K Is for KnifeballAn Alphabet of Terrible Advice • By Avery Monsen and Jory John

From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are dead. (more than 175,000 copies sold) and in the humorous vein of Go the F**k to Sleep comes a laugh-out-loud collection of bad advice that turns the children’s alphabet book on its head. Adorable illustrated characters lead readers down a path of poor decision-making, and alphabetical, rhyming couplets offer terrible life lessons in which O is for opening things with your teeth, F is for set-ting Daddy’s wallet on fire, and R is for Raccoon (but defi-nitely not for rabies). With plenty of playfully disastrous choices lurking around every corner, this compendium of black humor may be terrible for actual children, but it’s perfect for the common-senseless child in all adults.

Avery Monsen is a New York–based artist and writer. Jory John is a

California-based writer, editor, and cartoonist. They are the authors

The Country Cooking of GreeceBy Diane Kochilas • Photographs by Vassilis Stenos

The Country Cooking of Greece captures all the glory and diversity of Greek cuisine in one magnum opus from Greece’s greatest culinary authority, Diane Kochilas. More than 250 recipes were drawn from every corner of Greece, from rustic tavernas, Kochilas’ renowned cooking school, and the local artisans and village cooperatives that produce olive oil and handmade pasta. More than 150 color photographs and vivid sidebars bring to life Greece’s unique and historical food culture. Seventeen chapters organized by ingredients such as lamb, herbs, artichokes, and cheese touch down all over Greece’s dramatic geography of mountains, coastal lands, and fertile alluvial plains. A cookbook like no other, this ingredient-driven volume at once meets a growing interest in Greek cooking and serves as a homecoming for all those of Greek descent.

Diane Kochilas is consulting chef at four restaurants, food

columnist for Greece’s largest newspaper, and co-founder of

the Glorious Greek Cooking School on the Greek island of

Ikaria. She divides her time between Ikaria and New York City.

A Kiss Before You GoAn Illustrated Memoir of Love and Loss • By Danny Gregory

After the loss of his wife in a tragic accident, beloved artist Danny Gregory chronicled his grief in the medium he knows best—the pages of his illustrated journals. This intimate volume reproduces these journal pages in a stirring visual memoir of Gregory’s journey towards recovery. Uniquely sincere, and by turns tender, raw, and hopeful, Gregory’s idiosyncratic text and illustrations capture the darkest and lightest moments of his “year of magical drawing.” Gregory’s process reminds us that creative expression offers its own therapy, and that living each day to its fullest may be as simple as putting pen to paper. Anyone who has experienced loss will take solace in this refreshingly candid look at griev-ing, while art lovers will marvel at the artist’s beautiful celebra-tion of the power of creation.

Danny Gregory is the author of five books, and his illustrations have

appeared in numerous publications. He lives in New York City.

Andy Warhol Drawings

This whimsical collection of Andy Warhol’s early drawings reveals the visual musings of the man before he became the legend. The relatively unknown experiments in commercial illustration collected here were created between 1950 and 1960, pre-dating his more famous paintings and prints. Fanciful, vibrant and bold, these early drawings of fashion, animals, food, and cherubs display the signature bright colors, distinctiveness of line, and repetition of unexpected images that would spark a Pop Art revolution. Beyond dem-onstrating the playfulness that made Warhol a household name, these illustrations are a visual treat in their own right. Interspersed with quintessential Warhol quotations, this petite volume is a must-have for dedicated Warhol devotees and a delightful discovery for a new generation of fans.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was one of the twentieth century’s

preeminent artists. Known primarily for his Pop Art, he was also a

highly successful graphic artist in the early years of his career.

The Dust BowlAn Illustrated History • By Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns

In this riveting chronicle, which accompanies a documentary to be broadcast on PBS in the fall, Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns capture the profound drama of the American Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Terrifying photographs of mile-high dust storms, along with first-hand accounts by more than two dozen eyewitnesses, bring to life this heart-wrenching catastrophe, when a combination of drought, wind, and poor farming practices turned millions of acres of the Great Plains into a wasteland, killing crops and livestock, threat-ening the lives of small children, burying homesteaders’ hopes under huge dunes of dirt. Burns and Duncan collected more than 300 mesmerizing photographs, some never before published, scoured private letters, government reports, and newspaper articles, and conducted in-depth interviews to produce a document that may likely be the last recorded testimony of the generation who lived through this defining decade. Dayton Duncan is an award-winning filmmaker and author

of numerous bestsellers, including The National Parks:

America’s Best Idea. He lives in New Hampshire.

Ken Burns is an award-winning documentarian, whose

previous projects include The Civil War and the Oscar-

Modern SaucesSauce-Making for Everyone • By Martha Holmberg • Photographs by Ellen Silverman

This is the book for cooks who want to take their cooking to a whole new level. Martha Holmberg was trained at La Varenne and is an award-winning food writer. Her look at this sometimes-intimidating genre—expressed in clear, short bites of information and through dozens of process photographs—delivers the skill of great sauce-making to every kind of cook, from beginners to those more accomplished who wish to expand their repertoire. More than 100 recipes for sauces range from standards such as béarnaise, hollandaise, and marinara to modern riffs such as maple-rum sabayon, caramelized onion coulis, and coco-nut-curry spiked chocolate sauce. An additional 55 recipes use the sauces to their greatest advantage, beautifying pasta, complementing meat or fish, or elevating a cake to brilliant. Modern Sauces is both an inspiration and a timeless reference on kitchen technique.

Crepes can be rustic or delicate, homey or elegant . . . and appear to require far

more effort than they actually do. Martha Holmberg brings a modern perspective to this favorite

food, with easy do-ahead tips (crepes freeze beautifully!) and fresh flavor combinations such as

Sautéed Pears, Aged Gouda, and Fresh Thyme; Swiss Chard, Goat Cheese, and Crunchy Walnut

Crumb Topping; and Roasted Rhubarb with Lemon Cream. Five basic batters (including a ver-

satile gluten-free option!) pair with gutsy savory and lovely sweet fillings that will inspire you to

roll up some crepes any day of the week.

“Modern Sauces is my favorite book this year. It is destined to be a classic reference for the rest of my cooking life, on one of the most valuable but least understood facets of cooking: sauces.

Martha Holmberg brings great intelligence and lucid writing and instructions to the important craft of sauces. She is both respectful of and illuminating about classic sauces, innovative in her thinking about contemporary sauces, and practical in terms of everyday cooking. This is a great book.”

Stick Man’s Really Bad DayBy Steve Mockus

Stick Man is that guy you see around town but don’t really know very well. Everywhere you go, there he is, crossing the street, waiting for the bus, issuing warnings about potential disasters at sea and on land, at the mall and at work. But when he’s not offer-ing advice, what does a day in the life of Stick Man actually look like? This catastrophe-packed book uses images derived from real signs to follow a continuous narrative as Stick Man navigates the perils of a single, hilariously bad day. Everyone has had that day that just keeps getting worse, but Stick Man’s adventures show readers both what a bad day really looks like, and that in the end it’s never really quite as bad as it may seem. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for when life, or a forklift, knocks you down.

Full Steam Ahead!The Life and Art of Ward Kimball • By Amid Amidi • Foreword by Brad Bird

“Ward’s the one man who works for me I call a genius,” Walt Disney once noted. Ward Kimball’s career as an animator and Academy Award–winning director at Disney between the 1930s and the 1970s is legendary, but the work he created outside of the animation studio was equally fascinating, including building a functioning locomotive in his backyard and founding an award-winning Dixie land band. With unprecedented access to his personal archives, celebrated animation historian Amid Amidi unearthed hundreds of never-before-seen drawings, paintings, comics, letters, and photos, including concept art and stories from his occasionally turbulent career at Disney. Featuring interviews with dozens of Ward’s colleagues, relatives, students, and friends, Amidi paints a complex portrait of one of animation’s most irreverent and influential artists in this definitive must-have biography.

The Art and Making of ParaNormanBy Jed Alger • Preface by Travis Knight • Forewords by Chris Butler and Sam Fell

From LAIKA, the studio behind the hit film Coraline, comes another marvel of stop-motion animation and creative storytelling. For ParaNorman, LAIKA’s team of artists and animators built and brought to life a miniature town, a horde of zombies, and a quirky cast of charac-ters to tell a tale of a boy with spooky talents who must save his hometown from a centuries-old curse. Featuring the amazing and detailed artwork that went into the film’s creation—from character sketches and concept art to puppets, textiles, set dressing, and 3-D printed facial models—The Art and Making of ParaNorman goes behind the scenes to explore the exact-ing, exciting steps that are achieved frame by frame in this newest LAIKA masterpiece.

Jed Alger grew up in New England, in a town not unlike the

one in ParaNorman, minus the zombies. Now he lives and

works in Portland, Oregon.

Travis Knight is LAIKA’s President and CEO as well as lead

animator on LAIKA’s first feature, Coraline, and producer

Cat lovers will laugh out loud at the quirkiness of their feline friends with these insightful and curious poems from the singular minds of housecats. In this hilarious book of tongue-in-cheek poetry, the author of the internationally syndicated comic strip Sally Forth helps cats unlock their creative potential and explain their odd behavior to ignorant humans.

With photos of the cat authors throughout, this whimsical volume reveals kitties at their wackiest, and most exasperating (but always lovable).

The Architect SaysQuotes, Quips, and Words of Wisdom • By Laura S. Dushkes

If there’s anything architects like doing more than design-ing buildings, it’s talking about architecture. Whether mus-ing about their inspirations, expanding on each other’s thoughts, or dishing out a clever quip, architects make good copy. The Architect Says is a colorful compendium of quotations from more than 100 of history’s most opinion-ated design minds. Paired on page spreads like guests at a dinner party—an architect of today might sit next to a con-temporary or someone from the eighteenth-century—these sets of quotes convey a remarkable depth and diversity of thinking. Alternately wise and amusing, this elegant gem of a book makes the perfect gift for architects, students, and anyone curious about the ideas and personalities that have helped shaped our built world.

The Lost Christmas GiftBy Andrew Beckham

Sixty years after his father left to be a mapmaker in the war in Europe, Emerson Johansson received a package that had been lost in the mail for decades. An exquisite book, lovingly handmade by his father, details an extraordinary adventure they shared together before his departure. In the mountains on Christmas Eve they found themselves lost in a blizzard where they are helped by a mysterious silvery man who does not speak but leaves them a series of gifts that help them find their way home. The enigmatic man’s image is not captured in the photographs the boy took with his camera, pictures he believed, until now, were long lost. Little did he know that his father had taken the photo-graphs with him to the battlefield and meticulously recon-structed, mapped, and narrated their adventure, revealing that the curious man in the woods was no stranger, but somebody well-known to us all.
