Frank lloyd wriGHt on tHe west CoastMark Anthony Wilson • Photographs by Joel PuliattiNew!

Frank Lloyd Wright’s buildings on the West Coast have not been thoroughly covered in print until now. Between 1909 and 1959, Wright designed a total of 36 structures up and down the West Coast, from Seattle to Southern California. These include well-known structures such as the Marin County Civic Center and Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, and many lesser-known gems such as the 1909 Stewart House near Santa Barbara.

With nearly 200 photographs by veteran architectural photographer Joel Puliatti and 44 archival images (many of which have never been seen in print before), this comprehensive survey of Wright’s West Coast legacy features background information on the clients’ relationships with Wright, including insights gleaned from correspondence with the original owners and interviews with many of the current owners.

Mark anthony WilSon is an architectural historian who has been writing and teaching about architecture for more than 35 years. He has written four previous books about architecture, including Julia Morgan: Architect of Beauty and Bernard Maybeck: Architect of Elegance. He lives in Berkeley, California.

A new look is emerging in France’s apartments as well as its imposing chateaux and country manors. Along with signature pieces of national identity—such as finely crafted wood pieces, splendid mirrors, and grandmère’s well cared for linens—European mid-century modern furnishings also adorn settings in this age of merging sensibilities.

Amid abstract works of art hanging on walls, painted furniture mingles easily with budget-friendly finds from assorted cultures, such as wool rugs and hand-embroidered linens from India, and pottery, artisan-made pillows, throws and vintage textiles from remote markets in Morocco.

Parents and toddlers alike will enjoy this new take on Austen’s timeless work à la Goodnight Moon.

ameriCan triVia Quiz bookRichard Lederer & Caroline McCullagh

Just How much do you know about our Great nation?

Recent surveys reveal that more Americans can name at least two members of the Simpsons’ cartoon family than can name the first four American presidents in order. Richard Lederer and Caroline McCullagh have written the American Trivia Quiz Book to make your knowledge of our nation’s history at least match the nation’s knowledge of The Simpsons.

The American Trivia Quiz Book brims with fascinating facts about the people, places, and events that make our nation great, with a series of fun and informative quizzes on subjects ranging from Columbus to baseball. There are questions about presidents and first ladies, explorers and inventors, heroes and poets. Impress (and stump) your friends with your knowledge of all things American. In the process, you’ll find our national gifts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be even more precious.

riChard lederer, Ph.D., is the author of more than forty books about language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series, and Presidential Trivia and American Trivia. He has been profiled in magazines as diverse as The New Yorker, People, and the National Inquirer, and is founding cohost of A Way with Words on public radio. Dr. Lederer’s syndicated column “Lederer on Language” appears in newspapers and magazines throughout the United States. He has been elected International Punster of the Year and Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavel winner.

Caroline MCCullagh, coauthor of American Trivia, earned a master’s degree in anthropology from the University of California, San Diego. Her diverse writing projects include four novels, a cookbook, a student opera (under the auspices of San Diego Opera), and twelve years of monthly garden book reviews for the San Diego Horticultural Society. She also teaches creative writing to seniors two days a week.
