Karen Alpert

When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he's an a-hole. When your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she's an a-hole. When your rug rats purposely decorate the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they're a-holes. So it's only natural to want to kill them sometimes. Of course you can't because you'd go to prison, and then you'd really never get to poop alone again. Plus, there's that whole loving them more than anything in the whole world thing. Karen Alpert is the writer of the popular blog Baby Sideburns. You may have seen some of her more viral posts like "Ten Things I Really F'ing Want for Mother's Day," "Daddy Sticker Chart" and "What NOT to F'ing Buy My Kids this Holiday." Or you may know her from her Facebook page that has over 130,000 followers. I Heart My Little A-Holes is full of hilarious stories, lists, thoughts and pictures that will make you laugh so hard you'll wish you were wearing a diaper.

Named Sports Illustrated's best football book of all time and a #1 NYT bestseller, this is the classic story of a high school football team whose win-loss record has a profound influence on the town around them.

Return once again to the timeless account of the Permian Panthers of Odessa -- the winningest high-school football team in Texas history. Socially and racially divided, Odessa isn't known to be a place big on dreams, but every Friday night from September to December, when the Panthers play football, dreams can come true.

With frankness and compassion, Pulitzer Prize winner H. G. Bissinger unforgettably captures a season in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires -- and sometimes shatters -- the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms.

The inspiration for the hit television program and film of the same name, this anniversary edition features a new afterword by the author.

Stories

One of Entertainment Weekly's 50 Most Anticipated Books of 2020, one of O, the Oprah Magazine's 30 Most Anticipated Books of 2020, one of BuzzFeed's Most Anticipated Books of 2020, one of the BBC's Ten Books to Read in 2020, and one of The Millions Most Anticipated Books of the First Half of 2020 An urgent and unsettling collection of women on the verge from Laura van den Berg, author of The Third Hotel I Hold a Wolf by the Ears, Laura van den Berg’s first story collection since her acclaimed and prizewinning Isle of Youth, draws readers into a world of wholly original, sideways ghost stories that linger in the mouth and mind like rotten, fragrant fruit. Both timeless and urgent, these eleven stories confront misogyny, violence, and the impossible economics of America with van den Berg’s trademark spiky humor and surreal eye. Moving from the peculiarities of Florida to liminal spaces of travel in Mexico City, Sicily, and Iceland, I Hold a Wolf by the Ears is uncannily attuned to our current moment, and to the thoughts we reveal to no one but ourselves. In “Lizards,” a man mutes his wife's anxieties by giving her a La Croix–like seltzer laced with sedatives. In the title story, a woman poses as her more successful sister during a botched Italian holiday, a choice that brings about strange and violent consequences, while in “Karolina,” a woman discovers her prickly ex-sister-in-law in the aftermath of an earthquake and is forced to face the truth about her violent brother. I Hold a Wolf by the Ears presents a collection of women on the verge, trying to grasp what’s left of life: grieving, divorced, and hyperaware, searching, vulnerable, and unhinged, they exist in a world that deviates from our own only when you look too close. With remarkable control and transcendent talent, van den Berg dissolves, in the words of the narrator of “Slumberland," “that border between magic and annihilation,” and further establishes herself as a defining fiction writer of our time.

Tess Hamilton

Excellent condition.

Tess took flight, pursuing her promise to marry a Brazilian exchange student.
As she traveled across the continents, she grappled with love and darkness.
She looked up at the full moon, gazed at the twinkling stars, and listened, immersing herself in the voices that surrounded her.
If only she had tried harder to say the words. Her silence became a distant echo.
The softness of his lips was replaced by the black and white images of her past.
She tried to look beyond the puffy clouds in the sky, but found herself staring at the memory of Andy Warhol’s pop art, a simple can of Campbell’s tomato soup.
Tess clings to optimism and inner strength, which guides her to an insatiable desire to fly.
The seagulls above, the sparkle of the San Francisco Bay, and the surrounding hills of Oakland, California, set the stage for Tess Hamilton’s journey.
And Thoughts of Leaving become her only friend.

This book is based on a true story and will take the reader through a time and place where youth and love are sought and not always found as expected.

Tess Hamilton's story weaves in and out of time, taking place during the 1970s, surrounded by the glitter of the San Francisco Bay Area. This unsuspecting adventure, containing rows and rows of ticky-tacky houses, took on a gloomy twilight as Tess shares her disenchantment within her divided neighborhoods, struggles of childhood separation, and subjection to adult misbehavior.What if you had the opportunity to leave? What if your dreams and desires as a young woman were to travel, at any distance, to marry the man who promised to complete you?At the age of eighteen Tess took flight, destination; Sao Paulo, Brazil. She walked away from the security of her childhood home to fulfill her promise, and marry Andre, a Brazilian foreign exchange student. Join Tess as she opens her imagination, journeys between continents, and soars over the equator on her quest to master new languages, a new life and a new love. The breath-taking smell of the ocean, the endless footsteps carved upon the sandy paths, and the heavy aircraft taking off and landing at Oakland Airport, propel Tess into rendering Thoughts of Leaving.

Songs of the Gilded Age

Christopher Kostow

Excellent condition. This book is a signed edition. 


This debut cookbook by Chef Christopher Kostow of The Restaurant at Meadowood discusses the transformative effect that The Napa Valley has had on his perception of cooking and craft. Through thoughtful essays, curated recipes and stunning photography, A New Napa Cuisine details the relationships and collaborations that exemplify a "new Napa"--one full of dynamism, youth and promise.

A New Napa Cuisine follows Kostow's journey from summer jobs at a Chicago-area music festival to helming a three-Michelin-starred restaurant that the Wall Street Journal recently praised as a "temple of modern American cuisine." The book celebrates the local artisans, products, growers, and wilds that have played a role in the creation of a nascent style of cooking specific to this small American valley. Through tales of designing china with local ceramicists or discovering wild edibles along the creek while walking his dog; planting seeds both literal and figurative--Kostow's story is a personal and engaging one.

Oversized Hardcover (4 to 6 lbs)

[a Cookbook]

Through 100 artfully constructed recipes and stunning photography, Kostow details the transformative effect this small American valley has had on his life and work—introducing us to the artisans, products, growers, and wild ingredients that inspire his unparalleled food. As he shares stories of discovering wild plums and radishes growing along the creek behind his home or of firing pottery with local ceramists, Kostow presents a new Napa cuisine—one deeply rooted in a place that’s rich in beauty, history, and community.
