 $14.95 ISBN-13: 9780752226644Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Boxtree, Limited, 09/01/2008 Ever feel like a tiny person in an overwhelming, chaotic world? Slinkachu takes that feeling and runs with it in his street art—literally leaving miniature people in everyday situations, scattered throughout major cities. This collection of mini “instillations” is a charming reminder to look for surprises in the most unexpected locations.—Kate  Zeitoun (Hardcover)$24.00 ISBN-13: 9781934781630Availability: Usually ships from warehouse in 1 - 5 days Published: McSweeney's, 07/01/2009 Having already written a memoir, two novels and a billion other pieces of McSweeney’s, I welcomed this non-fiction account of a Syrian man who disappeared during Hurricane Katrina. Egger’s attention to the nuances of Zeitoun’s family life and the people of New Orleans’s during the storm and its horrid aftermath are incredible. Eggers has once again struck gold.—Zach  $16.95 ISBN-13: 9781426204050Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: National Geographic, 04/01/2009 In 1971, an oil spill caused incalculable damage to the San Francisco Bay. Francis was upset about this, but soon found that it hadn’t markedly changed his own relation to our petroleum based lifestyle. He decided to live a life entirely without cars. Walking everywhere soon led him to deeper realizations about the way he (and we) lives on earth. This is the story of his odyssey.—Seana  $16.00 ISBN-13: 9780812969085Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Random House Trade Paperbacks, 09/01/2009 Fans of the PBS series Jazz  Crochet Adorned: Reinvent Your Wardrobe with Crocheted Accents, Embellishments, and Trims (Paperback)$24.95 ISBN-13: 9780307451965Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Potter Craft, 08/01/2009 Okay, I LOVE to crochet, but there is no way I am going to make a whole sweater. That is why this book is amazing! It has a ton of great project ideas to alter and add-on to already made clothes to make them all your own. It also includes a great stitch guide with motifs I have never seen before. This book belongs in any crocheting fashionista’s collection.—Saraphine  $25.00 ISBN-13: 9780385530521Availability: Special Order - Subject to Availability Published: Spiegel & Grau, 07/01/2009 If you have ever been curious about the world of tattoos, you need to read this compelling book. Working out of the famous Sea Tramp Tattoo Company in Portland, Johnson lets you peak into the world he lives in: ups and downs, hilarious and disturbing, truth and folklore. Johnson covers it all as incorporated into his memoir. Just read one chapter and you will be sucked in.—SAW  A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge (Hardcover)$24.95 ISBN-13: 9780307378149Availability: Usually ships from warehouse in 1 - 5 days Published: Pantheon, 08/01/2009 This visual text about Katrina and its aftermath is potent, able to put the reader in the middle of the hurricane and the lives that were completely upended. If you want to understand the feeling of a decimated New Orleans—and I firmly believe it is our responsibility to do so—I strongly recommend starting here.—Kate  Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen (Paperback)$14.95 ISBN-13: 9781593762445Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Soft Skull Press, 05/01/2009 Rev Jen is an art star and an ordained reverend. She wears elf ears twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Rev Jen chronicles her two years working for Nerve.com, writing a column about her ‘sexperiments’, which are exactly what the word implies. Wildly eccentric, explicit and hilarious, Rev Jen’s work is perhaps not for the staunchly conservative. – josie  What the World Eats (Hardcover)$22.99 ISBN-13: 9781582462462Availability: Usually ships from warehouse in 1 - 5 days Published: Tricycle Press, 08/01/2008 Every day America’s food-scape has become largely homogenized. This book shows you what people around the world eat, what they have access to, and what they can’t get a hold of. It’s a reality check, but it’s not heavy handed. It’s an education and a celebration with beautiful photographs, fun charts and immensely human stories.—Nici  Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America—and Found Unexpected Peace (Hardcover)$25.99 ISBN-13: 9780061626814Availability: Usually ships from warehouse in 1 - 5 days Published: Harper, 03/01/2009 There have been many books written about the journey towards faith, but what about the odyssey away from religion? Lobdell thoughtfully charts his spiritual path from ambivalence to affirmation to doubt, and manages to close on a moving note of serenity and peace. This surprising memoir turned out to be one of the best books about atheism I’ve encountered.—Kat  $24.99 ISBN-13: 9780446178426Availability: Usually ships from warehouse in 1 - 5 days Published: Grand Central Publishing, 03/01/2009 I can’t seem to shut up about this book! Roose was an undergraduate at Brown University when he decided to undergo a semester “abroad” at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, also known as “boot camp for Christ.” What follows is a respectful but animated look at one of our country’s most misunderstood cultural groups: college-age conservative evangelical Christians.—Kat  $24.00 ISBN-13: 9780307408839Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Clarkson Potter, 05/01/2009 One visit to this lovely New
York bakery was enough to convince me that I need this cookbook.
Babycakes runs the proverbial baking gamut, but without refined
sugar, animal products or gluten—and still utterly delicious. Touting
an impressive list of celebrity endorsements, the Babycakes bakery and
cookbook are a welcome addition to the baking scene.—josie
 $35.00 ISBN-13: 9780764524837Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Wiley, 10/01/2007 As Bittman says, this book is for everyone who wants to cook great food that just happens not to have meat in it. All of Bittman’s books are easy to use, full of potential variations, and written with an average cook’s skill set in mind. He’s helped me cook more successful home meals than any other cookbook author I’ve tried.—Nici |
