SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the launch of a new book on Harrie T. Lindeberg with authors Peter Pennoyer and Anne Walker
DESCRIPTION:This architectural tour brings to light the genius and influence of Harrie T. Lindeberg\, a leader of the American Country House Era who synthesized Scandinavian\, European\, and American traditions. Harrie T. Lindeberg (1880–1959) was born of Swedish immigrants who settled in New Jersey. He apprenticed with architect George A. Freeman\, joined the prestigious firm McKim\, Mead & White in 1901\, and forged out on his own in 1906\, beginning fifty years of independent practice. An impressive client list includes the leading American families—Du Pont\, Havemeyer\, Doubleday—for whom he built houses in affluent suburbs and resorts across the country—Rhinebeck\, Newport\, Grosse Point\, Lake Forest\, and the Gold Coast of Long Island. \nArchitect Peter Pennoyer and historian Anne Walker bring Lindeberg’s work to life in Harrie T. Lindeberg and the American Country House. This survey of Lindeberg’s most stunning and influential projects includes more than 200 photographs—including new color photography by Jonathan Wallen—floor plans\, and sketches. After introducing Lindeberg’s personal history and professional background\, the book traces his career from his acclaimed debut in Pocantico Hills to larger developments like Meadow Spring and the export of his signature style to the Onwentsia Country Club in Lake Forest\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the publication of It's My Party with author Jeannette Watson
DESCRIPTION:Born into a celebrity family (her father was Watson’s son\, who turned the company into the powerhouse it still is today\, and her mother\, Olive\, had dated Howard Hughes and John F. Kennedy)\, Jeannette Watson’s larger-than-life family hid a number of secrets. Behind a façade of order and glamour\, Tom Watson often experienced dark moods; his depression was something he passed on to his daughter. Jeannette felt she could never measure up to her mother―a legendary beauty―and kept her nose buried in books. \nThrough her years as a debutante\, then young wife and mother\, Watson kept her feelings under wraps until she had a mental breakdown. As part of her fight to heal herself\, she left her husband\, taking their son and moving to New York City to experience its heady 1970s freedoms. She opened the legendary Upper East Side bookstore Books & Co.\, which became a gathering place for literati. Her personal life soared once more when she met her second husband\, Alex Sanger\, grandson of Planned Parenthood’s founder\, with whom she had two more sons. After a long and fulfilling run\, the bookstore closed and Watson found her way down a new path to become a spiritual healer. \nIt’s My Party is a portrait of another era\, a guide to dealing with depression\, and one woman’s effort to understand herself.

SUMMARY:Charity Tillemann-Dick will be signing copies of her debut memoir The Encore
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable true story of acclaimed opera singer Charity Tillemann-Dick\, who received not one but two double lung transplants and went from struggling to draw a single breath to singing at the most prestigious venues in the world.\nCharity Tillemann-Dick was a vivacious young American soprano studying at the celebrated Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest when she received devastating news: her lungs were failing\, her heart was three and a half sizes too big\, and she would die within five years. Inexplicably\, despite her fatal pulmonary condition\, she could still sing. Medical experts advised Charity to abandon her musical dreams\, but if her time was running out\, she wanted to spend it doing what she loved.\nIn just three years\, she endured two double lung transplants. Teetering between life and death\, she slowly learned to breathe\, walk\, talk\, eat\, and sing again. With new lungs and fierce determination\, she eventually fell in love\, rebuilt her career\, and reclaimed her life. Over a decade after her diagnosis\, she has a chart-topping album\, performs around the globe\, and is a leading voice for organ donation. Weaving Charity’s extraordinary tale of triumph with those of opera’s greatest heroines\, The Encore illuminates the indomitable human spirit. It’s the story of confronting devastating challenges with love: the intimate love of a mother for her daughter\, a man for a woman\, a doctor for her craft\, and a singer for her music. Ultimately\, grace from God and strangers enabled the work of love to save one young woman’s breath and allowed her to reclaim her life.

SUMMARY:David Cleveland signing copies of his new novel Time's Betrayal
DESCRIPTION:Time’s Betrayal is an epic multi-generational family saga covering the years from the battle of Antietam to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The novel chronicles a son’s search for a larger-than-life father\, a CIA agent who disappeared in the early fifties\, leaving behind a distraught wife and lovers\, not to mention a Pandora’s box of devastating secrets and unanswered questions that baffled all who investigated his fate–a fate as beguiling as it is mysterious. This is also a story about the crumbling edifice of the eastern Establishment after World War II and in Vietnam-era America. A poignant coming-of-age tale\, it is related though the eyes of Peter Alden\, whose school days are shattered when he overhears a conversation about his father from two CIA colleagues: how John Alden\, a world-famous archaeologist turned OSS and CIA officer\, who vanished through Checkpoint Charlie\, may have been a traitor. \nAlthough Time’s Betrayal is a literate genre-bender and suspenseful page-turner full of twists and turns\, the novel is really about how family history shapes who we are and how memory — the river of Time– guides our joint destinies\, testing our most cherished hopes\, shaping who we are and what we believe\, and teaching us that the essential truths of our humanity–freedom\, justice\, love\, and honor–must be reclaimed in every generation.

SUMMARY:Please join us for the launch of Melissa Roske's debut Kat Greene Comes Clean
DESCRIPTION:“How do you help someone with a problem?” I ask. “A problem they don’t think they have.”\nKat Greene lives in New York City and attends fifth grade in the very progressive Village Humanity School. At the moment she has three major problems—dealing with her boy-crazy best friend\, partnering with the overzealous Sam in the class production of Harriet the Spy\, and coping with her mother’s preoccupation with cleanliness\, a symptom of her worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder. \n  \nMelissa is a former advice columnist for Just Seventeen magazine in London\, where she answered hundreds of letters from readers each week. (Her column was called “Life Sucks\,” but it was Melissa’s job to insist it didn’t.) Kat Greene Comes Clean is her debut novel. Melissa lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the NYC launch of Marti's Song for Freedom with author Emma Otheguy
DESCRIPTION:As a boy\, José Martí was inspired by the natural world. He found freedom in the river that rushed to the sea and peace in the palmas reales that swayed in the wind. Freedom\, he believed\, was the inherent right of all men and women. But his home island of Cuba was colonized by Spain\, and some of the people were enslaved by rich landowners. Enraged\, Martí took up his pen and fought against this oppression through his writings. By age seventeen\, he was declared an enemy of Spain and forced to leave his beloved island. \nMartí traveled the world\, speaking out for Cuba’s independence. But throughout his exile\, he suffered from illness and homesickness. He found solace in New York’s Catskill Mountains\, where nature inspired him once again to fight for independence. \nWritten in verse\, with excerpts from Martí’s seminal Versos sencillos\, this book is a beautiful tribute to a brilliant political writer and courageous fighter of freedom for all men and women. \n

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the launch of Grace Hopper with author Laurie Wallmark and illustrator Katy Wu
DESCRIPTION:“If you’ve got a good idea\, and you know it’s going to work\, go ahead and do it.”\nThe inspiring story of Grace Hopper—the boundary-breaking woman who revolutionized computer science—is told told in an engaging picture book biography. \nWho was Grace Hopper? A software tester\, workplace jester\, cherished mentor\, ace inventor\, avid reader\, naval leader—AND rule breaker\, chance taker\, and troublemaker. Acclaimed picture book author Laurie Wallmark (Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine) once again tells the riveting story of a trailblazing woman. Grace Hopper coined the term “computer bug” and taught computers to “speak English.” Throughout her life\, Hopper succeeded in doing what no one had ever done before. Delighting in difficult ideas and in defying expectations\, the insatiably curious Hopper truly was “Amazing Grace” . . . and a role model for science- and math-minded girls and boys. With a wealth of witty quotes\, and richly detailed illustrations\, this book brings Hopper’s incredible accomplishments to life.

SUMMARY:Please join us for the launch of Botanical Shakespeare with author Gerit Quealy
DESCRIPTION:A captivating\, beautifully illustrated\, one-of-a-kind color compendium of the flowers\, fruits\, herbs\, trees\, seeds\, and grasses cited in the works of the world’s greatest playwright\, William Shakespeare\, accompanied by their companion quotes from all of his plays and poems. With a foreword by Dame Helen Mirren—the first foreword she has ever contributed. \nIn this striking compilation\, Shakespeare historian Gerit Quealy and respected Japanese artist Sumié Hasegawa combine their knowledge and skill in this first and only book that examines every plant that appears in the works of Shakespeare. \nBotanical Shakespeare opens with a brief look at the Bard’s relationship to the plants mentioned in his works—a diversity that illuminates his knowledge of the science of botany\, as well as the colloquy\, revealing his unmatched skill for creating metaphorical connections and interweaving substantive philosophy. At the heart of the book are “portraits” of the over 170 flowers\, fruits\, grains\, grasses\, trees\, herbs\, seeds and vegetables that Shakespeare mentions in his plays and poems. Botanical Shakespeare features a gorgeous color illustration of each\, giving a “face” to the name\, alongside the specific text in which it appears and the character(s) who utter the lines in which it is mentioned. \nThis fascinating visual compendium also includes a dictionary describing each plant—such as Eglantine\, a wild rose with a slight prickle\, cherished for its singular scent\, superior to any other rose; and the difference between apples and apple-john—along with indices listing the botanical by play/poem\, by character\, and genus for easy reference\, ideal for gardeners and thoughtful birthday gift-giving. \nThis breathtaking\, incomparable collection of exquisite artwork and companion quotes offers unique depth and insight into Shakespeare and his timeless work through the unusual perspective of the plants themselves.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the publication of Golden Legacy with Leonard S. Marcus
DESCRIPTION:Eminent children’s historian Leonard Marcus’ Golden Legacy chronicles the fascinating story of the creation\, marketing\, and worldwide impact of Little Golden Books\, the most popular children’s books of all time. Launched during the dark days of WWII\, Golden Books such as The Poky Little Puppy were an instant sensation.

Lavishly illustrated with the iconic Golden Book covers and colorful artwork  generations of children have pored over\, Golden Legacy is a compelling tale of mavericks\, innovators\, and renowned authors and illustrators. . . a stirring celebration of the humble books in which we scrawled our names\, with the cardboard cover and the shiny gold-foil spine.

SUMMARY:Edward Sorel launches Mary Astor's Purple Diary
DESCRIPTION:In a hilarious send-up of sex\, scandal\, and the Golden Age of Hollywood\, legendary cartoonist Edward Sorel brings us a story (literally) ripped from the headlines of a bygone era. In 1965\, a young\, up-and-coming illustrator by the name of Edward Sorel was living in a $97-a-month railroad flat on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Resolved to fix up the place\, Sorel began pulling up the linoleum on his kitchen floor\, tearing away layer after layer until he discovered a hidden treasure: issues of the New York Daily News and Daily Mirror from 1936\, each ablaze with a scandalous child custody trial taking place in Hollywood and starring the actress Mary Astor. Mary Astor’s Purple Diary narrates and illustrates the travails of the Oscar-winning actress alongside Sorel’s own personal story of discovering an unlikely muse. Throughout\, we get his wry take on all the juicy details of this particular slice of Hollywood Babylon\, including Mary’s life as a child star—her career in silent films began at age fourteen—presided over by her tyrannical father\, Otto\, who “managed” her full-time and treated his daughter like an ATM machine.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the publication of Wild By Design with Margie Ruddick
DESCRIPTION:Can nature—in all its unruly wildness—be an integral part of creative landscape design? In her beautifully illustrated book\, Wild by Design\, award-winning designer Margie Ruddick urges designers to look beyond the rules often imposed by both landscaping convention and sustainability checklists. Instead\, she offers a set of principles for a more creative and intuitive approach that challenges the entrenched belief that natural processes cannot complement high-level landscape design. Wild by Design defines and explains the five fundamental strategies Ruddick employs to give life\, beauty\, and meaning to landscapes: Reinvention\, Restoration\, Conservation\, Regeneration\, and Expression. Drawing on her own projects–from New York City’s Queens Plaza\, formerly a concrete jungle of traffic\, to a desertscape backyard in Baja\, California\, to the Living Water Park in Chengdu\, China–she offers guidance on creating beautiful\, healthy landscapes that successfully reconnect people with larger natural systems.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Fine\, Fine\, Fine\, Fine\, Fine with author Diane Williams
DESCRIPTION:The very short stories of Diane Williams have been aptly called “folk tales that hammer like a nail gun\,” and these 40 new ones are sharper than ever. They are unsettling\, yes\, frequently revelatory\, and more often than not downright funny. \nNot a single moment here is what you might expect. While there is immense pleasure to be found in Williams’s spot-on observations about how we behave in our highest and lowest moments\, the heart of the drama beats in the language of American short fiction’s grand master\, whose originality\, precision\, and power bring the familiar into startling and enchanted relief.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of The Crazy Thing with Carl Lehmann-Haupt
DESCRIPTION:The Crazy Thing tries to respond to this endless question. It is a love story entwined with a philosophic quest. Beginning from the question about dying it goes on to explore some ways in which it might be possible to begin over again\, and  perhaps still learn how to live ‘somewhere near the end.’ The Crazy Thing is a memoir with three themes: It tells the story of the author’s long love affair with the poet\, Celestine Frost; the drama of his enigmatic calling as an artist\, writer and thinker; and his lifelong search for the incalculable limits of the self. The Crazy Thing is a work in progress\, whose outcome is yet to be known. This first small volume will be followed by six more. It contains an invitation to the reader to post their questions\, comments and refutations regarding the book’s conclusions on a website — thecrazything.net. The author will take into account the most pertinent of those challenges to his understanding as he composes the subsequent installments. In the end\, the book will be a work of collaboration between the author and the community it creates. \n  \n
