian, archivist, and
author. He has written feature articles and reviews for Goldmine
and Guitar World and was editor of Straight Ahead: The
International Jimi Hendrix Fanzine and the Hendrix family’s

• Advertising in Jazz Times and Wax Poetics magazine
Revealing the warm and astonishing story of an influential jazz leg-
end, this personal narrative tells the story of a man’s journey from a
Southern upbringing to a career touring the world to play for ador-
ing fans. It tells how James Brown first discovered the Parker broth-
ers—Melvin, the drummer, and Maceo on sax—in a band at a small
North Carolina nightclub in 1963. Brown hired them both, but it
was Maceo’s signature style that helped define Brown’s brand of
funk, and the phrase “Maceo, I want you to blow!” became part of
the lexicon of black music. A riveting story of musical education with
frank and revelatory insights about George Clinton, Bootsy Collins,
and others, this definitive autobiography arrives just in time to cele-
brate the 70th birthday of the author—one of the funkiest musicians
alive—and will be enjoyed by jazz and funk aficionados alike.
Maceo Parker is a saxophone player who has contributed to the suc-

to where they were sitting I motioned for the lady, who was seated on the aisle seat, to stand
up as if I wanted to dance with her. In the middle of this commotion I realized that it would
be funnier if I left her in the aisle and took her seat. I just sat down. The place went crazy.
This woman was dancing and doing her own thing, completely unaware that I was occupying
her seat. Her date, who was now seated next to me, absolutely loved it. I mean he was having
a ball. Once she finally realized that I was in her seat and not dancing, she started laughing
as well. It was hilarious—she was finally in on the joke the entire theater had been laughing
about. After the moment was over I politely got up and made my way back to the stage, the
crowd completely in the palm of our hands. It was time for the James Brown Show.
It wasn’t until much later that I found out that the woman who’d stood up to dance with me
was Jane Rose, the famous manager of Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and that the guy
I was sitting next to, the crazy guy who’d been having such a ball, was Keith himself.

The entire riveting story of an indomitable


R&B artist

Mary Wells
The Tumultuous Life of Motown’s First Superstar
Peter Benjaminson
• Co-op available
• Author’s previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
Complete with never-before-revealed details about the sex, violence,
and drugs in her life, this biography reveals the incredibly turbulent
life of Motown artist Mary Wells. Based in part on four hours of
previously unreleased and unpublicized deathbed interviews with
Wells, this account delves deeply into her rapid rise and long fall as
a recording artist, her spectacular romantic and family life, the vio-
lent incidents in which she was a participant, and her abuse of
drugs. From tumultuous affairs, including one with R&B superstar
Jackie Wilson, to a courageous battle with throat cancer that cli-
maxed in her gutsiest performance, this history draws upon years of
interviews with Wells’s friends, lovers, and husband to tell the whole
story of a woman whose songs crossed the color line and whose
voice captivated the Beatles.
Peter Benjaminson is the author of The Lost Supreme: The Life of
Dreamgirl Florence Ballard and The Story of Motown, and is the
coauthor of Investigative Reporting. He has written numerous sto-
ries for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Detroit Free Press.
He lives in New York City.

Excerpt: Also available:


Jackie Wilson, the man for whom Mary Wells had written “Bye-Bye Baby,” had been her first crush.
“I idolized him,” she said. “I grew up with his music.” In 1965, while she and Maye James-Holler were
staying at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan, waiting for their luxury apartment to be decorated, Wells
decided to go to a Jackie Wilson concert. Since she was now an international superstar, Wilson’s han-
dlers couldn’t help noticing that she was in the audience. Since they also knew that she had written her
first song for Wilson, they would have been terribly remiss had they not invited her backstage after the
show. Wilson reminded Wells of how much he admired her singing. Wells reminded him sincerely that
she thought he was a great artist and that she had admired his music for years. Not one to miss a cue,
Wilson, who was separated from his wife, immediately invited her to dinner. She accepted, and they
went out to a fancy restaurant. He immediately heightened his appeal to Wells by educating her on
what he saw as some of the nuances of high living, a likely turn-on for the semi-fatherless girl from The Lost Supreme

When Wilson asked Mary if she would like a drink, and she suggested scotch and water, he told her a
lady always drinks Pink Ladies and Raspberry Daiquiris and ordered her one of each, so she could
choose. After she picked one and drank it, he told her, “This is as far as I ever want you to go, just a
small drink every night.” From Wells’ point of view, “he had finesse, he had . . . class. He knew the best
places to eat. He knew how to conduct himself as a gentleman.” To top it all off, over the next few
days, she said, Wilson bought her $25,000 worth of clothing.
They started dating continuously, with Wells becoming more and more enamored. After three months,
he suggested that she move into his apartment until her apartment was ready. Then the trouble began.

Far from Over


The Music and Life of Drake,
The Unofficial Story
Dalton Higgins
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
Spotlighting one of today’s most talked about and successful
musicians, this unauthorized biography showcases the Grammy-
nominated talent of hip-hop artist Aubrey Graham, aka Drake.
The account reveals the entertainer as a triple threat: a rapper, a
singer, and an actor whose journey to fame has been nothing
short of atypical. From his debut going double platinum and sell-
ing millions of copies in the United States alone to topping the
Billboard 200 charts and spawning numerous hits, this chronicle
reviews Drake’s numerous achievements, including the record-
breaking digital popularity of his sophomore release. The celebri-
ty’s acting career is also touched upon, detailing how he is
already being touted as the next Will Smith after starring in nine
seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation, one of the most con-
sistently watched drama series for teens in North America.
Conducting a journey through the life of a 25-year-old wonder,
the book travels from Drake’s childhood in Toronto to his emer-
gence as an unlikely global pop culture hero—breaking all of the
music industry and societal clichés in the process—illustrating
what makes this modern-day Renaissance man tick.
Dalton Higgins is a National magazine award-winning journalist
and is renowned as Canada’s foremost expert on hip-hop cul-
ture. He is the author of Fatherhood 4.0: iDad Applications
Across Cultures, Hip Hop, Hip Hop World, and Much Master T.

Christopher Grey follows up his successful books on light-
ing for portrait photographers with this complete guide to
professional portraiture. Successful poses are shown to be
achieved through a thorough understanding of the client’s
personality and their objectives for the image’s use. Next,
the mechanics of positioning the human body are thorough-
ly explained with special attention given to each part of the
physical form to make it look its best. Specialized tech-
niques for different styles of portrait (including head shots
for actors, senior portraits, and editorial fashion portraits)
are offered, allowing photographers to better tailor the
pose. Also covered are different approaches to directing the
subject, from very hands-on in which the photographer
refines every aspect of the pose to a more relaxed strategy
of general guidance with only occasional instruction for
selective posing refinement. Using the techniques presented
in this book, photographers will be able to more efficiently
and effectively present their subjects in flattering ways—and
in eye-catching compositions.

From magazine ads to web applications, this instructive
handbook details the ever-expanding area of product pho-
tography and discusses the unique skills required to be suc-

looking shots, the qualities of light and the rendering of
color and texture are covered while the tools to be used for
controlling those qualities is explained through a step-by-
step lighting setup. The latter half of this guide compiles
images created on actual assignments, depicting a variety of
products photographed in a range of settings. Each image is
accompanied by a discussion of the client’s intent and the
realization of those objectives. Offering procedural images,
diagrams, and set-up shots to illustrate the addition and

Emphasizing the usefulness of ambient lighting, this guide-
book gives unlimited access to the methods used by profes-
sionals. Starting with a discussion of the advantages and
challenges of working with natural light, the text then
explores the positive impact it can have on a photographer’s
creativity and how to deal with the compromises that using
available light sometimes require. Examples from this pre-
liminary section emphasize learning through experimenta-
tion. Next, the book explores camera settings including
white balance, contrast, and saturation. The authors demon-
strate that thoughtful adjustment to these settings can yield
images that more closely reflect the mood of the scene and
minimize postproduction editing. Several chapters deal with
modifying available light through the delicate use of reflec-
tors to bounce light, polarizers to cut glare, and the proper
procedure for adding neutral density filters to control
brightness. With the techniques presented, photographers
will learn to use available light to its fullest advantage.

Fully exploring the possibilities of the flash stick, a new mod-
ified light stand, this in-depth guidebook helps professional
photographers more efficiently create spectacular shots. Used
for solo shooting, the flash stick helps photographers dis-
tance the flash from the camera, allowing the creation of
images that would be impossible with on-camera or hand-
held flash—and to do so without the need of an assistant.
The manual describes proper manipulation and use of the
stick and how it not only helps cut a professional’s overhead
cost but also makes lighting easy and quick. Rod and Robin
Deutschmann include instruction on building a flash stick, as
well how to construct a “double-barrel” version for even
greater creativity. From setting up communication between
the camera and flash, to modifying the light, to balancing the
flash and ambient-light levels, all the instructions for skillful
mastery and flawless use of this exciting tool are included.

• Advertising in Artist’s Magazine (September, December)
• Authors’ previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
Artists in search of figures in intense action—flying
through the air, punching, kicking, and crouching—will
find more than 100 poses of male and female models in
28 categories of dynamic movement in the latest addi-
tion to the Art Models series. Informed by diverse
sources such as baroque art, with its moody lighting
and twisting figures, and comic books, with heroic fig-
ures in strong stances and suspicious crouches, this
visual reference will inspire any artist—comic book
artists, animators, video game designers, and illustra-
tors—interested in depicting drama. A section of time-
stopping photos of actions including jumping, falling,
or swinging a sword offers artists a series of expertly
photographed views that would be very challenging to
achieve with a studio model. Art Models 7 also pres-
ents a number of the series’ trademark stationary poses
photographed in 24-point rotation and shot in the
round. For artists who work in fine detail, close-ups
and dramatic perspectives have been added for numer-
ous positions and can be found on the companion disc
in resolutions up to 20 megapixels.

“A certain magic is demonstrated when an artist, unfettered
by perceptions of comics being for kids, uses the full paint
box of tools available to him. The wild imagery, wandering
through parties and dreamland alike, transports the reader
in an emotional way that propels the practical mind into the
escape of art.” —Publishers Weekly starred review

To lure pretty Emily, little chick Abelard sees only one solu-
tion: to catch the moon for her. So off he goes to America,
the country that invented flying machines. Armed with his
banjo and his proverb-sharing hat, he launches out on the
country roads, where he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear with
whom he will shares his plan. As opposed to dreamer
Abelard, Gaston has his feet firmly planted on the ground.
This humorous comic, where the absurd becomes poetry,
explores philosophical ideas through a simple, fanciful story.

A graphic novel that explores the nature of one’s vocation,
this book offers a look at the daily devotion to craft in two
dissimilar professions. Étienne Davodeau is a comic artist—he
doesn’t know much about the world of winemaking. Richard
Leroy is a winemaker—he’s rarely even read comics. But filled
with good will and curiosity, the two men exchange profes-
sions, and Étienne goes to work in Richard’s vineyards and
cellar, while Richard, in return, leaps into the world of comics.
Providing a true-life representation of how both professions
work, this insightful book investigates two fascinating fields,
exploring each man’s motivations and ultimately revealing
that their endeavors and aspirations are not much different.

Jewish in America
A Set of Neil Kleid Graphic Novels
Neil Kleid, Nicholas Cinquegrani, and Jake Allen
“Gangsters have always been a popular subject for graphic novels,
and Brownsville is a worthy addition to the Jewish side of the
canon.” —Hadassah Magazine
“This is an unusually rich work. Every character is well realized.
Each panel’s composition, perspective, and placement within the
continuity, and also the transitions between scenes, are done with
care. A not-to-be-missed original graphic novel.” —Booklist
• Author tour to include Washington, DC Small Press Expo

MoCCA Fest (April)
• Author’s previous books sold more than 30,000 copies
Award-winning comics writer Neil Kleid explores two aspects of
being Jewish in America in this banded set of his highly praised
graphic novels: Brownsville and The Big Kahn. Brownsville is set in
1930s Brooklyn and follows the intertwined lives of Jewish gangsters
Allie Tanennbaum, Abe Reles, and scores of hoods organized by
Louis Lepke Buchalter as they undertake the deadliest hit in Mafia
history, “Murder, Inc.” As they escape the mean streets and lonely
tenements of East New York and make themselves into the most dan-
gerous men in America, they eventually send their best friends and
closest allies up the river. In The Big Kahn, Rabbi David Kahn has
lived a 40-year lie: he is not, nor has he ever been, Jewish. At his
funeral, the “rabbi’s” brother reveals the truth, forcing the Kahn fam-
ily to struggle with grief and betrayal as their congregation questions
their very faith. A drama about loss, lies, belief, and renewal, this
graphic account of a family secret explores the very nature of faith.
Neil Kleid is a Xeric Award–winning cartoonist and the author of the
graphic novels The Big Kahn, Brownsville, and Ninety Candles. He
lives in Teaneck, New Jersey. Nicholas Cinquegrani is an Argentinean
comic artist presently studying at the School of Visual Arts in New
York City. Jake Allen is a comic artist and graphic designer. He lives
in Exeter, New Hampshire.

The reality of death’s daily


life is much funnier than
death itself

R.I.P.
Aitor I. Eraña
There’s plenty of life in St. Stool
Cemetery—in fact, its residents are
rather busy. There’s a zombie trying to
escape his tomb, a vampire looking for
a job, a teenage ghost-girl dreaming of
returning to life, and all the while, the
Grim Reaper is searching for a little
affection. Drawn in a bold style that
complements the big personalities of
the characters, these humorous strips
will endear fans of comics to each story

Stool Cemetery as a place worth revisit-
ing. This work is in association with

The Year of the 4 Emperors


Marcos Prior
To avoid the Y2K problem, the years don’t have numbers, they

ed Nobel laureate in economics and possible Republican can-
didate for the U.S. presidency. But how does all this affect Juan
López, an unemployed resident in Barcelona? Elegantly drawn
and rendered in beautiful, rich watercolors with a pop culture
aesthetic, this imaginative, absurdist narrative is told with
dark humor and explores apocalyptic themes, showcasing
Marcos Prior’s unique voice and singular vision as an artist.

special as everyone else

Downtown
Noël Lang

Blo has a girlfriend, a colorful imagina-
tion, a certain favorite record by Petula
Clark that he carries with him every-
where, and a unique perspective on
life. Blo also has Down syndrome, but

him from living large. This charming

group of friends welcomes readers into
the distinctly special outlooks and
anecdotes of special needs individuals.
Based on the author’s uncle with Down

to the normalization of individuals
troubled with the negative connota-

Humorous tales of city living from a celebrated European illustrator

Recounting Streets
Juan Berrio
Composed of urban vignettes, the illustrated tales presented give a whimsical and humorous portrayal of a city. A parade of familiar
characters comes in and out of focus through the storytelling—dog walkers, doormen, shopkeepers, cell-phone obsessed passersby—to
paint a relatable picture of modern living. Such stories as a man crossing paths with a lamppost, a girl watering potted plants in a win-
dow, and a young man who finds an interesting advertisement in the street are told through vibrant color illustrations with plenty of
visual puns and fanciful humor. This work is in association with Diabolo Ediciones.

and the strong left hook of a blue-collar kid from Queens, this guide
defends its faith with good humor and sincere respect at every turn
while illustrating the difficulties modern believers face.

Herman Melville’s short story “Bartleby,” a study of the THE CROSSROAD PUBLISHING COMPANY/CROSSROAD SEPTEMBER
grave effects of overwork, depicts the life of a young man
employed by a law firm as a copyist or scrivener. As an
employee Bartleby is punctual, industrious, and steadfast,
laboring diligently long hours day and night at his desk to
the great satisfaction of his employer. He embodies all the
virtues of the Protestant work ethic that Benjamin Franklin
acknowledged in his autobiography, qualities like “silence,”
“order,” “frugality,” “resolution,” and “industry”. However,
despite Bartleby’s work ethic, the lawyer who oversees his
work regrets Bartleby’s silent, private, morose disposition:
“I should have been quite delighted with his application,
had he been cheerfully industrious. But he wrote on silently,
palely, mechanically.” Isolated by a screen from his fellow
employees, Bartleby copies, copies, and copies without
protest, complaint, or weariness.

Knit the Nativity


Jan Messent
• Author’s previous books sold more than
15,000 copies
Taking advantage of a variety of
sparkling and novelty yarns, this knitting
project book delightfully illustrates a
crafted construction of the nativity scene.
With expert patterns and instructions,
the scene is small enough to be manage-
able yet large enough for many knitters
to be involved in completing the job
making this a great project for a school,
church, knitting group, family, or com-
munity. The older, more experienced
knitter can rise to the challenge of con-
structing the Wise Men’s ornate cloaks
while young fingers can contribute by
making the stable wall by simply wrap-
ping yarn. With full patterns, diagrams,
drawings, and photography, Mary,
Joseph, the infant Jesus and manger, and
various other elements all come to
vibrant life for a beautiful nativity scene
to be enjoyed for years to come.

Sew Jelly Roll Quilts & Gifts


Carolyn Forster
The quilting projects in this book can be made using a jelly
roll—a roll of approximately 40 standard precut fabric
strips—with just a little extra fabric for the edging and
backing. More than just a project book, it contains infor-
mation on materials and equipment, basic stitching tech-
niques, and instructions on layering and basting, quilting
by hand and machine, binding, labeling, and laundering.
There’s even a section on cutting fabric strips for those
who prefer to use their own fabric choices rather than a
precut jelly roll. Each of the nine projects consist of a quilt
design together with a gift item made in a coordinating
fabric, full instructions for each quilt, and step-by-step
photographs for creating the accompanying gift, from styl-
ish bags and a cushion to pot holders and key fobs.
Carolyn Forster has taught patchwork and quilting in both

More Than 20 Projects to Make
Steve Tomashek
• Co-op available
A hip beginner’s guide to one of world’s most relaxing,
inexpensive, and rewarding hobbies, this handbook puts
a modern spin on an ancient craft by teaching readers
how to whittle whimsical miniature creatures. With just a
sharp knife, a little practice, and the tiniest block of
wood, anyone can make a charming carving in less than
an hour. Led by an award-winning carver and artist, this
manual takes readers through the basics, demonstrating
how to carve root vegetables in order to minimize the
danger of accidents; readers will create a simple turnip
bear or a carrot mouse. As confidence builds, readers
graduate to wood, and work through step-by-step
instructions accompanied by photographs, enjoying
increasingly polished results as they refine their tech-
nique. Including easy-to-use templates and sources for
tools and materials, readers will learn how to sand, paint,
and decorate their tiny carvings, eventually creating a fox,
an owl, a horse, a hen, and even a forest or farmyard set-
ting for their miniature menagerie.
Steve Tomashek is an artist, photographer, and master
carver of miniatures. He is the author of the website
Miniature Menagerie, which features animated films of
his whittling and his collection of wooden animals. He

Kydd Sea Adventures series


Julian Stockwin
• Co-op available
• Author’s previous books sold more than 100,000 copies
Julian Stockwin is a retired teacher and educational psychologist, and a former lieutenant commander of the Royal Navy Reserve.
He entered the British Navy at age 15 and was eventually named a Member of the British Empire. He is the author of the Kydd Sea
Adventures series.

A high-sea adventure set in


Latin American waters

Betrayal
A Kydd Sea Adventure
"This well-crafted naval adventure by a seasoned lieutenant
commander of the British navy balances historical perspective
with the excitement of a full broadside assault. Comparable to
C. C. Humphreys’s Jack Absolute series and the naval tales of the
great Patrick O’Brian, Stockwin’s engaging novel reveals the
author’s acumen for the history and spirit of the time."
—Library Journal on Conquest
Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Thomas
Kydd’s daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham as
South America’s Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular
unrest. Rumors of a treasure hoard of Spanish silver spur him to
assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on
the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate in Buenos Aires.
Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the
British invasion force wins a battle against improbable odds, tak-
ing the capital and the silver. But the uprising that promises the
end of Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see dark
conspiracies behind the invader’s actions. Now Kydd’s men must
face resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies. Can they
save themselves and their prize?

One man’s experience during the final Japanese


naval offensive of WWII

Tommy
A World War II Novel
William Illsey Atkinson
• Co-op available
Based on interviews conducted with the author’s father, this
fictionalized account brings to life the true character of a man
involved in the battle of Ten-Go, a Japanese kamikaze naval
offensive. In the aftermath of the battle for Okinawa, Tommy has
utterly changed, just like everyone else on board the USS Bataan.
As a lieutenant commander and expert navigator, Tommy has
long understood the horrors of this war and he has spent his mili-
tary career battling both the enemy and the brass. With mathe-
matical genius he has challenged military procedure, refined
naval ballistics, and exposed flaws in U.S. antiaircraft firing strat-
egy. And although the battle of Ten-Go resulted in an Allied vic-
tory, the death toll was high and Tommy’s best friend is among
them. This is the story of a brilliant though reluctant warrior, a
man who would go on to great success in industry—but would
gladly give that success up to change the mind of one kamikaze.
William Illsey Atkinson is the author of Nanocosm and
Prototype. His nonfiction books have been short-listed for the
National Business Book Award and named to Executive Book
Summaries’ Top 30 Books list. He lives in Toronto.

Excerpt:
A pilot may be wounded, with his plane on fire, out of fuel, and on glide descent. Even on a clear day, freak downdrafts
may catch a plane in its final approach and swat it earthward. Also, the runway may be uneven. Asphalt has potholes,
cracks, and humps; grass fields that look as smooth as golf greens hide irregularities that can tilt a wheel or snag a tail-
hook. A gopher hole can flip a plane. Even in the astonishingly up-to-date, brand-spanking-new world of 1943, in the
best land airports of the most advanced nation on the planet, bringing an aircraft safely to Earth is not for the faint
of heart.
Landing on a carrier is ten times worse. Winds are wonkier, the target strip is the size of a church roof. Spume may blind
you without warning.
Even in calm seas a carrier’s flight deck pitches, yaws, and rolls relative to a plane’s approach: it’s a landing strip balanced
on a beach ball. But for everyone from executive officer to damage crew, a heavy-seas recovery is the stuff of nightmares.
Human brains and bodies, even young ones at a pitch of mental and physical perfection, were not designed for this.
The last few seconds of a recovery are the most critical. Touch down on land and you generally stay down; this is less cer-
tain on a carrier deck. Your sink rate could be a perfect two feet per second, a gossamer caress ashore, and that gimballed
deck could suddenly soar skyward on a rogue wave and smack into you at another twenty feet per second. The sum of
these vectors is like jumping off the roof of a two-story house; it knocks your nuts into your nose. Nor need you stay
down even then. You can bounce. That’s okay if you bounce nose-up. Your tailhook usually—usually—stays on the arrest-
ing wire and brakes you, though your nuts then leave your nostrils with a pleasant popping sound. But if you bounce
nose-down and your tailhook rips away from the wire: then, flyboy, you are fully fucked. There’s a steel-rope safety net at
the far end of the recovery area, but when it has to field a million foot-pounds of runaway machinery it’s as useful as a
daisy chain. Get ready to splash, ace. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.

Presenting the thrilling culmination of the epic sci-fi series, this
novel revisits a world where global economic activity is carried
out in a virtual-gaming realm. A new blood-transmitted virus has
become a black market staple due to its rejuvenating effects,
forcing infected “Eternals” into a tightly knit underground where
they must hack the “V-net” for food and shelter. When the leader
of the Eternals, Helena Sharp, begins to lose her immortality, she
flees to an old lover for strength and solace as the entire Eternal
community is thrown into chaos. Meanwhile, the young clone
Niko discovers the truth about her gifted daughter, who carries
the future heritage of humanity in her augmented DNA. This
knowledge forces Niko to confront her progenitor, Phillip Davis,
with a litany of experimental abuse—only to discover that
Phillip has fully integrated his persona with the AI Beast who
controls V-space. With the aid of the charismatic avatar
Philomena, he embarks on a program of manipulation and con-
trol that will redefine the boundaries of death and consciousness.
Advancing the postcyberpunk genre into new territory, this com-
pelling series delves into intriguing questions of religion, God,
family, and the universe’s central source of life.

A record-setting MMA fighter reveals


his turbulent path to glory

Uncaged
My Life as a Champion MMA Fighter
Frank Shamrock and Charles Fleming
Foreword by Mickey Rourke
• Co-op available
• Authors’ previous books sold more than one million
copies combined
Before Frank Shamrock became known professionally as “The
Legend”—winning almost every mixed martial arts title in exis-
tence—he endured a childhood marred with abuse, neglect, and
molestation that led to an equally troubled young adulthood.
This riveting book tells his whole story: his neglect as a child by
his hippie mother and absentee father, his salvation under the
foster father who took him in when no one else would, his des-
perate act of armed robbery and subsequent incarceration in
state prison, and his eventual rebirth as a cage fighter who
would go on to dominate the entire sport for the next two
decades. Detailing his fights inside and outside of the ring, it dis-
cusses the people and events that enabled him to become a
champion as well as his problems with the Ultimate Fighting
Championship and the reasons behind his retirement. With eye-
opening depictions of the world of mixed martial arts fighters
and refreshing candor, this thrilling story of sex, violence, crime,
and redemption reveals the numerous pitfalls a famous fighter
encountered in his life and how he successfully overcame them
to become a champion in every sense of the word.
Frank Shamrock was the undefeated mixed martial arts (MMA)
champion for 10 years and is the only person to win a title in all
three major North American fight promotions (UFC, WEC, and
Strikeforce). He has worked as an NBC sports announcer, is an
owner of fight venues, and created his own line of MMA train-
ing gyms. He is the author of Mixed Martial Arts for Dummies.
He lives in Los Angeles. Charles Fleming is a writer, an adjunct
faculty member of the University of Southern California, and a
reporter whose writing has been published in such publications
as Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, and Vanity Fair. He is the
coauthor of several books, including The Goomba Book of
Love, The Goomba Diet, A Goomba’s Guide to Life, My
Lobotomy, and Three Weeks in October. He lives in Los
Angeles. Mickey Rourke is an actor, a screenwriter, and a retired
boxer. He has acted in such films as Angel Heart, Iron Man 2,
and Sin City, and he won a Golden Globe Award in 2009 for his
lead role in The Wrestler. He lives in New York City.

of tragedy and crime, this first autobiography of professional
wrestler and TV commentator Booker T. Huffman details his life
before celebrity status in the ring. Beginning with Booker T’s single-
parent upbringing after the passing of his father, this powerful
account reveals the gritty reality of his formative years—from the
gruesome accident Booker T witnessed at the age of 13 that led to
his mother’s death and his subsequent life of abject poverty as an
orphan in urban Houston to years of reckless drug use, dealing, and
violence that culminated in a five-year prison sentence for robbery.
With engaging candor Booker T writes of his refusal to allow his
years of crime to cloud his future and his decision to take responsi-
bility for his life and make a positive impact in his community. This
intimate profile chronicles his transition from absentee father to
locating his child in foster care and taking custody, events that led
Booker T to pursue a better life and a career with the WWE by
attending World Wrestling Alliance training camp. It also sheds
insight into his relationship with his seven siblings, including his
brother and eventual tag team member Lane “Stevie Ray” Huffman.

The first autobiography from one of


WWE’s most recognizable stars

Superfly
The Jimmy Snuka Story
Jimmy Snuka and Jon Chattman
Foreword by Rowdy Roddy Piper
Introduction by Mick Foley
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
Focusing on the superstar who single-handedly influenced the devel-
opment of sports entertainment, this autobiography highlights the
legacy of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) icon Jimmy Snuka.
The wrestler’s legendary top-rope maneuvers, innovative high-flying
style, and unprecedented aerial ability made him the most popular
competitor in WWE. This fascinating account relates how a native of
the Fiji Islands was at the center of two of wrestling’s most talked-
about moments: the night Snuka leapt from the top of the 15-foot
cage—only to miss his opponent and consequently lose the match—
and the night Rowdy Roddy Piper smashed a coconut over Snuka’s
head during a segment of Piper’s Pit in 1984. Exposing the amazing
life of this WWE Hall of Fame member in detail, this record presents
the ups and downs of a wrestler who grew to be a key figure in the
expansion of the company and all professional wrestling.
Jimmy Snuka is a semiretired Fijian professional wrestler and actor
who competed for several promotions in the 1970s and 1980s. He is

“If you have a keen interest in the nature of professional
wrestling and a desire to learn about the real details, nuances,
and practices that make the art form work, this is the best book
written on the subject.” —WrestlingObserver.com
on Drawing Heat the Hard Way
• Co-op available
No-holds-barred, honest, and objective, this is a definitive look
at the greatest pro wrestlers who ever stepped through the ropes.
Blending the old and the new and delving into what made these
50 remarkable performers the best in their sport, this guide illus-
trates their contributions to the massively popular spectacle of
the wrestling world. The antidote to the marketing-motivated
claims made by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is pro-
vided here, sweeping aside the corporate profit motive of listing
standouts who can sell DVDs and dolls and instead shooting
from the hip, revealing who sincerely belongs among the cream
of the crop. The complexity of choosing—and ranking—the 50
finest ever from a strong group of talented candidates also spins
a secondary tale about the evolution of pro wrestling and how
this unique sport operates. Revealing these stars’ compelling sto-
ries in detail, this collection adds up to an entertaining and
enlightening description of a monumental business through the
history of its legends.

• Co-op available
The industry’s longest-running publication for baseball ana-
lysts and fantasy leaguers, the 2013 Baseball Forecaster,
published annually since 1986, is the first book to approach
prognostication by breaking performance down into its
component parts. Rather than predicting batting average, for
instance, this resource looks at the elements of skill that
make up any given batter’s ability to distinguish between
balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the
ball, and what happens when he makes contact—reverse
engineering those skills back into batting average. The result
is an unparalleled forecast of baseball abilities and trends for
the upcoming season and beyond.

Tom Brady vs. the NFL


The Case for Football’s Greatest Quarterback
Sean Glennon
Foreword by Pat Kirwan
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
Showcasing one of professional football’s best players, this book
spotlights the life and career of gridiron great Tom Brady. More than
just a biography, it relates Brady’s story while also establishing his
prominent place in NFL history. By examining his skills and statistics
in a variety of categories and comparing him to other great quarter-
backs—including Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Bart Starr, Johnny
Unitas, Roger Staubach, and more—the guide makes a strong case
for Brady as football’s best signal caller. Along the way, his best
moments as a Patriot are revisited, from championship seasons and
his favorite receivers to his relationship with legendary coach Bill
Belichick. With detailed sidebars on Brady’s celebrity status, fashion
sense, much-talked-about hair, and supermodel wife, this is a must-
have for faithful New England fans and pro football buffs alike.
Sean Glennon is the author of Game Changers: New England Patriots;
The Good, the Bad & the Ugly New England Patriots; and This Pats
Year: A Trek Through a Season as a Football Fan. He lives in Florence,
Massachusetts. Pat Kirwan is the cohost of Movin’ the Chains on

Excerpt:
I knew Sean Glennon was on to something the first time I talked to him.
I don’t mean that I absolutely agree with Sean’s conclusions. Like I told him, I can say for sure that Tom
Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and if you put my feet to the fire, I might have to say he
is the greatest of all time. But I also happen to have a lot of respect for Peyton Manning. And, of course, you
can’t even have the conversation without talking about Joe Montana and Bart Starr. That’s fine. I don’t need
to agree with Sean a hundred percent, and I don’t think he needs me to. What I liked about what Sean was
doing wasn’t really about where he was going; it was about how he was getting there.
Sean contacted me looking for a quote he could use in his book. He introduced himself as someone who
had written some books about the Patriots, and said he was writing one about Brady being the greatest
quarterback ever. He was looking for some kind of comment about Tom that he could share with readers.
That seemed easy enough. Then we talked and I asked Sean how he was going about this thing. That led
to a conversation about football history. We talked about guys like Montana and Starr. We also talked
about Dan Marino and Otto Graham. Sean told me he was comparing Tom to those guys and a bunch of
others — and he told me that way he was doing things wasn’t about tearing down any of those other great
quarterbacks. He was putting everyone’s accomplishments out there and leaving most of the decisions to
the readers. He was making a case for Brady, but doing it in a way that was respectful to these other guys
who have made huge contributions to the league and the game.
I knew right then that the guy was writing a book that I would want to read and endorse.

The story of Chicago’s number 34

Walter & Me
Living in the Shadow of Sweetness
Eddie Payton, Paul T. Brown, and Craig Wiley
• Co-op available
Widely regarded as one of the best football players to ever tie on a
pair of cleats, Walter Payton led a fascinating and ultimately tragic
life. Told in the voices of those who knew him best, this biography
of the Chicago Bears legendary running back tells the inspiring
account of the reward of hard work and is an uplifting testament
to the power of the human spirit. It is a story of inspiration,
redemption, and the deep passion two brothers felt for the sport
of football. More than a decade after the untimely death of Walter
Payton, his older brother recalls the moments they shared and the
continuing sting of the loss of a legend. This glimpse into Payton’s
life doesn’t sugarcoat the issues or glorify the late superstar, but
rather it addresses the subjects of suicide, drug abuse, and infidelity
head-on with intimate knowledge of the facts. In this candid take,
Walter’s older brother discloses the true life of man simply known
as “Sweetness.”
Eddie Payton is the older brother of Walter Payton. He is the golf
coach at Jackson State University and a former NFL player. He lives
in Jackson, Mississippi. Paul T. Brown is a widely published wildlife
photographer and writer. He is the author of True Boo: Gator
Catchin’ Orangutan Boxin’ and My Wild Ride to the PGA Tour.
He lives in Brandon, Mississippi. Craig Wiley is the founder and
literary agent for the Craig Wiley Agency. He is a member of the
associate faculty at Indiana University–Indianapolis and teaches
on American politics and the United States legal system. He lives
in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Gospel of Thomas


A Spiritual Interpretation for the Aquarian Age
Rev. Daniel Chesbro and Rev. James Erickson
• Co-op available
This companion to The Order of the Melchizedek offers profound
and inspired insights into the sayings of Jesus as recorded in the
Gospel of Thomas and brings their message into today’s world and
emerging consciousness. Through a unique combination of artistic
renderings and a spiritually inspired interpretation of each of the
114 sayings, this guide offers fresh perspectives into the teachings
of Jesus and their relevance. From “Let him who seeks continue
seeking until he finds” to “I have cast fire upon the world, and see,
I am guarding it until it blazes,” this narrative links the intentions
of the original text to modern day prophets such as P. M. H.
Atwater and Stephen Hawking and the sparks behind Arab Spring
and the Occupy Movement for those searching for divinity in the
current moment.
Rev. Daniel Chesbro is an ordained minister in the Order of
Melchizedek, a teacher, and a lecturer. He trained at the Andover
Newton Theological School and at the Crozer Seminary and
received a master’s in theology from Colgate Divinity School. He is
a former head of A School for the Prophets and a former host of
the television show The Open Door. He lives in Conesus, New
York. Rev. James Erickson has the gift of clairsentience and is a
psychic and an aura reader as well as a healer. He was ordained
into the Order of Melchizedek in 1993. He lives in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. They are the coauthors of The Order of Melchizedek.

The Hawaiian Forgiveness Ritual as the Key
to Your Life’s Fulfillment
Ulrich E. Duprée
• Co-op available
Powerful yet concise, this revolutionary guide summarizes the
Hawaiian ritual of forgiveness and offers methods for immedi-
ately creating positive effects in everyday life. Exploring the con-
cept that everyone is deeply connected—despite feelings of
singularity and separation—four tenets are disclosed for creating
peace with oneself and others: I am sorry, Please forgive me, I
love you, and Thank you. Offering practical exercises, this simple
four-step system encourages readers to focus on difficult conflicts
within personal relationships and heal the past. By addressing
these issues, owning one’s feelings, and accepting unconditional
love, unhealthy situations transform into favorable experiences.
Final chapters delve into love relationships, health and career,
and healing the planet.
Ulrich E. Duprée is a spiritual seeker, a teacher, and a leader of
seminars. He has studied and trained in yoga, philosophy, and
metaphysics, and he lives in a Hindu monastery where he studies

Excerpt:
The Story of Ho’oponopono
The roots of Ho‘oponopono reach far back into the past, thou-
sands of years back, perhaps even to the time of Atlantis,
Lemuria and the High Vedic Culture. Ho‘oponopono belongs to
a system of ancient Hawaiian teaching; called the ‘Huna.’ ‘Hu’
means ‘knowledge,’ and ‘na’ represents ‘wisdom,’ and the
guardians of this ancient teaching are called ‘kahunas’–Huna
experts. Only to know something without then using it really
makes nonsense of it, because wisdom is revealed by what a per-
Sample interior images son does, not by what they know. Ho‘oponopono also comes
alive when it is used, and so I invite you into this little book and
thereby to walk in a world full of wisdom, wonder and beauty.
A world whose existence you have always suspected, but could
never grasp until now.

greater maturity as a country.
Our political process tends to drive people towards fixed
identities. Political candidates evolve into ever-more perfect
expressions of their party’s values as they respond to the pres-
sures of voters and party. Social networks attract people of
the same values and reinforce their beliefs. Once we hold
rigidly to one identity, our growth can be slowed or even
arrested. We stop valuing other perspectives and privilege our
values over others. To navigate this critical crossroads in his-
tory, we need people with a more open-ended sense of values
and identity who are able to listen to those with different
opinions and work towards collaboration and synergy.

A better way to think about aging—and what to do


about it

Live Young, Think Young,


Be Young
. . . At Any Age
Donald M. Vickery, MD, Larry Matson, EdD,
and Carol Vickery, RN, MSN
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
While there are plenty of books offering advice about how to age,
none takes the crucial step back to challenge how people think
about aging—until now. The Aging Syndrome, the core idea in this
book, explains the aging process by using three pillars: intrinsic
aging, the aging process that no one understands; disuse, both physi-
cal and mental; and chronic disease processes, which begin in child-
hood or sometimes in the womb. Using practical steps and plain
language, this volume is the only guide needed for developing a plan
for growing older. By presenting a better way to think about aging,
it reveals what everyone can do to live a longer life.
Donald M. Vickery, MD, was a pioneer in the self-care and wellness
movement who wrote a number of health books and founded several
centers to promote healthy living. A graduate of Harvard University
and Harvard School of Medicine, he was one of the first U.S. doc-
tors to make a crusade of teaching patients to take a more active
role in maintaining their health. He is the author of many books,
including Life Plan and Take Care of Yourself, and in 2003 he was
awarded the American College of Preventative Medicine Lifetime
Achievement Award. Larry Matson, EdD, has performed National

at life after cancer

Picture Your Life


After Cancer
The New York Times
• Co-op available
• Advertising in the New York Times
The wide-ranging impact that cancer can have on a
life in the months and years after the last doctor’s
appointment is documented in photos in this mean-
ingful collection. In 2010, the New York Times
asked readers who had survived cancer to send in
their photos and answer the question, “How is
your life different after cancer?” and the resulting
images and essays are displayed in this book. The
photos depict not only the new adventures and
overjoyed faces of survivors but also the honest
pictures of loss, confusion, and sadness that reveal
the “not always happy” life after survival. The
words that complement the images contain stories
of hope, trepidation, concern, and renewal, as well
as sage advice on living a normal life as the specter
of cancer recedes. Also included in the book are
entries from relatives and spouses who cared for
loved ones who received a cancer diagnosis, some
of whom did not survive their battle with the dis-
ease. This moving look at life after cancer will help
other survivors and patients realize that they are
not alone.

Excerpt: Also available:


It’s hard to deny the energy and momentum of the movement toward
making or repairing things instead of buying them. It seems small, but
for those of us who can afford to buy interminable versions of the same
products, the choice to fix something instead of throwing it away repre-
sents a huge paradigm shift. Choosing to preserve is about realizing that
the planned obsolescence and semi-disposability built into today’s prod-
ucts is a marketing plan, and not an unavoidable part of life. It’s conven-
ient for manufacturers to sell a $5 shirt with buttons that magically fall
off after two washes. But it’s not convenient for us, and we don’t have to
put up with it if we don’t want to.

The Wine Trials 2012


Fourth edition
Robin Goldstein, Alexis Herschkowitsch, and Tyce Walters
• Co-op available
• Previous edition sold more than 50,000 copies
Originating in the controversial findings that revealed that the average
wine drinker prefers the taste of cheaper wine over the more expensive
bottles, this essential guide to affordable wine consumption demon-
strates the happy truth—it doesn’t cost a fortune to fill a glass with a
pleasing drink. Updated in a new edition, this buying manual reveals
the widely available wines under $15 that beat out wines costing up to
ten times as much. The full-page reviews of 175 new wines are based
on recent blind tastings of the latest vintages and include witty, unpre-
tentious discussions of each wine’s flavors and aromas with a photo of
the bottle for easy identification. Also included is an updated version of
the “blind tasting manifesto,” which explains how the power of price-
based expectations dominates the usual experience of wine. The book
also challenges the validity of glossy wine magazines’ 100-point numer-
ical ratings and explains how to beat the placebo effect to unlock the
true palate. While eradicating common myths about wine and
the insecurities surrounding it, and opening the path to new wine expe-
riences, this guide makes an ideal resource for those who wish to be
everyday connoisseurs while keeping a smart budget or who find the
world of wine intimidating.
Robin Goldstein has written for more than 30 Fodor’s travel guides and
has contributed to the blog Freakonomics. He is educated in neuro-
science, philosophy, and law and has obtained certificates from the Also available:

Fearless Critic Restaurant Guides
Robin Goldstein
• Co-op available
• Author’s previous books sold more than 100,000 copies
Fearless Critic restaurant guides offer brutally honest reviews from undercover chefs and food nerds dining incognito and are totally
supported by user funding rather than paid advertisements. The Fearless Critic is utterly unique in its candor, its rigor, its irreverent
lack of deference to the sacred cows, and its devotion to finding a city’s best food, wherever it may lie. Each review is a full page long
and includes a food rating out of 10, a feel rating out of 10, and practical information about the restaurant. The handy reference sec-
tion lists all restaurants by cuisine, neighborhood, and special features and offers a specific guide for vegetarians. More than
just entertaining reads, these are essential references for anyone who eats out.
Robin Goldstein is an author and a travel writer. He is the coauthor of The Beer Trials and the 2010, 2011, and 2012 editions of The
Wine Trials. He is a contributor to the New York Times’ Freakonomics blog and has written for more than 30 Fodor’s travel guides.

Skygirls
A Photographic History of the Airline Stewardess
Bruce McAllister and Stephan Wilkinson
• Author tour to include Denver, New York City, and Washington, DC
A high-flying tribute to the lives, careers, and legacies of stewardesses, this
book answers questions and debunks misconceptions about the first ladies of
the sky—from the first days of flight to today’s mammoth Airbus 380s.
Featuring more than 200 photographs, which document the early days of the
job when flight attendants were registered nurses and had to fit certain height
and weight criteria, this work showcases how airlines have changed their con-
cept of service over the years. By weaving historical images and documents
with firsthand experiences, this book stands as a testament to the immense and
lasting influence that stewardesses have had on the world’s airlines.
Bruce McAllister is a writer, photographer, publisher, and pilot with more
than 5,100 hours of flight time. He is the author of DC-3, Wings Above
the Arctic, and Wings Over the Alaska Highway. He lives in Boulder,

by user funding rather than paid

utterly unique in its candor, its rigor,
its irreverent lack of deference to the
sacred cows, and its devotion to
finding a city's best food, wherever it
may lie. Each review is a full-page
long and includes a food rating out
of 10, a feel rating out of 10, and
practical information about the
restaurant. The handy reference
