With a Foreword by Anthony Bourdain and Preface by David Simon Food Photography by Ed Anderson
Inspired by David Simons award-winning HBO series Treme, this celebration of the
culinary spirit of post-Katrina New Orleans features recipes and tributes from the

Turnip Soup to the citys finest Sazerac, New Orleans cuisine is a mlange of influences
from Creole to Vietnamese, at once new and old, genteel and down-home, and, in the
words of Toni Bernette, seasoned with delicious nostalgia. As visually rich as the series
itself, the book includes 100 heritage and contemporary recipes from the citys heralded
restaurants such as Upperline, Bayona, Restaurant August, and Herbsaint, plus original
recipes from renowned chefs Eric Ripert, David Chang, and other Treme guest stars.
For the 6 million who come to New Orleans each year for its food and music, this is the
ultimate homage to the traditions that make it one of the worlds greatest cities.
Lolis Eric Elie is a New Orleans native, the story editor
for the HBO series Treme, co-producer of the documentary
Faubourg Treme, and author of Smokestack Lightning.
Anthony Bourdain is an author, television host, and writer

By Daniel Wallace
In his quest for total domination, Darth Sidious compiled six legendary dark side texts
detailing Sith history and philosophy by Sorzus Syn, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Mother
Talzin, Darth Plagueis, and himself. Together these documents form the Book of Sith.
Over the centuries, the texts were passed among Force users who left handwritten notes
and annotations in the margins, including Darth Vader, Yoda, Mace Windu, and Luke
Skywalker, among others. Collected by acclaimed Star Wars writer Daniel Wallace and
embellished by numerous esteemed Star Wars illustrators, this volume introduces new
characters and history, and delves deeper into understanding the philosophies and
methods behind the dark side of the Force.
Daniel Wallace is the author of many books, including Star
Wars: The Essential Guide to Characters and Star Wars: The
Jedi Path. He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

This new collection of vintage-with-a-twist work by Anne Taintor offers up a fresh serving
of Annes signature hilarious commentary on the joys, challenges, and cocktail hours of
motherhood. From the fundamentals (WOW! I get to give birth AND change diapers! )
to putting food on the table (you see them as pies . . . I see them as cries for help) to
dealing with childhood questions (because Im the mother . . . thats why) and strategies
for taking the edge off (now be a dear and fetch mommy her flask ), Taintor expertly
captures the funny, frantic, and honest thoughts that most moms have experienced,
with an attitude mothers everywhere will welcome.
Much emulated, never replicated, Anne Taintor first began
pairing vintage illustrations with witty sayings 25 years ago.
She lives in a 1783 farmhouse in Maine.

By BikeSnobNYC
In his new book, BikeSnobNYC reaches the final frontier of cycling: riding with the family.
As his choice to take to the road with his toddler son in tow is met with bewilderment
and disapproval from onlookers and the occasional motorist, he ponders why its such a
taboo. And what does it really mean to be a bike-friendly country? Seeking answers, he
heads from the U.S. to London, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, and San Vito dei Normanni in
search of an alternative. With humorous anecdotes and his trademark biting wit and
wisdom, BikeSnobNYC takes us on his most personal narrative journey yet, and ultimately
shines a light on the growing pains that exist in any culture that asks smartphoneobsessed text-happy pedestrians, the two-wheeled, and the four-wheeled to share the road.
BikeSnobNYC (a.k.a. Eben Weiss) is the blogger behind
bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com, a massively popular cycling blog.
He also writes a monthly column in Bicycling magazine.
He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Sorted Books
By Nina Katchadourian Introduction by Brian Dillon
Delighting in the look and feel of books, conceptual artist Nina Katchadourians playful
photographic series proves that books coversor more specifically, their spinescan
speak volumes. Over the past two decades, Katchadourian has perused libraries across
the globe, selecting, stacking, and photographing groupings of two, three, four, or five
books so that their titles can be read as sentences, creating whimsical narratives from the
text found there. Thought-provoking, clever, and at times laugh-out-loud funny (one
cluster of titles from the Akron Museum of Arts research library consists of: Primitive
Art /Just Imagine / Picasso / Raised by Wolves), Sorted Books is an enthralling collection
of visual poems full of wry wit and bookish smarts.
Nina Katchadourian is an internationally exhibited conceptual

Jason Sacher is a writer and illustrator living in the wilds of southern Maine. He
has long been an admirer of curse words and their many uses, although he is troubled
by the increasing frequency with which those words are vehemently hurled at him
by friends, acquaintances, and members of his household. He figures he must just
have one of those faces. You can read Jasons comics at www.picnicspirit.com.

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.

Flower
These photographs of flowers taken by Andrew Zuckerman are pure. His pictures
are elegant. The images, one after another, flow like a dream of dance. The book
taken all together serves as a grand celebration of mother natures artistry. Here,
Andrew captures one of the most beautiful aspects of the cosmic play.
David Lynch
Andrew Zuckerman
Noted filmmaker and photographer, Andrew Zuckerman, utilizes
a multitude of platforms to produce work that is systematically
executed, conceptually based, and democratically presented.
Minimalist in nature, Zuckerman aims to create atmospheres
of clarity and neutrality to facilitate the viewers access to the
material. He has employed this distinctive approach in four
critically acclaimed multi-media projects Creature (2007),
Wisdom (2008), Bird (2009), and Music (2010) which have been
realized as books, films, and traveling exhibitions. His books
have been translated into numerous languages and published
in 18 international editions. Zuckermans 2007 short film, High
Falls, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was
selected as Best Short Film at the Woodstock Film Festival. His
work has been exhibited extensively worldwide, and has been
collected in and commissioned for public and private collections.
He lives with his family in New York City.

Flower
Andrew Zuckermans Flower is predicated on contemporizing
the well-mined terrain of botanical imagery. Culled from an
investigation of over 300 species, Zuckerman aims, as always,
to translate the essential nature of his subjects and unearth
qualities that have previously escaped scrutiny.
In the blank field of pure white light, each flower exists on its own
terms. Every aspect is made explicit. What one notices immediately
are the astonishing gradations of color and variations of form,
followed by boundless textural nuance. The effect of this precision
is at once taxonomically specific and startlingly lovely.
The images contained within transcend still life. These are flowers
in a distinct time and place, responding to the pull of light, gravity,
and water. At close range, they reveal a kind of topography for
survival, exposing the structural motivationsvascular, respiratory,
reproductivefor such arresting physical beauty.

Ive lived and worked with these images for the past several years, exhibiting
large-scale photographs from the series at my gallery in New York City
and art fairs across the country. Weve installed larger ones still their
proportions too outsized to fit into our modest storefront space in some
of the citys most glamorous abodes, and seen them published in the pages
of shelter magazines. Im also proud to say that quite literally hundreds
of thousands of people have had the opportunity to become familiar with
this body of work via our online venture, 20200.com, with thousands
of those viewers being proud collectors themselves, hanging prints from
this series in their homes at dimensions that range from a modest slice
of paradise all the way up to those aforementioned outsized proportions.
