Horrifying Knowledge
POEMS
Paul Guest
A fierce and original poetry collection, whose
generosity of voice and emotional range announce
the arrival of a major and promising new poet
My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge heralds the arrival of
a powerful new voice in poetry. At the age of 12, Paul Guest
suffered a bicycle accident that left him paralyzed for life. But
out of sudden disaster evolved a fierce poetic sensibility—one
that blossomed into a refuge for all the grief, fury, and wonder
at life forever altered.
“People will read [these poems] for what is fresh,
headlong, surprising and alive and bitter and sweet in
them—for their ability to make us see.” —ROBERT
HASS “Astonishing...although Guest has suffered ter-
rible loss, nothing has been lost on him.” —JORIE
GRAHAM “Wonderful poems, flung one after another
in the teeth of ‘daily’ life, each an act of defiance
that affirms the terrible power of that life.” —JOHN
ASHBERY “An urgent and moving book.” —LOUISE
GLUCK “Guest is a spirit to be reckoned with. Here’s
a body of new work to cheer about.” —MARY KARR
“A beautiful, breathless torrent of language . . . a terrific
book.” —MARK STRAND “A seemingly bottomless
gas tank of generosity fuels these high octane poems...
both funny and serious . . . and apocalyptically compas-
sionate.” —CAMPBELL McGRATH
Guest’s memoir,• One More Theory About Happiness, will be published
by Ecco in 2009.
Paul Guest’s first book, The Resurrection of the Body and the
Ruin of the World, won the 2002 New Issues Prize in Poetry,
and his second book, Notes for my Body Double, won the 2006
Prairie Schooner Book Prize. The recipient of a 2007 Whiting
Award, he is a visiting professor of English at the University of
West Georgia.

A Day and a Night
and a Day
A NOVEL
Glen Duncan
In a windowless cell, a man hangs from a pair of
handcuffs. He is an American. His torturer will stop
at nothing to extract the information he requires.
He, too, is an American.
A Day and a Night and a Day is the story of Augustus Rose—son
of Harlem, activist, journalist, lover, restaurateur, unlikely ter-
rorist—and his interrogator, Harper, a Grand Inquisitor armed
with 21st-century cruelty, clarity and charisma, an ambassador
for the darkest forces at work in our times.
As Harper’s assault on his body and soul intensifies,
Augustus raises the only shield he has: memory—of the women
in his life, from his outcast Euro-American mother, Juliet, to
the ravaged vigilante who recruited him, Elise Merkete, to the
young Spanish prostitute, Inez, the last of female tenderness
he’s ever likely to know. Outshining them all is the memory
of the stunning, wealthy, and white, Selina, and the love affair
begun in 1960s New York—an epic, taboo mix of politics and
passion that would lead Augustus from Harlem to Greenwich
Village, from El Salvador to Barcelona, from Morocco to a bleak
British island where death seems his only companion....
Dramatic, far-reaching, and beautifully written, A Day and
a Night and a Day is both a piercing love story and a timely, har-
rowing evaluation of the shape the Western world is taking.
Glen Duncan is the critically-acclaimed author of six previ-
ous novels, most recently, The Bloodstone Papers. He lives in
London.

The Bomb
A NEW HISTORY
Stephen M. Younger
A former weapons designer and expert on American
nuclear policy presents a primer on the history,
science, and future of the world’s deadliest weapons
The Cold War has been over for twenty years, yet America still
maintains a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons. Younger,
a former nuclear weapons designer, argues that it is time for
a new debate about these uniquely destructive weapons. Do
we need them at all in a time of precision bombs and missile
defense? What weapons do we have now and what weapons do
we need in the future? Is it time to change our nuclear policy,
especially given the proliferation of nuclear weapons to more
and more countries? Younger lays out the facts, some for the
first time, and sounds a clear and compelling call to action. He
describes how weapons work, the myths and realities of what
happens after a nuclear explosion, and how our nuclear policy
evolved to what it is today.
From his years at Los Alamos and the Nevada Test Site to
his meetings with Russian weapons experts in Moscow, Younger
witnessed firsthand the making and breaking of nuclear policy.
He guides us from the Manhattan Project to Star Wars, all with
startling clarity to shed a fiercely relevant, scientifically ground-
ed light on how nuclear weapons fit into our world today.
Stephen M. Younger, is a senior policy scholar at the Woodrow
Wilson International Center for Scholars. He recently retired as a
senior fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he was in
charge of nuclear weapons research and development. From 2001
to 2004, he was director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
at the U.S. Department of Defense. He lives in Las Vegas.

A Map of Desire
FOUR JOURNEYS INTO THE FAR REALMS OF
LUST AND LONGING
Daniel Bergner
“A terrific reporter with a novelist’s eye” (New York
Times Book Review) explores the essence of human
sexuality through four provocative, personal stories,
revealing the hidden nature of desire within us all
How do we come to be who we are, sexually? How do we cope
with the forces of desire? And how can we understand the rela-
tionship between the transcendent and the physical, between
the wish for love and the anarchy of the erotic?
Daniel Bergner looks for answers in the stories of four
people whose longings are very different from our own: a
devoted husband burdened by an insatiable foot fetish, a cloth-
ing designer who finds ecstasy in the pain of others, a man
smitten with his young stepdaughter, and an advertising direc-
tor who casts traditionally beautiful models but is attracted
only to amputees. In their desires, Bergner finds metaphors for
the issues that confront us all, and raises fascinating questions
about the erotic differences between men and women, and the
nature of ecstasy itself (are these people actually experiencing
more ecstasy than the rest of us?). In speaking to experts in the
fields of biology, psychiatry and anthropology, and by threading
the personal stories of several modern-day Kinseys throughout
his riveting case studies, Bergner has written a provocative, pro-
foundly insightful, and brilliantly illuminating book about the
most fundamental of human needs.
“Searching, deeply humane . . . Our reactions to the stories Daniel
Bergner recounts reveal as much about ourselves as they do about his
oddly winning subjects.”
—Jennifer Egan, bestselling author of The Keep
Daniel Bergner is a staff writer for the New York Times
Magazine and the author of two critically-acclaimed books of
nonfiction, In the Land of Magic Solders: A Story of White and
Black in West Africa, a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year,
and God of the Rodeo: The Quest for Redemption in Louisiana’s
Angola Prison, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

B Is for Beer
Tom Robbins
“Robbins’ comic philosophical musings reveal a
flamboyant genius.” —People
“One of the bravest writers in America.” —Chicago Tribune
“One of the wildest and most entertaining writers in the world.”
—Financial Times
“Robbins’ following is among the most loyal and ecstatic in contempo-
rary literature.” —Portland Oregonian
“Robbins is a great writer…and definitely a provocative rascal.”
—The Tennessean
Bestselling author Tom Robbins’ first fiction in five years (and
maybe his most audacious ever), B Is for Beer explores various
aspects of suds culture—ancient, modern, and otherworldly;
brutal, sophomoric, and divine—and dramatizes the surpris-
ing things that happen when the life of a spunky kindergartner
named Gracie Perkel intersects with each.
Billed by Robbins as “the first children’s book about beer,”
this lively little tome also taps the keg of life’s existential myster-
ies and is intended to sit alongside the writer’s popular novels in
the adult literature section.
Includes illustrations in color and black-and-white by Leslie Le Pere, •
Robbins’ long-time cover artist; McSweeney’s will design and package
B Is for Beer.
Tom Robbins is the author of eight novels. When not roaming,
he lives in the Seattle area.

Seven Notebooks
Campbell McGrath
A full-bodied new collection, with a depth of voice
and range that signals a fresh, ambitious direction
in the work of this widely acclaimed, award-winning
young poet
Seven Notebooks includes distinct poetic sequences that offer
diverse reflections on the world as it is seen, known, imag-
ined, and dreamed; our lives as they are felt, thought, desired,
and lived. Not a novel in verse, not a poetic journal, but a
lyric chronicle, Seven Notebooks provides a season by season
accounting of a year in the life of its narrator, from spring in
Chicago to summer at the Jersey shore to winter in Miami
Beach. It reclaims poetry territory long abandoned to prose, a
characteristic ambition of Campbell McGrath, one of the most
honored, accessible, and humanistically engaged poets of our
time.
“McGrath’s imagination is large, complex, and entertaining.”
—Robert Pinsky, Washington Post
“A marvelous example of Mr. McGrath’s formal gifts, his genial humor,
and his tremendous descriptive powers...tweaking his reputation as a
latter-day Whitman.” —New York Sun
Campbell McGrath’s previous collections are Capitalism,
American Noise, Spring Comes to Chicago, Road Atlas, Florida
Poems, and Pax Atomica. His awards include the Kingsley Tufts
Prize and fellowships from the Guggenheim and MacArthur
Foundations. He teaches in the creative writing program at
Florida International University in Miami.

Eco Barons
THE DREAMERS, SCHEMERS, AND
MILLIONAIRES WHO ARE SAVING OUR PLANET
Edward Humes
Pulitzer Prize-winner and bestselling author
Edward Humes examines a crucial crossroads in
environmental preservation—and the remarkable
steps taken by philanthropists and visionaries who
dedicate their lives to saving land from destruction
In the tradition of Rockefeller and Carnegie and the storied
initiatives that saved Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand
Tetons a century ago, comes a new generation of conservation-
ists determined to save pristine wilderness and combat the
worldwide extinction crisis.
They are The Eco Barons. They include the founder
of Esprit and former CEO of Patagonia, Doug and Kristine
Tompkins, who have preserved immense portions of South
American rain forest, while providing millions for environmen-
talism in the U.S. There is Roxanne Quimby, who built the
billion-dollar Burt’s Bees from a log cabin in the vast woods of
Maine—which she is now battling to preserve. And there are
Peter Galvin and Kieran Suckling, former Forest Service owl
counters who created the nation’s most effective environmental
organization—protecting record numbers of endangered spe-
cies, and forcing the Bush Administration to admit that global
warming is real.
Eco Barons is about people from all walks of life making
real change. Edward Humes’s impressive skills as a journalist
bring this inspiring and important story to life.
Edward Humes is the author of eight critically-acclaimed non-
fiction books including the bestseller Mississippi Mud and, most
recently, Monkey Girl. He has received the Pulitzer Prize for his
journalism and is writer-at-large for Los Angeles magazine. He
lives in California.

INVESTIGATIONS INTO GHOSTS, TELEPATHY,
POLTERGEISTS, CLAIRVOYANCE, AND OTHER
PHENOMENA OF THE UNSEEN WORLD
Stacy Horn
NPR contributor Stacy Horn investigates science’s
first attempts to prove—or disprove—the existence
of the paranormal, bringing to light a half-century’s
worth of ghost stories, poltergeists, and paranormal
activity
Rain barrels that refill themselves. Psychic horses. Mind-reading
Cold War spies. For many, these phenomena are evidence of an
unseen world just beyond our grasp, and for a group of scien-
tists at Duke University, it was evidence that demanded further
investigation. From 1930 to 1980, under the leadership of Dr.
JB Rhine—the Einstein of the paranormal—these scientists
were queried by the likes of Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon,
Aldous Huxley, Carl Jung, and Helen Keller; the US Army, IBM,
and Zenith seized upon their findings. Science’s forays into the
paranormal would be a multi-decade battle between unyield-
ing critics, die-hard believers, and scientists themselves. In 50
years, much remained unexplained—and yet Horn reveals that
between the power of belief and the promise that science will
keep exploring, there is room for everyone to acknowledge that
the truth is out there.
Praise for Th e ResTless sleep:
“Masterful storytelling.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Gripping.” —Entertainment Weekly
“[Combines] awe-fueled curiosity [with] top-flight reporting skills.”
—Mary Roach, bestselling author of Spook
Stacy Horn, a contributor to NPR’s All Things Considered, is
the author of The Restless Sleep, Waiting for My Cats to Die: A
Memoir, and Cyberville. She lives in New York City.

The Scenic Route
A NOVEL
Binnie Kirshenbaum
From the author of An Almost Perfect Moment
comes a darkly comic novel about fallible people,
faulty memories, and the power of story-telling as a
way to make sense of love and life gone wrong
“This is the story of Henry and me. I wish it had a different end,”
Sylvia Landsman begins what is, in part, the story of her ill-fated
romance. Divorced, alone, and unexpectedly unemployed, Sylvia
escapes to Italy where she meets Henry, a middle-aged expatri-
ate. Henry lives a tony life for which he pays a steep price: the
chance to be happy. His wife’s money bankrolling nights in grand
hotels, sumptuous meals, and fine wine, Henry and Sylvia travel
a circuitous route. Sylvia entertains Henry with stories which, by
the twists and turns inherent to story-telling, unfold into stories of
her peculiar family, and her damaged friends, Alma Mahler, dead
ducks. A tapestry of remembrances and regrets, these narrative
threads come to foreshadow Sylvia’s shame: Having betrayed her
best friend through a small, cowardly sin of omission. Yet when the
opportunity arises for Sylvia and Henry to do something brave, the
refrain of “if only” haunts Sylvia and leaves her with one more story
of love lived, and lost.
As ever in Kirshenbaum’s work, her compassion and consider-
ation for her deeply flawed characters is palpable. Whether recount-
ing episodes of adultery, issues of mortality, and other human frail-
ties, her writing is fresh, dark, and hilarious.
Binnie Kirshenbaum is the author of An Almost Perfect
Moment, On Mermaid Avenue, A Disturbance in One Place, Pure
Poetry, Hester Among the Ruins, and History on a Personal Note.
She teaches at Columbia University’s Graduate School of the
Arts.

Me, Cheeta
MY LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD
Cheeta the Chimp
The grandaddy of all Hollywood animals tells his
remarkable true life story from the Golden Age of
the Silver Screen. Cheeta the Chimp, star of the
Tarzan films, bares all—as only he can
The greatest Hollywood Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller, died in
1984. Maureen O’Sullivan, his Jane, died in 1998. Johnny
Sheffield, who first played Boy in the 1939 film Tarzan Finds
a Son, is gone too. But Cheeta the Chimp, who starred with
them all, is alive and well, and retired in Palm Springs. At the
incredible age of 75, he is by far the oldest living chimpanzee
ever recorded.
Now, in his own words, Cheeta (aka Jiggs) finally tells
his extraordinary story. Cheeta shares it all, from his humble
beginnings as an ape stolen from deepest Africa forced to make
a living in the fake jungles of Hollywood. He tells us too of his
journey beyond the screen: his struggle with drink and addiction
to cigars; his breakthrough with a radical new form of abstract
painting, ‘Apeism’; his touching relationship with his grandson
Jeeta; and his battle with diabetes.
Funny, moving, searingly honest, Cheeta transports us
back to a lost Hollywood. He is a real star, and this is the great-
est celebrity memoir of recent times.
Cheeta the Chimp was just a baby when he was snatched from
the jungle of Liberia in 1932 by the great animal importer Henry
Trefflich. In 1934, Cheeta appeared in his first of many Tarzan
movies, Tarzan and His Mate. Cheeta finally retired from the big
screen after the 1967 film Doctor Dolittle with Rex Harrison.
The oldest living chimpanzee ever recorded, Cheeta is retired in
Palm Springs, where he is still a hit with the ladies.

Dear Husband,
STORIES
Joyce Carol Oates
A gripping and moving new collection of stories by
Joyce Carol Oates, which re-imagines the meaning of
family—often through violent means
Sixteen stories that examine, with the unflinching candor and
sympathy for which Joyce Carol Oates is celebrated, the inti-
mate lives of contemporary American families: the tangled ties
between generations, the desperation—and the covert, radi-
ant happiness—of loving more than one is loved in return. In
“Landfill,” the bond between adolescent son and mother rever-
berates with the force of an unspoken passion, bringing unex-
pected consequences. In “Magda Maria,” a man tries to break
free of his enthralling and dangerous erotic obsession. In the
gripping title story, Oates boldly reimagines the true-crime story
of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her several
children in 2001. Several stories—“Suicide by Fitness Center,”
“The Glazers,” and “Dear Joyce Carol,”—take a less tragic turn,
exploring with mordant humor the shadowy interstices between
self-awareness and delusion.
Dramatic, intensely rendered, and always provocative,
Dear Husband, provides an unsettling and fascinating look into
the mysterious heart of America.
Joyce Carol Oates has written some of the most enduring fic-
tion of our time, including the national bestsellers We Were the
Mulvaneys and Blonde (a finalist for the National Book Award),
and the New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the
2005 Prix Femina) and The Gravedigger’s Daughter.

Catherine the Great
Simon Dixon
A complete and revealing portrait of Catherine
the Great, chronicling her rise to power and her
remarkable reign as empress of Russia
In 1745, a little-known German princess, Sophie of Anhalt-
Zerbst, married the nephew of Empress Elizabeth of Russia.
Seventeen years later, she overthrew her husband to become
Catherine the Great, the most celebrated monarch in Europe,
turning 18th-century Russia into the largest state since the fall
of the Roman Empire, and one of the most powerful.
Admired for her achievements and satirized for her person-
al life, she wrote the most revealing memoirs by any European
ruler. She promoted radical political ideas and emphasized
moderation in government. Ruthless when necessary, she
charmed everyone she met, joking at private dinner parties in
the Hermitage, which she had built for herself. Determined to
endear herself to the Russians, she spent much time making
religious devotions in which she never believed.
For the first time, Catherine will be placed in the context
of a colorful court culture that was central to her exercise of
absolute power and crucial to her personal life. Simon Dixon
discusses not only the politics of the court, but also the lifelong
friendships that helped to sustain the empress through good
and bad times, and we see her in the fabulous surroundings of
the palaces in whose design she took a personal interest.
Simon Dixon is Professor of Modern History at the University
of Leeds in England. He specializes in the history of Imperial
Russia, focusing on the 18th century and the Russian Orthodox
Church. He is regularly invited to lecture on Russian culture to
general audiences in Europe and the United States.

As the snow melts and the spring approaches, the animal king-
dom awakens. In Summer World, Bernd Heinrich, bestselling
author of Winter World, bring us an up-close and personal view
of that awakening and rebirth. Almost all life on the surface of
the earth derives its energy from the sun, either directly through
photosynthesis or indirectly by consuming plants, making sum-
mer the time when nature is most active—feeding, fighting,
mating and nesting. From frogs, wasps, and caterpillars to
hummingbirds and woodpeckers, Heinrich explores these ani-
mals’ adaptations for surviving and procreating during the short
window of summer, and he delights in the seemingly infinite
feats of animal inventiveness he discovers there. Beautifully
illustrated throughout with the author’s drawings and infused
with his inexhaustible enchantment with nature, Summer World
encourages a sense of wonder and discovery for the natural
world and its busiest season: summer.
Harper Perennial will reissue a repackaged edition of • Winter World
with PS in Winter 2009. See page 57 Harper Perennial catalog.
Bernd Heinrich is the author of numerous books and has
received countless honors. He also writes for Scientific American,
Audubon, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times. He is
professor emeritus of Biology at the University of Vermont.
Heinrich divides his time between Vermont and the forests of
western Maine.

The Collector of Worlds
A NOVEL OF SIR RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON
Iliya Troyanov
Translated by Will Hobson
A stunning fictionalized account of the infamous life
of British colonial officer and translator Sir Richard
Francis Burton
This fictionalized account imagines the life of Sir Richard
Francis Burton—a 19th-century British colonial officer with
a rare ability to assimilate into indigenous cultures. Burton’s
obsessive travelling took him from England to British India,
Arabia, and on a quest for the source of the Nile River in Africa.
He learned more than 20 languages, translated One Thousand
and One Arabian Nights and the Kama Sutra, and took part in
the pilgrimage to Mecca, in addition to writing several travel
books.
This elegant, layered novel tells the story of Burton’s
adventures in British West India, his experience on the Hajj to
Mecca, and his exploration of East Africa. In each section, per-
spective shifts between Burton and the voices of those men he
encounters along the way: his Indian servant tells the stories of
his travails with Burton to a scribe; the qadi, the governor, and
the shari in Mecca investigate Burton’s Hajj; and Sidi Mubarek
Bombay, his African guide, shares his story with friends in
Zanzibar. The concentric narratives examine the underbelly of
Colonialism while offering a breathtaking tour of the 19th cen-
tury’s most stunning landscapes.
The Collector of Worlds• won the fiction Prize of Germany’s Leipzig
Book Fair in 2006, the Berlin Literary Award and was a bestseller in
Germany.
Born in Bulgaria, Iliya Troyanov has lived in Germany, Kenya,
India and South Africa. He has written several novels as well as
travelogues on Africa, India and Bulgaria. His Along the Ganges
was included in Condé Nast’s list of the best travelogues ever.
Troyanov lives in Vienna, Austria.

Heart of the Game
LIFE, DEATH, AND MERCY IN MINOR LEAGUE
AMERICA
S. L. Price
From the author of Pitching Around Fidel comes
a tragic—but ultimately uplifting—account of the
accidental death of minor league first base coach
Mike Coolbaugh, illustrating the many ways in
which baseball still has a hold on America
This season’s Friday Night Lights, Heart of the Game centers
around the death of Mike Coolbaugh, a minor league coach
who was killed in July of 2007 by a foul ball rocketed off Tino
Sanchez’s bat. Coolbaugh died instantly, his body carted off
the field of the Double-A Arkansas Travelers on a suffocating
Sunday evening in Little Rock. He was 35 years old and the
father of two with a third child on the way.
Mike’s exemplary life—his devotion to game, family,
church—is the spine of the book. But it isn’t the drama. The
drama is in telling the story of what can happen when a projec-
tile hits the wrong place on the human body, in telling of the
lives being lived up until that fatal moment, of the remarkable
people who happened to be in the ballpark that night.
The book will reveal anew that classic heart of Americana—
small-town sports, small-town lives—and make us understand
that a game played away from the mindless churn of Internet
blather and highlight shows can be more important than those
played on the national stage.
Harper Perennial will publish Price’s • Far Afield in Winter 2009. See
page 60 of the Harper Perennial catalog.
A senior writer at Sports Illustrated since 1994, S. L. Price
has written two books, including Pitching Around Fidel, which
was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. He lives in
Washington, D.C. with his family.

The Ecco Anthology of
International Poetry
Edited by Ilya Kaminsky and
Susan Harris of Words Without Borders
A selection of the finest international poetry from
the 20th century in the best English translations
available
In The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry, introduced and
edited by Ilya Kaminsky and Susan Harris, poetic visions from
the 20th century will be reinforced and in many ways revised.
Alongside renowned masters, there will be many new discov-
eries—internationally celebrated poets who have rarely, if ever,
been translated into English. In conjunction with the organiza-
tion Words Without Borders—an online haven for international
literature and an ally to writers all over the world—Ecco pres-
ents a paperback anthology that will surely serve as a canonical
touchstone in the field of poetics, bringing voices from afar to
American readers.
As aptly put in Words Without Borders’ mission state-
ment, this collection also serves as part of “the ultimate aim
to introduce exciting international writing to the general and
literary public—travelers, teachers, students, publishers, and a
new generation of eclectic readers—by presenting international
literature not as a static, elite phenomenon, but a portal through
which to explore the world.”
Susan Harris is the Editorial Director of Word Without
Borders. She is the former director and editor in chief of
Northwestern University Press and the founding editor of its
Hydra imprint of literature in translation. Ilya Kaminsky is the
Poetry Editor of Words Without Borders. His awards include a
Ruth Lilly Fellowship from Poetry magazine and first place in the
National Russian Essay Contest. He is the author of Dancing In
Odessa which won the Dorset Prize.

Ruth Peltason
Foreword by Peter I. Pressman, M.D., F.A.C.S.,
coauthor of Breast Cancer: The Complete Guide
“Buy it if you or anyone you love is battling
breast cancer.” —Self
I Am Not My Breast Cancer gathers the warm, loving, frank,
and informed voices of more than 800 women who reveal their
fears, share experiences, trade advice, and express their deep-
est, most intimate concerns. Nothing before this groundbreak-
ing book has captured the real experience of breast cancer, and
it is essential reading for any woman with this diagnosis. Taking
the reader chronologically through the stages of diagnosis, treat-
ment, recovery, and self-discovery, I Am Not My Breast Cancer

with cancer. Remarkably, it helps them emerge with grace and
optimism and a determination not to be defined by disease.
“Ruth Peltason’s I Am Not My Breast Cancer is a platform for women
to speak candidly about the disease’s impact on their lives.”
—Vanity Fair
“Brings a sense of community to the reader, preventing her from feel-
ings of isolation. One immediately begins to understand better the
impact of this disease and no longer feels alone.”
—Evelyn H. Lauder, Founder and Chairman, The Breast Cancer
Research Foundation

Tropic of Night
A NOVEL
Michael Gruber
“Michael Gruber’s Jimmy Paz trilogy is like settling
down with a Gabriel García Márquez novel—if it
were written by James M. Cain.” —Denver Post
Jane Doe was a promising anthropologist, now she’s nothing,
a shadow. After faking her own suicide, she’s living under an
assumed identity in Miami with a little girl to protect. Everyone
thinks she’s dead. Or so she hopes.
Then the killings start, a series of murders that terrifies all
of Miami. The investigator is Jimmy Paz, a Cuban-American
police detective. There are witnesses, but they can recall almost
nothing of the events, as though their memories have been
erased—as if a spell has been cast on each of them. The string
of clues Paz uncovers points inexorably toward the fugitive, Jane
Doe, and forces Jane to realize the darkness she fled is hunting
her down.
Michael Gruber’s first book to be published in trade paperback, • The
Book of Air and Shadows, hit the New York Times bestseller list.
Harper paperbacks will publish Gruber’s • Forgery of Venus in April 2009
and will reissue all three books in Gruber’s Jimmy Paz trilogy in 2009.
“A blockbuster. . . . Just when it looks as if detective fiction has
plowed every gory, suspenseful possibility, along comes a novel that
raises the stakes on the genre.” —People
“Bold, provocative, and frightening . . . An extraordinary debut.”
—USA Today
Michael Gruber has been a marine biologist, restaurant cook,
a federal government official, and a political speechwriter. The
author of five acclaimed novels, he lives in Seattle.

The Ladies’
Lending Library
A NOVEL
Janice Kulyk Keefer
A portrait of women caught between countries,
cultures, and aspirations—a bittersweet tale, set in
the 1960s, of mothers, daughters, friends, and lovers
during one unforgettable summer
August 1963: the year of the sensational release of Cleopatra.
The women of Kalyna Beach, part of a group of first-generation
Ukrainian Canadians, prepare for their annual the end-of-season
party. Their days are ruled by the predictable rhythms of chil-
dren and chores, but lightened by the “racy” books they trade
among themselves and by their gatherings for gin and gossip.
But this is the summer when everything will change for the
girls and women of Kalyna Beach, as innocence gives way to a
sense of larger possibilities. Richly evocative, beautifully told,
The Ladies’ Lending Library will resonate with anyone who has
longed for the sweet and heady days of bygone summers and the
risky promises of change.
Twice nominated for the Governor General’s Award (for • The Green
Library and Under Eastern Eyes), Janice Kulyk Keefer has won the
Marian Engel Award and many other prizes, including the CAA Award
for Poetry, the CBC Radio Literary Competition Award, and the
National Magazine Award.
“A masterful rendering of a group of women in crisis…. A penetrating
tableau of a community brought to life.” —National Post (Canada)
“A delight . . . . Voices that are instantly believable, desires that are
familiar and values that are shifting under the sands of summer . . . .
I was mesmerized by The Ladies’ Lending Library.”
—Owen Sound Sun Times (Ontario)
Janice Kulyk Keefer is a bestselling Canadian author widely
admired for her novels, short story collections, poetry, and non-
fiction. The Ladies’ Lending Library is her fifth novel and the first
to be published in the United States. She lives in Toronto.

Chechen Jihad
AL QAEDA’S TRAINING GROUND AND THE
NEXT WAVE OF TERROR
Yossef Bodansky
The author who introduced readers to Osama Bin
Laden before 9/11 returns to sound the alarm on a
terrifying new terrorist threat we face
Think the next attacks are coming from the Middle East? Think
again. One of the most respected experts on radical Islamism in
the world today returns to alert American readers to the future
course of Islamist extremism in a war-torn Chechnya.
In Chechen Jihad, Bodansky draws on mountains of pre-
viously unseen intelligence to offer an intimate and startling
portrait of the jihadist movement that is astonishing in its detail
and chilling in its implications. As he reveals, the final years of
U.S.-Soviet relations left Chechnya a fertile breeding ground
for Islamic terrorism, and in the past decade an uneasy alliance
of native Chechen separatists and militant jihadists have joined
forces to help al Qaeda pursue its war against the west.
Chechen Jihad is a book no concerned citizen can afford to miss.
“ A genuinely important, authoritative, and enduring work . . . immensely
readable.” —Strategic Policy
Yossef Bodansky was the director of the Congressional Task
Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare for sixteen
years. He is a former senior consultant for the U.S. Department
of Defense and the U.S. Department of State. The author of ten
books including the #1 New York Times bestseller Bin Laden:
The Man Who Declared War on America, he divides his time
between the Middle East and the Washington, D.C., area.

On a Raven’s Wing
NEW TALES IN HONOR OF EDGAR ALLAN POE BY MARY
HIGGINS CLARK, THOMAS H. COOK, JAMES W. HALL, RUPERT
HOLMES, S. J. ROZAN, DON WINSLOW, AND FOURTEEN
OTHERS
Edited by Stuart M. Kaminsky
A collection of 20 original stories inspired by Edgar
Allan Poe, written by well-known mystery writers, to
commemorate the 200th anniversary of Poe’s birth
Written almost two centuries ago, Edgar Allan Poe’s tales of
mystery and murder still have an uncanny ability to curdle our
blood. Their chilling effect has left not one corner of modern
culture untouched, working their eerie magic on readers of all
stripes, from academics to movie makers to fellow writers of
suspense and terror.
Collected here to honor the 200th anniversary of Poe’s
birth are tales that take their inspiration from the thriller master
himself. With contributions by Grand Masters Mary Higgins
Clark, Dorothy Salisbury Davis, Edward D. Hoch, and Stuart
M. Kaminsky, among others, this anthology is a fitting tribute
to the harrowing work of a beloved literary genius.
William Morrow will simultaneously publish • In the Shadow of the
Master, a hardcover collection of 16 of Poe’s most famous stories,
edited by Michael Connelly, with 20 accompanying essays by thriller
writers including Stephen King and Sue Grafton. See page 12 of the
William Morrow catalog.
Founded in 1945, the Mystery Writers of America is the
foremost organization for mystery writers and other profession-
als dedicated to the field of crime writing. Each year the MWA
bestows the Edgar® Awards, which honor the outstanding works
in the genre for the previous year.
Stuart M. Kaminsky is the author of more than 60 mystery
novels. He lives with his wife and family in Sarasota, Florida.

God Save the Fan
HOW PREENING SPORTSCASTERS, ATHLETES WHO
SPEAK IN THE THIRD PERSON, AND THE OCCASIONAL
CONVICTED QUARTERBACK HAVE TAKEN THE FUN OUT
OF SPORTS (AND HOW WE CAN GET IT BACK)
Will Leitch
“If you can’t find something to laugh at and be
offended by on the same page of this book, you
aren’t reading carefully enough.”
—Washington Post Book World
In his scathing and hilarious manifesto, Leitch serves as the
mouthpiece for countless frustrated fans who are desper-
ate to wrest their games away from the control of big money,
unquenchable egos, sportscasters (he’s looking at you, ESPN)
who endlessly recycle “hip and clever” catchphrases, the ridicu-
lousness of fantasy leagues and yellow bracelets, and why the
debate about steroids is ultimately meaningless.
Filled with lists, glossaries, invented halls of fame, and
much more, this rallying cry is about one thing: fan empower-
ment. And no one is better positioned than Leitch to puncture
today’s out of control jockocracy and offer a blueprint for how
to put the fun back into our games.
The paperback edition will contain new essays by Will Leitch, includ-•
ing one on his showdown with Buzz Bissinger on HBO’s Real Sports.
More than eleven million readers log onto Leitch’s blog deadspin.com •
each month.
“Spectacularly irreverent . . . Piercingly insightful.” —Newsday
“A witty poke in the eye to the entire sports-industrial complex.”
—Sports Illustrated
The founding editor of Deadspin.
com, Will Leitch has written
for the New York Times, Time,
New York magazine, Slate, Salon,
Playboy, and other media outlets,
and is the author of the young
adult novel Catch, and Life as a

IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS BY
UNDERSTANDING HOW MEN AND WOMEN
COPE DIFFERENTLY WITH STRESS
John Gray, Ph.D.
The phenomenal #1 bestselling relationship author
returns to the territory he knows intimately to
help couples get past stress and find the loving
relationship they want
Once upon a time, Venusians and Martians functioned in sepa-
rate worlds. But today they each struggle in the same hectic,
career-oriented environment. Exhausted by the time they get

the events of her day. The result: anger and resentment as Mars
and Venus collide. In this positive, practical guide, John Gray
explains the different ways men and women are affected by
stress, demonstrates how each approach their problems, and
offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap and
help them achieve a loving, nurturing relationship.
“The bestselling book of the 1990s” (• USA Today) Men Are from Mars,
Women Are from Venus is the pivotal classic relationship book of its
time. A New York Times bestseller for nearly five years, it has been
translated into more than 40 languages and has sold more than seven
million copies in the U.S. alone.
John Gray, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized expert in the
fields of communication and relationships and the author of 15
books. He conducts personal-growth seminars and writes “Mars
Venus Advice,” a weekly syndicated column for the Tribune
Media Services. A contributing editor with a monthly column in

The Somnambulist
A NOVEL
Jonathan Barnes
“Strange, outrageous, and wonderful . . . An original
and monumentally inventive piece of work.”
—Washington Post
The Somnambulist follows the extraordinary tale of Edward
Moon, stage magician and detective, and his silent sidekick
the Somnambulist. A bizarre series of murders unsettles turn-
of-the-century London, but as Moon begins to investigate, he
realizes it is only the beginning: nourished by blood and poetry,
an eerie uprising grows among the very roots of the city.
With a gallery of vividly grotesque characters, a richly
evoked setting, and a highly literary and playful style, The
Somnambulist is an amazingly addictive, brilliant debut novel
from a rising new star.
Jonathan Barnes’ next book, • The Domino Men, will be published by
William Morrow in February 2009. See page 33 of the William Morrow
catalog.
“The best fantasy novel of the year.” —Rocky Mountain News
“Old school entertainment in the penny-dreadful tradition that almost
succeeds in being as sublime as it is ridiculous.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Brilliant…. Barnes crafts one of the finest first novels of the young
century, creating an exciting, memorable book…. Truly surprising
plot twists and red herrings abound.” —Austin Chronicle
“A comic extravaganza, deftly plotted, fiendishly clever, and wonder-
fully funny. . . . One of the classiest entertainments I’ve read in a
long, long time.”
—Christopher Bram, author of Exiles in America
Jonathan Barnes is a graduate of Oxford University and reviews
for the Times Literary Supplement. He lives in London.

Love Beyond Life
THE HEALING POWER OF AFTER-DEATH
COMMUNICATION
Joel Martin and Patricia Romanowski
“Whether science can explain the contacts doesn’t
matter to people who receive a communication: The
contact is comforting and offers guidance and even
life-saving information.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
Drawing on years of research into bereavement and after-death
communications, Joel Martin and Patricia Romanowski, authors
of We Don’t Die and We Are Not Forgotten, demonstrate the
healing power of deathbed visions, dream visitations, appari-
tions, and other after-death phenomena. Love Beyond Life will
show you how to recognize and enhance after-death communi-
cations, how to understand their meaning and purpose, and how
to use them to attain comfort, peace and acceptance.
“Every time I feel sad or wish my brother was here to hug me, •
no matter where I am, I hear his favorite song on the radio.”
“I’d had an angel wing begonia that I’d gotten shortly after my •
mother died . . . After the first year it never bloomed again
until fifteen years later . . . after learning I’d miscarried . . . I
was thinking how much I missed my mother. Then I noticed
the plant was in full bloom.”
“I am a HUGE fan of Joel Martin and Patricia Romanowski—ever
since I first read We Don’t Die and We Are Not Forgotten. This is
another book that I wholeheartedly recommend, that brings peace
and understanding to those who have lost loved ones.”
—Concetta Bertoldi, author of Do Dead People Watch You Shower?
Joel Martin is a paranormal expert who discovered international-
ly renowned medium George Anderson. Patricia Romanowski
is a leading author in the field of paranormal communication
whose work has appeared in the New York Times Book Review
and Rolling Stone. They are the authors of We Don’t Die and
We Are Not Forgotten.

The Queen’s Sorrow
A TUDOR QUEEN'S LOVE DENIED
Suzannah Dunn
A gripping new novel from the author of The
Sixth Wife, about a queen brought low by love
compromised and power abused
Plain, dutiful, Mary Tudor was the most powerful woman
England had ever known—its first ruling queen. Her trium-
phant coronation caused such jubilation in London as has never
been seen before or since. And yet even a queen is powerless
over men’s hearts. Mary’s husband, Philip of Spain, cares noth-
ing for his broody, besotted new wife, and the public joy with
which she is crowned soon sours as religious dissidence splits
the largely Protestant country from its fanatically Catholic
queen. Lonely, depressed and increasingly paranoid, to what
lengths will Mary go for faith and family—and for the heir she
so desperately wants? And how far can she push her subjects
before they start to push back?
“Bloody Mary’s” tragic story is seen through the eyes of
Rafael, a Spanish retainer unwillingly posted to gloomy, frac-
tious England. As the once-fêted queen tightens her cruel hold
on the nation, Rafael will become the one person she trusts and
his life—and newfound love—will be caught in the chaos.
“Suzannah Dunn . . . weaves a kind of love story that is both moving
and believable. This is the Tudor world as seldom seen.”
—Daily Telegraph (UK)
Suzannah Dunn is the author of ten novels in the UK. She
lives in Brighton.

The Redbreast
A NOVEL
Jo Nesbø
“An elegant and complex thriller. . . . Nesbø’s book
eloquently uses its multiple horrors to advance a
disturbing argument: suppressing history is an open
invitation for history to repeat itself.”
—New York Times Book Review
Moving from the waning months of World War II to the pres-
ent, from the icy steppes of the Russian front to contemporary
South Africa, The Redbreast is an ambitious and utterly compel-
ling story of war, love, and betrayal wrapped in a crime mystery.
It is the tale of a legendary war hero who sacrificed his life in
the name of freedom, and an off-the rails alcoholic modern cop
named Harry Hole whose life is drawn into a mystery with roots
deep in the past…and into the crosshairs of a killer who holds
the key to everything.
A sensation around the world, this shocking and heart-
breaking novel will keep readers guessing until the very end.
The Redbreast• won The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel, The
Riverton Prize, and Norway’s Booksellers Prize.
Harper will publish Jo Nesbø’s next novel, • Nemesis, in January 2009.
See page 11 of the Harper catalog.
“This is a fine novel, ambitious in concept, skillful in execution. . . . The
Redbreast certainly ranks with the best of current American crime
fiction.” —Washington Post Book World
“Nesbø’s scenes are so vivid that you can imagine them playing across
the big screen. The pacing is swift. The plot is precise and intricate.
The characters are intriguing.” —USA Today
“Nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better
than a Scandinavian thriller writer.” —Vogue
Jo Nesbø is a musician, songwriter, economist, and author. His
first crime novel featuring Harry Hole was published in Norway
in 1997 and was an instant hit, winning the Glass Key Award for
best Nordic crime novel (an accolade shared with Peter Høeg,
Henning Mankell, and Karin Fossum).

A Pale Horse
A NOVEL OF SUSPENSE
Charles Todd
“One of the best historical series being written today.”
—Washington Post Book World
On a spring night in 1920, a body lies in the ruins of Yorkshire’s
Fountains Abbey, swathed in a hooded cloak and wearing a gas
mask. The police quickly arrest a suspect.
Meanwhile, a man has vanished from a cottage miles away
in Berkshire. No one—except for the British War Office—wants
him found.
As Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge strives to protect
what might be an innocent man in one case, cottagers living in
the shadow of the great chalk figure of a horse are being stalked
by death in the other. Haunted by his own past, Rutledge must
uncover a shocking truth and stop a merciless killer in time.
William Morrow will publish Charles Todd’s next novel, • A Matter of
Justice, in January 2009. See page 11 of the William Morrow catalog.

tion their literary chores, the mother and son who write together
as Charles Todd clearly share an affinity for quiet souls haunted by
unquiet memories.”
—New York Times Book Review
“This delightful series offers pure detection and rich ambience....The
spirit of Agatha Christie lives.”
—Otto Penzler in the New York Sun

HOW 25 SCREENPLAYS MADE IT TO A THEATER
NEAR YOU—FOR BETTER OR WORSE
David S. Cohen
A behind-the scenes look at how 25 Hollywood
scripts evolved from the drawing board to the big
screen—from blockbusters like American Beauty and
Gladiator to duds like Pay It Forward
38 FEBRUARY • HARPER ENTERTAINMENT PAPERBACKS
In this fascinating survey of contemporary screen craft, Variety’s
David S. Cohen leads readers down the long and harrowing
road every screenplay takes from idea to script to screen. In
interviews with Hollywood screenwriters from Oscar winners
to first-timers, Cohen explores what sets the blockbuster suc-
cesses apart from the downright disasters.
Tracing the fortunes of 25 films, including huge studio
hits, tiny indie labors of love, and everything in between, Cohen
demonstrates that the story of how a script is written, sold,
developed, and filmed can be just as dramatic and intriguing as
the movie itself.
Covering films of all kinds—from tongue-in-cheek romps
like John Waters’s A Dirty Shame to serious Oscar® winners like
Monster’s Ball—Screen Plays is an anecdote-filled, often inspir-
ing, and revealing look at the alchemy of the movie business.

Manic
A MEMOIR
Terri Cheney
“Cheney’s chilling account of her struggle with
bipolar disorder brilliantly evokes the brutal nature
of her disease . . . . Edgy, dark, and often cynical,
Manic . . . has heart and soul to spare.” —People
39 FEBRUARY • HARPER PAPERBACKS
© Suzanne Allison
One minute Terri Cheney is crouched beneath her desk in her
Beverly Hills law firm, paralyzed by depression; the next she is
flying kites off the edge of a cliff in Big Sur in a violent thunder-
storm. One minute she’s overdosing on painkillers and tequila,
the next she’s falling madly in love. Bright, beautiful, and highly
successful, Cheney, like 10 million other Americans, suffers
from bipolar disorder, a terrible secret that nearly killed her.
In this harrowing yet ultimately hopeful memoir, she
reveals the manifestations and effects of this devastating illness
on herself and those around her as she struggles between the
dark depths of depression and the reckless heights of mania.
Manic is an unforgettable, mood-swing-to-mood-swing roller-
coaster ride of a life lived in extremes.
The paperback will be updated with a resource section.•
In hardcover, • Manic hit the New York Times bestseller list for four
weeks and Los Angeles Times bestseller list for three weeks.
Television rights have been sold to HBO for development as a new series.•
“Cheney’s book is a gut-churning ride.” —Los Angeles Times
“Cheney...writes with passionate clarity about depression and the lure
of suicide but with especially keen intensity about mania.”
—Boston Globe
Terri Cheney specialized in intellectual property and entertain-
ment law and represented celebrity clients and major motion
picture studios. She now devotes her talents to the cause of
mental illness. She was recently a member of the Community
Advisory Board of the UCLA Mood Disorders Research Program,
and founded a weekly community support group at UCLA’s
Neuropsychiatric Institute. She lives in Los Angeles.

I, Che Guevara
A NOVEL
John Blackthorn
A political thriller that imagines: What if Che
Guevara survived and returned to Cuba when
Castro steps down from power?
A mysterious elderly stranger appears in rural towns around
Cuba, quietly advocating a new kind of politics he calls “the
true republic.” Old-timers begin to suspect that the stranger,
who calls himself Ernesto Blanco, may actually be the martyr
Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Then Fidel Castro steps down from
power in exchange for recognition from the United States, con-
ditioned upon free elections.
Two traditional parties are formed: One is a successor to
the Communist Party and the other is composed of U.S./Mafia-
backed Cuban exiles. As the True Republic movement spreads
like wildfire throughout Cuba, each faction devises a plot to get
rid of Ernesto Blanco—by assassination if necessary.
Stephen Soderbergh’s (• Traffic) duel biopics The Argentine and
Guerrilla, starring Benicio Del Toro, will draw new interest in the
famous revolutionary leader. The films are slated for Fall ‘08 release.
The Argentine will focus on the Cuban revolution and Guerrilla will
cover the years following the revolution. Del Toro has already won the
Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his portrayal of Che.
“A thoughtful espionage story . . . plenty of suspense and action.”
—The Washington Post
“Heart-stopping fiction.” —William Safire, New York Times
“A taut, well-written thriller that makes the reader think while it enter-
tains.” —The Denver Post
John Blackthorn is the pseudonym of a political figure whose
name is known in international capitals and intelligence circles.
He has extensive experience in international politics—especially
U.S., Russian, and Cuban relations—as well as an insider’s
knowledge of intelligence methods and operations.

Body Copy
A NOVEL
Michael Craven
Meet Donald Tremaine, a kindred spirit to both
Chandler’s Philip Marlowe and MacDonald’s Travis
McGee, living in present-day Malibu—an ex-surfer
private investigator who brings the PI novel into the
21st century
“Funny, tense, smart...Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiassen should be
proud, there’s finally a writer to carry on their tradition.”
—James Frey
Donald Tremaine used to be the #1 surfer in the world, but he
left the sport at the top of his game, moved to a trailer park in
Malibu, and became a private investigator. When Nina Aldeen
asks for his help in solving her uncle’s murder—a case that
baffled police and a year later still remains unsolved—Tremaine
doesn’t hesitate to take it; he can’t say no to a difficult case. Or
a beautiful woman.
Nina’s uncle, Roger Gale, a famous and accomplished
advertising mogul, was found dead in his Los Angeles office,
and all the leads are cold—from his staff to his icy, high soci-
ety wife to the advertising exec who spent his career trying to
replicate Roger’s success. But the deeper Tremaine digs into
the case and the more he learns about the secrets Gale kept—
the more it looks like the most complicated case of Tremaine’s
career may prove to be his last.
Michael Craven is an award-winning advertising writer who
has worked for some of the most
creative agencies in the country.
His career has taken him from
New York City to Los Angeles to
Boulder, Colorado, where he cur-
rently lives and works. Michael
grew up in Jacksonville, Florida.
Body Copy is his first novel.

War and Decision
INSIDE THE PENTAGON AT THE DAWN OF
THE WAR ON TERRORISM
Douglas J. Feith
The definitive inside story of the Bush Administration’s
war on terrorism: the truth behind the critical
decisions that shaped America’s path to war
War and Decision is Douglas J. Feith’s headline-making account
of the war on terrorism sparked by 9/11—the first from a
Pentagon insider, and a widely acclaimed corrective to other
versions. Feith, former head of the Pentagon’s Policy office,
draws on thousands of unpublished written sources for this
portrait of an administration that mobilized to prevent future
attacks—but was often hampered by internal discord and errors
in both strategy and communications. An authoritative work of
history by one of its key players, it will serve both contemporary
and future readers interested in America’s role in 21st century
geopolitics.
“If you want to read a serious book about the origins and consequences
of the intervention in Iraq in 2003 . . . get hold of a copy of Douglas
Feith’s War and Decision.” —Christopher Hitchens, Slate.com
“Extraordinarily frank and persuasive.”
—Michael Barone, U.S. News & World Report
“The best and most objective account to date of the [internal] dynam-
ics that led to the war in Iraq.”
—Daniel Gallington, Washington Times
“Will be studied for years by journalists, historians and aspiring politi-
cal appointees.” —Bing West, National Review
In hardcover, • War and Decision hit the New York Times and Washington
Post bestseller lists.
Douglas J. Feith served as U.S. Under Secretary of Defense
for Policy from 2001 to 2005. He lives near Washington, D.C.
with his family.

Helping Me Help
Myself
ONE SKEPTIC, TEN SELF-HELP GURUS, AND A
YEAR ON THE BRINK OF THE COMFORT ZONE
Beth Lisick
“Not only hilarious but enlightening . . . Readers
will be inspired: If a woman in a banana suit can
clean her closet and pay off her credit card debt,
surely you can, too.” —People
On New Year’s Day 2006, Beth Lisick finally admitted to herself
that she’d grown tired of embracing the same old set of nagging
problems. So she consulted the multimillion-dollar-earning pros
and national experts. In Chicago, she got proactive with The
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In Atlanta, she tried to
get a handle on exactly why “women are from Venus,” and in
a highly comedic bout on the high seas of the Caribbean, she
gamely sweated to the oldies with Richard Simmons.
Lisick jumped into her yearlong experiment with both feet,
for better or for worse, and emerged to tell readers all about it in
Helping Me Help Myself, a hilarious, enlightening romp through
the weird and wonderful world of self-help.
In hardcover, • Helping Me Help Myself hit both the San Francisco
Chronicle and Denver Post bestseller lists.
“A witty, disarmingly earnest account of the year [Lisick] spent test-
driving renowned self-help franchises.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Lisick has created a hilarious, knowing tale of a year of willing ridicu-
lousness.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Beth Lisick, author of the New York Times bestselling Everybody
into the Pool, is also a performer and odd-jobs enthusiast. She
has contributed to public radio’s This American Life and is the
cofounder of the monthly Porchlight storytelling series in San
Francisco.

Captain Freedom
A SUPERHERO'S QUEST FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE,
AND THE CELEBRITY HE SO RICHLY DESERVES
A NOVEL
G. Xavier Robillard
A wicked satire about politics, office life, the
fashion world, NPR, popular culture, Hollywood,
superheroes, villains, and much more
“Captain Freedom is a truly funny and energetic romp of a social
satire, a terrific send up of not only superheroes, but the cult of
personality in general. I’m just happy to read a book that claims to be
funny that’s actually funny.”
—Christopher Moore, author of Lamb and Fool
Packed with pop culture references, the twisted story of Captain
Freedom starts with a disastrous dinner party that causes him to
lose his job. With the help of a life coach, he looks back on his
life—finding a sidekick; battling monsters and software pirates;
saving the world (but receiving no thank you notes); and most
important, protecting his brand. He writes a children’s book,
gets wasted at a major awards ceremony, and looks for a career
in politics and fashion, until he finds his true calling.
Along the way Freedom attempts to commit long-term to a
single arch-enemy, reconcile with a high school girlfriend, and
make peace with his parents, like that’s possible.
This wild ride of a novel sends up fame, upper manage-
ment, current events and more.
“We’ve seen alcoholic superheroes, closeted gay superheroes, even
homicidal superheroes. But we’ve never seen the superhero as neu-
rotic hipster fame whore. Robillard’s hilarious satire goes somewhere
new and surprising.” —Neal Pollack, author of Alternadad
G. Xavier Robillard is a blogger at several humor sites and
a regular contributor to McSweeneys.net. He lives in Boston.
Captain Freedom is his first novel.

Dr. Hubbard’s Sex Facts
for Men and Women
S. Dana Hubbard, M.D.
Edited By Bob Berkowitz and Susan Yager-Berkowitz
A now-hilarious collection of vintage New York City
public health manuals from the 1920s that dispenses
humorously antiquated wisdom on the finer points
of sex and relationships
Unsure how to woo your mate? Pining for advice from a stuffy,
anodyne medical bureaucrat from an earlier time? Dr. Hubbard’s
Sex Facts for Men and Women has what you need in the form
of this charmingly innocent facsimile reproduction of sex-
education pamphlets from the 1920s, earnestly written by Dr.
S. Dana Hubbard, New York City public health director. The
collection includes:
Facts about Marriage Every Couple Should Know
“If the man you are about to marry loves and respects you, he •
will not ask you to degrade yourself by being his prostitute
before marriage.”
Sex Facts for Young Men
“A great many men have at some time been victims of the •
habit of artificially stimulating their sexual organs. If this habit
is continued it leads to physical and mental weakness.”
Sex Facts for Young Women
“In these swift and care free modern days a young woman •
who wishes to retain her purity will find it a constant battle.
Her path is beset with dangers and traps…Stay away from
questionable resorts, especially dance halls and cabarets.”
S. Dana Hubbard, M.D., was director of the New York City
Department of Health’s Bureau of Public Health Education and
an attending physician at New York City Children’s Hospital in
the 1920s.
Bob Berkowitz and Susan Yager-Berkowitz are the “marriage
experts” on ThirdAge.com. They live on the East End of Long

Dark Star
AN ORAL BIOGRAPHY OF JERRY GARCIA
Robert Greenfield
“An unflinching portrait of one of the most prolific
and enigmatic figures in American music.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
For more than thirty years, Jerry Garcia was the musical and
spiritual leader of the Grateful Dead, one of the most popular
rock bands of all time. In Dark Star, the first biography pub-
lished after Garcia’s death, he is remembered by those who
knew him best.
Collectively, their stories form a unique and intimate por-
trait of Jerry Garcia’s remarkable life: his working class child-
hood in San Francisco, the formation of his musical identity, his
long, strange trip with the Dead, and his final, crushing addic-
tion to heroin. Interviews with Jerry’s wives and lovers, family
members, close friends, musical partners, and countercultural
cohorts create a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a rock
and roll icon as well as the man behind the myth.
Dark Star• , the first oral biography of Jerry Garcia, is a classic must-
have for all Dead fans.
“This testimonial by people who knew him will be embraced like an
extra-long set.” —Playboy
“A poignant glimpse of a man with extraordinary power who ultimately
used that power against himself.” —Boston Globe
Robert Greenfield is an award-winning novelist, screenwriter,
and playwright. His many books include Bill Graham Presents:
My Life Inside Rock and Out, Exile on Main Sreet and Timothy
Leary. He lives in California.

The Laws of Harmony
A NOVEL
Judith Ryan Hendricks
From the author of Bread Alone comes a tale of one
woman’s struggle to remake herself in the wake of
loss and deception
In 1989 Sunny Cooper escaped to Albuquerque. Fourteen years
later she’s still there, struggling to make a living, to shore up
her floundering relationship, and to forget her childhood on
a hippie commune, where a freak accident killed her younger
sister, Mari.
Just when the “normal” life Sunny craves appears to be
within reach, another accident—the sudden death of her
fiancé, Michael, and revelations that their relationship was
not what it seemed—will turn her world upside down. Once
again, Sunny escapes, this time to the town of Harmony on San
Miguel Island. But the discovery that she’s carrying Michael’s
child sparks an emotional encounter with her estranged mother,
and forces her to re-examine the truth of her memories. Only
by making peace with the past can Sunny finally step out of its
shadow and into a new life with her own daughter.

My Mother,
Your Mother
EMBRACING “SLOW MEDICINE,”
THE COMPASSIONATE APPROACH TO
CARING FOR YOUR AGING LOVED ONES
Dennis McCullough, M.D.
“A valuable book, chilling and comforting in equal
measure.” —New York Times
Geriatrician Dennis McCullough has spent his life helping
families cope with their parents’ final passage, an experience
he faced with his own mother. In this comforting and much-
needed book, he recommends a new approach to late-life
care. Shaped by common sense and kindness, grounded in
traditional medicine yet receptive to alternative therapies,
“Slow Medicine” is a measured treatment of “less is more” that
improves the quality of patients’ late lives without bankrupting
their families financially or emotionally. Gentle, personal care
often yields better results, not only for the dying but for the
families who love them.
“This book is a must-read if you are now or will soon be caring for
someone at the end of life.”
—John Abramson, M. D., author of Overdosed America
“Practical books like this do not come around very often.”
—Edward W. Campion, M. D., senior deputy editor and
online editor of the New England Journal of Medicine
Dennis McCullough, M.D., has been an “in-the-trenches”
family physician and geriatrician for 30 years. He is a member
of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Society of
Teachers of Family Medicine, the American Geriatric Society,
and the American Medical Directors Association, as well as the
co-author of The Little Black Book of Geriatrics. He lives with his
wife, the poet Pamela Harrison, in Norwich, VT.

The star of a hunting, fishing, and cooking show named

in for the cook-off of their lives, a heart-to-heart battle spiced
up by a little ingredient called love.

Leave Us Alone
GETTING THE GOVERNMENT’S HANDS OFF
OUR MONEY, OUR GUNS, OUR LIVES
Grover Norquist
“The old dichotomies of left vs. right or liberal vs.
conservative have increasingly little relevance
for the politics of America. But Norquist’s
formulation—the leave-us-aloners vs. the takers—is
vital, relevant, and incisive. Viewed through this
prism, politics makes sense.” —Dick Morris
The modern Republican Party is a coalition of groups created
during the political life of Ronald Reagan, based on principle
rather than region and history—one that will grow in power
and size during the next generation, argues Grover Norquist,
the founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform. The
members of this new political movement—comprised of such
groups as the NRA, Christian evangelicals, homeschoolers, and
property owners—are not asking the government for others’
money, time, or attention; they simply want to be left alone.
Norquist describes this new movement and how it will
shape the next century, and delves into the reasons why this
movement will come to dominate poltics for decades to come.
“Grover Norquist is provocative, intellectually fearless, and always
worth paying attention to. His new book is Grover at his best—which
is very, very good. Read this important volume and you’ll understand
why Norquist plays such a key role in American politics.”
—Karl Rove
“This is Grover Norquist’s mind at work—impassioned, data-driven,
and unintimidated by the lay of the political land.” —Peggy Noonan
Grover Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform,
a taxpayer advocacy group he founded in 1985 at President
Reagan’s request. He chairs the “Wednesday Meeting,” a weekly
gathering of more than 120 elected officials, political activists,
and movement leaders. He serves on the Board of Directors of the
American Conservative Union and the National Rifle Association.
The Wall Street Journal has called Norquist “the Grand Central
Station” of the conservative movement, and in 2007, GQ voted
him one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, DC. He
and his wife Samah live in Washington, DC.

The Forgery of Venus
A NOVEL
Michael Gruber
“Exhilarating . . . retains the power from the
first chapter to keep readers desperate for the
suspenseful, addictive fix of every succeeding one.”
—USA Today
Chaz Wimont has inherited all the talent of his famous artist
father, but his paintings, steeped in craft and tradition, don’t
sell nearly as well as those of contemporary artists. With a
very ill son and an estranged wife, Chaz accepts a commission
to “restore” an antique fresco in a European castle. When he
arrives, he finds there’s not much left to restore and that the
job is more of a “recreation”—forgery, some people would call
it—and Chaz does it brilliantly. His success opens doors and
introduces him to a fabulously wealthy patron with a dark past.
Propelled by love, Chaz strikes a damning bargain and embarks
on a journey that tests not only his artistic genius but his immor-
tal soul.
Michael Gruber’s first trade paperback, • The Book of Air and Shadows,
hit the New York Times bestseller list.
In January 2009, Harper paperbacks will reissue Gruber’s • Tropic of
Night in trade paperback. See page 22.
“Ingenious. . . . The author owns his subject matter and packs it with
well-researched details, making this…a successful, suspenseful
examination of insanity, forgery, and reality.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“As layered as a luminous portrait by an old master. A tour-de-force
combination of suspense and characterization, as well as a primer on
the world of art and art forgery.” —Seattle Times
Michael Gruber has been a marine biologist, restaurant cook,
a federal government official, and a political speechwriter. The
author of five acclaimed novels, he lives in Seattle.

Louis Ferrante
“As someone who tends to be a magnet for Mob
stories, I’m so glad this one found me—not so much
for the Mafia aspect, but for Lou’s amazing story
of self-education and re-birth during his prison
sentence.” —Lorraine Bracco, actress,
Goodfellas and The Sopranos
As part of the Gambino crime family, Louis Ferrante partici-
pated in some of the most lucrative robberies in American his-
tory—until the feds caught up with him and he became prisoner
number 42365053.
Behind bars, Ferrante read through everything from classic
19th-century fiction to law texts. It was a journey of the mind
that would lead him to a new faith as an Orthodox Jew, a new
career as a writer, and a new life when he successfully appealed
his own conviction in a case now cited in courtrooms across the
country.
In this captivating, deeply honest memoir, Ferrante recounts
the extraordinary path he has taken—a true story of transforma-
tion that is shocking, inspiring, and unforgettable.
“To hear Ferrante speak seriously about his life is to hear the story of a
man who once brutalized others—and vows to change.”
—Los Angeles Times
“A deeply moving, honest account of an extraordinary life.”
—Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy and Casino
“Reads like a Puzo novel on steroids.... Ferrante produces a raw, brutal
memoir with glimmers of hope and redemption.... It definitely grabs
the reader’s attention.” —Publishers Weekly
Louis Ferrante was born and raised in Queens, NY. He lives
on Long Island, NY.

The Perfect Baby
Handbook
A GUIDE FOR EXCESSIVELY
MOTIVATED PARENTS
Dale Hrabi
A hilarious parody of a parenting book on how
to raise a perfect, perfectly pampered paragon of
perfection
From our Bugaboo-congested sidewalks to the pages of Us
Weekly, it’s obvious that babies are in. Being a new parent has
never been hipper; witness Angelina, Gwen, Gwyneth, Halle,
Salma, and even Britney. New parents are more glamorous,
more educated, more prosperous, and better dressed than ever.
But they are also highly competitive, status-obsessed, and cut-
throat consumers, turbocharged by the anxieties of parenting.
They will not sabotage Jr.’s future by denying him a $1,200
nursery chandelier, Louis Vuitton diaper paraphernalia, or
infant yoga.
The Perfect Baby Handbook provides badly needed comic
relief from the pressures of being a new parent today, and gives
comfort to many who, if they can’t laugh at themselves, can at
least say, “At least we’re not this bad.”
Dale Hrabi has contributed to Elle, Wired, Us Weekly, and
the New York Times, among many other publications. He has
also served as contributing editor and writer for Radar, Editor-
in-Chief of Blender, editorial creative director at both Details
and Maxim, and executive creative director at Mademoiselle.
He is the author and designer of Us Weekly’s Secrets of
Celebrity Style.

The Sacred Well
A NOVEL
Antoinette May
A beautiful novel of myth and mysticism, following
the lives of two women—restless wanderers each
drawn to Yucatan, Mexico, from the author of
Pilate’s Wife
In 1923 Alma Reed, a young reporter, accompanies archaeolo-
gists to the ruins of Chichen Itza. A fortune in Maya artifacts
has been stolen from a sacrificial well and a curse unleashed.
Alma’s exposé makes her famous, attracting the attention of
Yucatan’s revolutionary governor, Felipe Carrillo Puerto. But the
two, soon passionately in love, become political pawns. When
Felipe is imprisoned by reactionaries, Alma wonders if they, too,
have not fallen victim to the well’s curse.
Alma’s tragic story intrigues a modern counterpart, Sage
Sanborn, whose writing career is stalemated by the needs of
her desperately ill partner, Mark. Sage is severely tested in
Yucatan, when, again and again, she is thrown together with
David, a charming and determined scientist who encourages
her to unearth the truth about Alma’s extraordinary life. But
their resulting love affair soon changes the course of Sage’s own
life—and demands an impossible decision.
praise for Pilate’s Wife:
“A portrait of an intriguing woman. . . . Pilate’s Wife makes the female
experience of past millennia exotic yet universal.” —USA Today
Antoinette May is the author of Pilate’s Wife and co-author
of the New York Times bestseller Adventures of a Psychic, a
biography of contemporary clairvoyant, Sylvia Browne. May is

Around the World
in 80 Dinners
Cheryl & Bill Jamison
“A fun, friendly and deliciously colorful travelogue
of a three-month, around-the-world eating tour. It’ll
make you deliriously jealous, but you’ll love it.”
—Santa Fe Reporter
In the fall of 2005, renowned culinary experts Cheryl and Bill
Jamison packed their bags and set off a three-month-long odys-
sey of the palate, using their frequent flyer miles to sample
sumptuous cuisines across the globe.
They make a stop in Bali in search of the authentic flavors
of the central highlands, and Australia to taste its foods and
wines; in Singapore they sample exquisite street food, and in
Thailand they discover luscious contrasts in textures and fla-
vors. In South Africa they embark on a safari cookout—a stark
contrast to the simple fare of Provence and the Creole passions
of Salvador, Brazil.
Inspiring and entertaining, Around the World in 80 Dinners
is unforgettable fare for body, mind, and soul.
The Jamisons' most recent cookbook, • The Big Book of Outdoor Cooking
and Entertaining, won a James Beard Award.
“Casual and informative . . . Fans of their congenial style . . . will feel
as though they’re along for the ride.” —Denver Post
Cheryl and Bill Jamison are the authors of more than a dozen
cookbooks and travel guides, and have four James Beard awards
and numerous other honors to their credit. They appear regu-
larly on television, and are frequent contributors to publications
including Cooking Light and Bon Appétit. They live just outside
of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Kept Waiting
A NOVEL
Anna David
A Hollywood adventure from the acidly hilarious and
achingly honest author of Party Girl
An LA-reared Hollywood wannabe toiling in the “gossip
ghetto,” Emma Swanson is constantly attempting to find
happily-ever-after with successful men from the entertainment
business—and for her troubles, finding herself ignored and
unappreciated.
Then she meets Jessica, a cavalier and manipulative beau-
ty who shamelessly trades sex for gifts. Convinced that writing
a story on powerful men and the women who manipulate them
will earn her career respectability—and certain that Jessica and
her ilk have more honest and successful relationships—Emma
gets sucked into the orbit of Jessica’s brand of prettied-up
prostitution. But she soon realizes that Hollywood isn’t what’s
wrong with her life. It’s who and what she’s become—and
whether or not she’ll be able to find her way back.
praise for Party Girl:
“David’s debut novel combines a candid picture of addiction and
recovery with scandalously funny, only-in-LA adventures.”
—Redbook

The Importance of
Being Kennedy
A NOVEL
Laurie Graham
“With energetic pace, witty dialogue and vividly drawn
characters. . . . Graham shines a light on some of the
shadows in the Kennedy drama.”
—The Observer (London)
Fresh off the boat from Ireland, young Nora Brennan—
energetic, loyal, and with a perspective all her own—becomes
a servant to one of Boston’s most prominent families, the
Kennedys. Soon she is given charge of their nine children—a
position from which she witnesses everything that happens,
both public and private, and dutifully records her own personal
observations in her diary.
From childhood through World War II, Nora offers a rare
portrait of Joe and Rose Kennedy and their sons and brings into
focus the often overlooked daughters, including the rebellious
Kathleen and the beautiful but “slow” Rosie. Sympathetic and
wise, Nora takes us inside the family we think we know as never
before, with all the juicy bits intact.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Why Women Should
Rule the World
Dee Dee Myers
“Myers presents a compelling case, with more than
a few laughs along the way, for why we would all be
better off with more women running things.”
—Cokie Roberts, author of Founding Mothers
Women are changing the world—not because they’re the same
as men, but because they’re different, argues Dee Dee Myers.
In this informative and inspiring book, the media commentator
and former Clinton White House insider interweaves her own
experiences and those of others to demonstrate the ways in
which females can make a positive difference.
But what would change if women ruled the world?
Everything—every area of life would be positively affected,
from politics and business to health care and even world peace.
Blending memoir, social history, and call to action, Myers pays
homage to the pioneers who have opened doors so others could
follow.
In hardcover, • Why Women Should Rule the World hit the New York
Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Washington Post bestseller lists.
“Smart, funny and tough.”
—George Stephanopoulos, ABC News, Chief Washington
Correspondent and anchor of This Week
“Part memoir, part state-of-the-feminist movement address, the book is
at its best a conversation about Myers’ odyssey from Clinton mouth-
piece on the campaign trail to White House press secretary. . . .
Great insider tales.” —Chicago Sun-Times
Dee Dee Myers was the press spokeswoman for Bill Clinton’s
presidential campaign, and from January 20, 1993, to December
22, 1994, served as White House press secretary—the first
woman to hold that position. She is currently a political com-
mentator on NBC and MSNBC, a Contributing Editor to Vanity
Fair and a lecturer on politics and women’s issues. Myers lives
with her husband and their children in Washington, D.C.

TWO CLASSICS ON MANNERS NEWLY REPACKAGED AND REISSUED
Guests
OR, HOW TO SURVIVE HOSPITALITY: THE CLASSIC GUIDE
Russell Lynes
First published in 1951, a droll examination of the hazards of
all things guest-related, from cocktail parties to visits in the
country, accompanied by explanatory drawings
Witty anecdotes, caricatures, and cultural asides add sparkle to this
humorous and kind-hearted little tome. With notes on the perils one
is likely to face as the host of a weekend country visit, on the differ-
ent types of hosts and hostesses (the bossy, the shy, and those wearing
slogan-emblazoned barbecue aprons), and a taxonomy of various types
of cocktail party “bores,” Guests is the perfect gift for any host.

A GUIDEBOOK TO YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR ENEMIES,
YOUR COLLEAGUES, AND YOURSELF
Russell Lynes
Introduction by Joseph Epstein
Originally penned in 1950, this little book is a lighthearted,
satirical look at the varieties of the modern snob, with
humorous drawings
Lynes playfully skewers an array of unforgettable types from Emotional
Snobs to Sensual, Political, Taste, Regional, and Reverse Snobs. In
vivid characterizations that run the gamut, Lynes’ cutting wit brings out
his contemporaries’ foibles with humor and elan. Includes a number of
arch and stylish drawings by Robert Olson.
“The obvious authority on contemporary snobbery and its rarefied variants.
. . .The conversation piece of the year.” —Saturday Review of Literature
Russell Lynes (1910–1991) was an art historian, cultural critic, author,
photographer, and managing editor of Harper’s Magazine. His articles for
Harper’s and Life in 1949 made parsing American culture into highbrow,
upper or lower middlebrow, and lowbrow into a national pastime. He
wrote many books, including Snobs and The Tastemakers.
APRIL • HARPER PAPERBACKS
“One of America’s foremost arbiters of taste and mores. . . . Essayist, social his-
torian, photographer, and Renaissance man, Mr. Lynes was an acclaimed expert
on what was highbrow, what was lowbrow and what was no brow at all.”

Things I Want My
Daughters to Know
A NOVEL
Elizabeth Noble
“An absorbing tale that you won’t want to end.”
—Hallmark magazine
Barbara had always been the backbone of her family. Warm
and funny, she helped her daughters through the trials of grow-
ing up. Before she succumbed to cancer, she gave her beloved
daughters one more gift: a cache of letters, journals, and sto-
ries, written for each, to help them overcome their mistakes,
conquer their fears, and lead them to the happiness she knew
they deserved.
In the year between their mother’s funeral and the first
anniversary of her death, Barbara’s love will encourage her
daughters to break away from mundane life, overcome fear
of commitment, stop running away from love, and to grow in
confidence. Even though Barbara is gone, her bond with her
daughters will continue to grow.
“Noble is a supple storyteller who moves easily through time and
among many points of view. Her characters are familiar and sympa-
thetic, flaws and all.” —Boston Globe
“This is an intense, magical, gripping, heartrending novel that will
reduce you to sobs if you let your guard down . . . there’s no
schmaltz, no manipulating, no pretense . . . . Whew, what a book.”
—Roanoke Times
A reading group favorite, Elizabeth
Noble lives with her husband and their
two daughters in New York City.

My Guy Barbaro
A JOCKEY’S JOURNEY THROUGH LOVE,
TRIUMPH, AND HEARTBREAK
Edgar Prado
With John Eisenberg
“Barbaro was one tough horse—winning the
Kentucky Derby by 6½ lengths. . . . Veteran jockey
Prado touchingly takes readers inside racing and
his bond with Barbaro.” —New York Post
Edgar Prado, one of the top jockeys in the world, shared a
remarkable bond with Barbaro, the legendary thoroughbred
who won the 2006 Kentucky Derby by a record-setting margin
before shattering his leg in the Preakness Stakes two weeks
later. In this moving book, Prado recounts his relationship with
the horse he regards as “the ride of a lifetime,” from their first
race together through their shared Derby triumph to the time
they spent together at the New Bolton Animal Hospital in
Kennett Square, PA, where Barbaro captivated fans worldwide
with his valiant struggle to survive his devastating injury. Woven
throughout is Prado’s own story, a tale of grit and dreams that
moves from his early life in Lima, Peru, to the winner’s circles
of some of the greatest racetracks in the world.
“An insightful picture of the high-pressure lifestyle and intense cam-
paigns of jockeys and horses who seek victory along the road to the
Triple Crown . . . [A] fitting portrait of Prado’s true nature—that of
a compassionate horseman whose bond with this one mount was
unshakable.” —Blood Horse
Edgar Prado is one of the premier jockeys in the world,
with more than 6,000 wins, including the Kentucky Derby,
the Belmont Stakes and the Breeders’ Cup. He splits his time
between Hollywood, FL, and Elmont, NY.
John Eisenberg is a former columnist for the Baltimore Sun
and the author of six sports books, including the acclaimed
Native Dancer and The Great Match Race.

Foreign Tongue
A NOVEL OF LIFE AND LOVE IN PARIS
Vanina Marsot
A young American woman in Paris is forced to
confront her own notions of love, language and
culture in this enchanting debut novel
Unlike most women who have been unlucky in love, Anna—
recently left heartbroken in Los Angeles—has an enviable
backup plan. Bilingual and blessed with dual citizenship, she
moves to Paris to live in her aunt’s empty apartment. Paris, the
city of romance, might not seem like the easiest place to mend
a broken heart, but Anna tries to find solace in the cobblestone
streets, the delectable pastries, and the company of old friends.
She soon finds a job translating a mysterious, erotic French
novel by a famous (and anonymous) author. At once intrigued
by his story and taken in by the mystery behind the book, Anna
finds herself among the city’s literati and in the arms of an allur-
ing Parisian man as she learns to explore the best parts of her
French and American self.
Sexy, sophisticated, and infused with the sights and
sounds of Paris. Foreign Tongue is a humorous, poignant look at
one woman trying to understand who she is in two countries.
While it is a piece of fiction, • Foreign Tongue takes place in a very real
and specific Paris as Marsot, who spent a large part of her childhood
in the City of Lights, brings to life the charm of its cafés and streets.
Vanina Marsot holds an MFA in literature
and creative writing from Bennington. She
has translated numerous TV shows and
feature film scripts. She splits her time
between Paris and Los Angeles.

Last Rituals
A NOVEL OF SUSPENSE
Yrsa Sigurdardottir
“[A] chilly tale . . . [with] confident pacing . . .
[Last Rituals] moves with sufficient speed to hold
even the most jaded reader’s attention.”
—Wall Street Journal
After the badly mutilated body of a young German student
studying Icelandic history is discovered, the Reykjavik police
arrest a local drug dealer. But the victim’s family isn’t so sure
and they ask Thora Guomundsdottir, an Icelandic attorney and
single mother, to look into the case.
Thora and her new partner, Matthew Reich, discover that
the murdered student had been a member of a mysterious
group of Icelanders fascinated with the country’s history of
torture, execution, and witchcraft. The investigation leads them
away from modern Reykjavik, into a remote corner of Iceland
still influenced by its dark past. As the murder’s connection to
long-ago crimes grows, Thora and Matthew soon realize that
nothing is as it seems... and that no one can be trusted.
Last Rituals• has been translated into 26 languages and has received
rave reviews around the world.
Yrsa Sigurdardottir’s next novel, • My Soul to Take, will be published by
William Morrow in April 2009. See page 56 of the William Morrow
catalog.
“An academic detective story, with a bright young lawyer...doing the
snooping.... History is more fun when it’s horrid.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Top notch crime fiction. . . . This is a fascinating excursion into the
macabre that keeps its feet firmly planted in reality.” —Boston Globe
A native of Iceland, Yrsa Sigurdardottir (pronounced “Sig-er-
thar-dot-er”) is an award-winning author of five children’s novels
and a lead civil engineer directing one of Europe’s largest hydro

Bound
A NOVEL
Sally Gunning
“If The Widow’s War identified Sally Gunning as a
masterful new voice in historical fiction, Bound confirms
her place as one of the very best in the field. Beautifully
researched and ardently imagined, Gunning’s writing is
so vivid you can taste the salt in the Cape Cod air.”
—Geraldine Brooks, author of Year of Wonders, March,
and People of the Book: A Novel
Indentured servant Alice Cole barely remembers when she was
not “bound,” first to the Morton family, then to their daughter
Nabby, her companion since childhood. But Nabby’s new mar-
riage is not happy, and when Alice finds herself torn between
her new master and her old friend, she runs away to Boston.
There she meets a sympathetic widow named Lyddie Berry
and her lawyer companion, Eben Freeman. Impulsively stow-
ing away on their ship to Satucket on Cape Cod, Alice finds
employment making cloth with Lyddie. Yet as Alice soon discov-
ers, freedom—as well as gratitude, friendship, and trust—has a
price far higher than she ever imagined.
Gunning’s previous novel, • The Widow’s War was named one of the
Washington Post’s best books of the year.
“Suspenseful and engaging . . . moving, compelling, and beautifully
wrought.” —Library Journal
Sally Gunning lives on Cape Cod
with her husband.

All for a Few
Perfect Waves
THE AUDACIOUS LIFE AND LEGEND OF
REBEL SURFER MIKI DORA
David Rensin
“Engrossing . . . Rensin proves an inexhaustible
interviewer, teasing out colorful tales never before
set in print.” —Men’s Vogue
Universally recognized as the king of Malibu surfers in the ’50s
and ’60s, Miki Dora was also the sport’s chief antihero, charis-
matic prince, committed loner, and enduring enigma, who spent
his life searching for empty waves worldwide.
An American original, “a subversive, restless wild man”
(The Times of London), Dora is perhaps the most influential
character in surf culture. Certainly he was the most memora-
ble—and not just because he once led the FBI on a seven-year
chase around the globe. In this utterly engrossing, definitive
biography, author David Rensin goes beyond the myth to reveal,
through more than 300 interviews, the truth behind the dark
icon who became a legend in his own time. Complex and fasci-
nating, All for a Few Perfect Waves is a wild ride through Dora’s
colorful life and the sport, time, and place he helped define.
The paperback edition will contain new stories about Miki Dora. •
Film rights have been sold to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way •
Productions for a film to star DiCaprio.
“Until now enigmatic surfer legend Miki Dora’s history was written
only in water, but David Rensin’s primo All for a Few Perfect Waves
catches the life of this charismatic renegade.” —Vanity Fair
“Celebrates the man’s desire to live of a life of utter, and often utterly
irresponsible, freedom.” —Los Angeles Magazine
David Rensin has written and co-written 12 books, five of
them New York Times bestsellers. His previous book, The
Mailroom: Hollywood History from the Bottom Up (2003) spent
ten weeks on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list. He lives in
Los Angeles and still dreams of surfing.

The Story of Yiddish
HOW A MISH-MOSH OF LANGUAGES SAVED
THE JEWS
Neal Karlen
A delightfully engaging, first-rate history of the
Yiddish language, in the bestselling spirit of Robert
MacNeil’s The Story of English
The writer hailed by Philip Lopate as “simply one of the best,
most sophisticated, and literate practitioners of journalism we
have,” now turns his attention to the fascinating and varied
history of the Yiddish language. Yiddish is as unlikely a survivor
of the ages as the Jews themselves—unlikelier, actually, con-
sidering how many Jews have also tried to kill off this “gutter”
language. That Yiddish is a mirror of Jewish history, thought,
and practice underlies Karlen’s narrative, as he chronologically
charts Yiddish from its beginnings as a minor dialect in 11th-
century France and Italy, to the time before World War II when
13 million spoke the language; and further to its unlikely resus-
citation and electrifying 21st-century renaissance.
“As lively, colorful and multifaceted as the language itself. In
researching its history from the First Crusades to the Holocaust to
Hollywood, Karlen has made a language that didn’t need any help in
the fun department even more entertaining.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“An often pleasant . . . romp through Yiddish and Yiddishkeit in
America.” —Publishers Weekly
Neal Karlen is the author of Slouching Toward Fargo. Having
been raised in a Yiddish-speaking family, he has immersed him-
self in the world of Yiddish and has has recently studied with a
Chassidic rabbi. He is a frequent contributor to the New York
Times and former associate editor of Newsweek. He lives in
Minneapolis.

INTRODUCING DETECTIVE KUBU
Michael Stanley
“A first novel saturated with local color . . . it takes a
great character like Kubu to win our loyalty.”
—New York Times Book Review
They found the first body near a waterhole considered magical
by the local bush people. A string of clues suggests that the
victim was murdered and his identity hidden, a crime tailor-
made for Assistant Superintendent David Bengu, nicknamed
Kubu—Setswana for hippopotamus—a clever and resourceful
lawman who is determined to rid Botswana of crime and corrup-
tion. Like his namesake, Kubu will trample anything, or anyone,
that lies in the path of his objective.
Following a blood-soaked trail marked by lies and supersti-
tion, Kubu uncovers a chain of crimes linked to powerful figures
in the country—influential enemies who kill those who get in
their way. . . .
Harper will publish the next book in the series, • The Second Death of
Goodluck Tinubu, in Summer 2009.
“Characters in this first outing are utterly believable…. Kubu himself
is a marvelous creation. . . . This is a marvelous debut.”
—Boston Globe
“Delightful. . . . Stanley’s writing style is equal parts sprightly and grave.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review
Michael Stanley is the writing team of Michael Sears and
Stanley Trollip. The pair have had many adventures together,
including tracking lions at night, fighting bush fires on the Savuti
plains in northern Botswana, surviving a charging elephant, and
losing their navigation maps while flying over the Kalahari. Sears
lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. Trollip divides his time
between South Africa and Minneapolis, MN.

Do Dead People
Walk Their Dogs?
QUESTIONS YOU'D ASK A MEDIUM IF YOU
HAD THE CHANCE
Concetta Bertoldi
“With her fun-loving and sparkling personality, it is
no wonder the spirit world wants to speak to her.”
—James Van Praagh
Concetta Bertoldi’s Do Dead People Watch You Shower?
addressed both poignant questions about the fate and happi-
ness of loved ones who have crossed to the other side, as well
as answering the naughtier and more provocative questions
Bertoldi is often asked by skeptics and believers alike. Now, in
Do Dead People Walk Their Dogs?, she’s back with even more
questions and answers about life after life, and more from
Concetta herself about what it has meant (to her marriage, her
friendships, her career path) to have this extraordinary ability.
Bertoldi’s first book, • Do Dead People Watch You Shower?, has been
reprinted eight times and garnered national media coverage including
CBS’s The Early Show.
praise for do dead PeoPle Wa t c h yo u shoWer?:
“Believers will delight in knowing the answers to other questions,
such as: ‘Do the dead have sex on the Other Side?’ (Short answer:
No). . . . Interesting reading for anyone curious about the afterlife.”
—Chicago Sun Times: The Book Room
“[S]weet, funny, and reassuring . . . What makes [Bertoldi] stand out
are her personality and positive energy, which shines throughout. An
engaging, life-affirming read.” —Library Journal
Concetta Bertoldi has communicated with the “other side”
since childhood. She’s a full-time medium with a two-year wait-
ing list, and consults regularly with members of Britain’s royal
family, American celebrities, politicians, and others. She lives
in New Jersey with her husband.

Matt Groening, creator and executive producer of Fox’s
Emmy Award®-winning series The Simpsons, made television
history by bringing animation back to primetime and creating
an immortal nuclear family. The Simpsons is the longest-
running primetime animated series in television
history and is currently the longest-running comedy on televi-
sion, having aired more than 400 episodes. In July
2007, the highly anticipated feature film The Simpsons Movie,
opened in theatres with worldwide grosses of more
than $525 million to date.
Originally brought to life in 1987 for The Tracey Ullman
Show, The Simpsons was Groening’s amazing entry into the
television animation world. Previously, he was best-known for
his “Life in Hell” cartoon strip, an irreverent portrayal of love,
work, school, life and relationships that currently appears
in more than 250 newspapers worldwide and in
a multitude of books.
Groening’s other Emmy-Award®-winning creation,
Futurama, launched on Fox in March 1999 and ran for five
seasons. Last year Fox released the direct-to-DVD full-length
original feature Futurama: Bender’s Big Score. Three addi-
tional films will be released and the entire series with new
episodes will air on Comedy Central this year.
In 1993, Groening formed Bongo Comics Group,
where he serves as publisher of The Simpsons Library of
Wisdom, Simpsons Episode Guides, Simpsons Comics, Bart
Simpson Comics, Radioactive Man Comics, Simpsons Comics
Treasure Trove, the annual Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror,
Futurama Comics, more than 36 comic compila-
tions, as well as instant classics including Bart
Simpsons Guide to Life, The Simpsons Handbook and The
Simpsons Uncensored Family Album among others!
In addition to the many awards bestowed on his creations
(including Emmys, Annies, and the prestigious
Peabody Award), Groening was personally honored with
the Rueben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist
of the Year, the highest honor presented by the National
Cartoonist Society. To date there are more than 14
million copies of books from HarperCollins in print
throughout North America, the UK, and Australia based on
The Simpsons, Futurama and Life in Hell.

SIMPSONS LIBRARY OF WISDOM
Matt Groening
Captures the essence of the mother who, against all
odds, keeps the Simpson household from complete ruin
Marge Simpson, the woman with the impossibly blue and
improbably high hairdo, is more than just America’s number
one Mom. She is a complex woman with an inner life, hopes
and dreams, and an incorrigible family that she holds together
with wifely devotion, motherly love, and extra special home-spun
creativity. From a teenage feminist out to set the world and her
bra on fire to the real head of the Simpson household, Marge
Simpson brings the Library of Wisdom just what it needs . . . a
healthy homemade helping of common sense. Join the coupon-
clipping queen of discount shopping at the nearby Sprawl*Mart,
at a meeting of the school PTA, in the middle of a bodice-ripping
romance novel, at a theatrical performance of her one-woman
show, or join her crusade against cartoon violence, domestic
strife, and suburbia’s quiet life of desperation . . . or at least her
desperate hope that no one will hold anything that Homer or
Bart does against her personally.
Clean up your room and wash your hands before taking a gander
at . . . The Marge Book!

Mr. and Mrs. Prince
HOW AN EXTRAORDINARY EIGHTEENTH-
CENTURY FAMILY MOVED OUT OF SLAVERY
AND INTO LEGEND
Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina
“ Compelling . . . . History and mystery mix in this
tale to make Mr. and Mrs. Prince as absorbing as it
is surprising and informative.”
—Christian Science Monitor
Merging history and grand storytelling, Gretchen Holbrook
Gerzina reveals the truth about and nuances of slavery in
New England in the true story of a remarkable black pre-Civil
War family.
In 1760s Vermont, Lucy Terry and her husband, Abijah
Prince, aspired to the best America had to offer its citizens.
They worked hard to acquire land and sought the best educa-
tion available to them for their children. When bigoted neigh-
bors tried to run them off their land, they used the courts to
fight back – an option that would not have been available to
them had they lived in the South. The Princes’ story alone
would make a riveting history lesson, but when Gerzina’s
research reveals her own family involvement in the lives of the
Princes the book takes on a unique twist that will enthrall those
interested in history as well as those whose tastes run toward
memoir or genealogy. Part love story, part tale of true American
grit, this amazing story is all inspiring.
“A moving . . . portrait of a striving family.”
—New York Times Book Review
“ [Mr. and Mrs. Prince] tells more than just a personal
story, it sheds light on a piece of early American history
not often discussed.” —USA Today
The author of Carrington and other books, Gretchen Holbrook
Gerzina is a professor in biography at Dartmouth College, where
she also chairs the English department. She also hosts The Book
Show, a nationally syndicated weekly radio program. She lives in
New Hampshire.

AMERICANS TO RETIRE RICH!
Aaron Smith with Brenda Lane Richardson
Written by a top financial expert in retirement issues
whose clientele ranges from NFL stars to everyday

Make no mistake about it; there’s money in the black

2012 black buying power is expected to reach $1.1 trillion.
Endorsed by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and
written to be of interest to the estimated nine million black baby
boomers who are expected to retire between now and 2029, In the
Black will transform the retirement plans of African Americans,
regardless of income, by offering concrete advice on the opportu-
nities that are available to achieve their financial dreams, be they
middle aged, facing large debts, or actively saving since their early
twenties.
In clear, easy to follow steps, readers will learn how to:
• Save for retirement even if they’re still caring for children
or other family members
• Figure out the most advantageous time for taking Social Security
benefits
• Use faith as a motivator for paying down debt and saving
• Create a flow of income that will last the rest of their lives, no
matter how long that may be
• . . . and much more

In Ida: A Sword Among Lions, Paula Giddings delivers a
sweeping biography of crusader, journalist, and antilynching
activist Ida B. Wells. Born into slavery in Mississippi, Wells
began her activist career by refusing to leave a first-class
car on a Memphis railway and rose to lead the nation’s first
campaign against lynching. Giddings not only unveils Wells
irrepressible personality, but also provides compelling portraits of
20th century progressive luminaries, black and white, with whom
Wells worked during some of the most tumultuous periods in
American history.
Universally hailed by critics upon publication, this
sweeping biography finally gives Wells her due and places her in
the pantheon of black public intellectuals. Ida is a book that any-
one interested in black history, the story of lynching in America,
and women’s history must have.
“Devoted and scrupulous . . . Giddings’ biography is . . .
comprehensive.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Brilliant . . . I can’t think of a biography that throws more
light on the history of gender, race, and class discord in the
United States. . . . A riveting, definitive narrative on a dark
and bruising history. —Toni Morrison
A professor of African American Studies at Smith College, Paula
J. Giddings has been a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation
and the National Humanties Center, she has written for the
Washington Post, the New York Times, and Essence magazine. She
lives in Northampton, MA.
Ida:
A Sword Among Lions
IDA B. WELLS AND THE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST LYNCHING
Paula J. Giddings
“Giddings set out to write a definitive biography and
has succeeded spectacularly . . . . We come to love this
brave and wise woman . . . . Read it and weep. Then
give it to the last person who told you that ideals are
a waste of time.” —Washington Post Book World

From Harvey River
A MEMOIR OF MY MOTHER AND HER ISLAND
Lorna Goodison
“Being introduced to the cast of ‘From Harvey River’
is like sitting down at the family dining table. You’ll
stay for the day then on into the evening as each
new character pulls up a chair. You could not be in
better company.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Throughout her life my mother Doris lived in two places at once:
Kingston, Jamaica, where she raised a family of nine children, and
Harvey River, in the parish of Hanover, where she was born and
grew up.”
When Doris Harvey’s English grandfather, William Harvey,
discovers a clearing at the end of a path cut by the feet of those
running from slavery, he gives his name to what will become his
family’s home for generations.
In lush, vivid prose, textured with the cadences of Creole
speech, Lorna Goodison weaves together memory and mythol-
ogy to create a vivid tapestry. She takes us deep into the heart of
a complete world to tell a universal story of family and the ties
that bind us to the place we call home.
“Luminous. . . . Beautiful is the life Goodison evokes
from the far-distant past: Jamaica as paradise.”
—Carolyn See, Washington Post
“Like Edwidge Dandicat and Julia Alvarez before her, Goodison is
able to make her memoir of the life of her mother, Doris, and her
extended family come alive with the rich textures of island life.”
—Elle
“Imbued with powerful lyrical imagery.” —Entertainment Weekly
Lorna Goodison has published eight books of poetry and a
collection of short stories, and has received much international
recognition, including the Musgrave Gold Medal from Jamaica
in 1999. Her work has been widely translated and anthologized
in major collections of contemporary poetry. Born in Jamaica,
Goodison now lives in Toronto, where she teaches at the
University of Toronto.

AMISTAD PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
It’s winter 1944 and the Second World War is entering its most
crucial stage. A few months ago 14-year-old Ali Banana was a
blacksmith’s apprentice in his rural hometown in Africa; now
he’s trekking through the Burmese jungle and given orders to
go behind enemy lines. But Japanese snipers lurk behind every
tree—and if Ali manages to escape a direct attack, infection and
disease lie in wait.
Taut and immediate, The King’s Rifle is the first novel to
depict the experiences of black African soldiers in the Second
World War. This is a story of real-life battles, of the men who
made the legend of the “Chindits,” the unconventional, quick-
strike division of the British Army in India. Horrific and always
brilliantly executed, this vividly realized account details the
madness, the sacrifice, and the dark humor of that war’s most
vicious battleground. It is also the moving story of a boy trying
to live long enough to become a man.
“Fascinating . . . . What’s invigorating about Bandele’s novel is
his fine detail, and the fresh perspective of the Africans who
took part.” —The Observer
“Gripping, original and moving . . . . Highlighting the heroism
and absurdity of war, it also illuminates a forgotten byway of
African experience.” —Sunday Times (London)
Biyi Bandele is an award-winning novel-
ist, playwright, and director. He was born
in Kafanchan, Nigeria, in 1967, the son
of a veteran of the Burma campaign. In
2006 he was named in the Independent as
one of Africa’s fifty greatest artists.

On the heels of the critical success of

Revere, Mississippi, is not unlike many small towns in the
South during the 1950s, with black people living on one side
of town and whites on the other. Both have their fair share of
mysterious and interesting characters, and everyone has some-
thing to hide, or something they’re hiding from. When a young
white man is injured in what looks to be a typical hunting acci-
dent and is brought to the segregated Doctor’s hospital and later
dies, many things long hidden begin to reveal themselves.
With intriguing characters that all readers will be able to
identify with and a mystery sure to keep them guessing until the
last page, The Air Between Us is a heart-filled, endearing novel.
“ Forget all of the cheap, Southern stereotypes you have ever heard
and read this compelling, complex story about friendship, honor,
and human dignity during the demise of racial segregation.”
—Augusta Trobaugh, author of Sophie and the Rising Sun
“ Deborah Johnson performs a sly, entertaining dissection . . .
[She] offers a colorful, well-drawn story . . . languid though
purposeful . . . this enjoyable story evokes a world once hidden
in plain sight, and the inevitability of its end.”
—Washington Post Book World
Deborah Johnson is currently the executive director of the
Colom Foundation in Revere, MS, which principally works with
children and teenagers on improving race relations. She formerly
worked for Vatican Radio in Rome.
The Air Between Us
A NOVEL
Deborah Johnson
A captivating novel that will appeal to readers of
The Secret Life of Bees and Like Water for Elephants
about the fault lines–both seen and unseen–that
lie in a small Southern town as it struggles with
integration.

SISTERS OF THE HEART BOOK 2
Shelley Shepard Gray
In book two of the Sisters of the Heart series, Katie
Brenneman attempts to hide her true feelings for
Jonathan Lundy—and some secrets from her past
that go against their Amish way of life
Widower Jonathan Lundy, the man 20-year-old Katie Brenneman
has secretly always fancied, asks her to help him care for his two
young girls. While Katie can’t deny how her feelings have grown
for him, she fears her secret past and his broken heart may
make it hard for Jonathan to ever love her.
A note arrives reminding her of her rumspringa years and
threatening to expose secrets that she longs to keep well hidden.
It was a dark time for Katie. She dressed English, lied to her
parents, and almost fell in love with an Englisher. After realizing
how far she’d strayed from her values, she ran back home and
vowed to cut all ties with the outside world.
Will Katie be able to forgive herself for her transgressions and
allow herself to move forward in her life? Or will her inability to
receive God’s love keep her from everything she’s ever wanted?
Will she get her chance at true love?
The Sisters of the Heart series is Shelley Shepard Gray’s first
foray into inspirational fiction. Before writing romances, Shelley
taught school. She now lives in southern Ohio where she writes
full time and is an active member of her church.

The Amazing
Adventures of Dietgirl
Shauna Reid
Entertaining, hilarious, and honest, this is the
uplifting true story of a young woman who defeated
her demons and conquered her cravings to become a
weight-loss superhero to inspire us all
Twenty-three years old and 351 pounds, Shauna Reid made a bold
decision to start ardently living her life rather than sitting
at home with the fridge. She created the hugely successful
blog “The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl.” Hiding behind her
Lycra-clad roly-poly alter-ego, her transformation from couch
potato to svelte goddess began.
Today, 8,000 miles, seven years, and 175 pounds later, the
gloriously gorgeous Shauna is literally half the woman she used
to be. Hysterically funny and heart-wrenchingly candid, The
Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl follows the twists and turns of
Shauna’s crusade to get healthy, find a fulfilling job, travel the
world, and perhaps find a little romance. Shauna’s journey is
uplifting proof that one woman can change her life from the
outside in.
“The satisfaction you get from reading it is not only in its
humour and honesty, but learning that belief in yourself is
all you need to turn your world around.”
—Sunday World, Ireland
Shauna Reid grew up in Australia
and currently lives in Scotland.
She enjoys travel, pub quizzes, and
watching men’s tennis. As well as
her Dietgirl blog, she also writes
What’s New Pussycat?, which has
been featured in various news-
papers, magazines as well as on
television radio programs.

Mermaids in the
Basement
Michael Lee West
“West’s accent is Southern fried and brassy . . .
enjoyable.” —Los Angeles Times
Renata DeChavannes’ luck has run out. Twenty pounds over-
weight—and with a bad haircut to boot—her screenwriting
career is on the skids, she’s reeling from her mother’s sudden
death, and her producer-boyfriend is on the cover of tabloid
magazines with a big-busted flavor of the week.
Looking for a safe place to lick her wounds, Renata returns
to her beloved paternal grandmother’s home in Point Clear,
Alabama. Tucked away in a forgotten corner, Renata finds an
old steamer trunk full of clues to her troubled childhood, her
parents’ failed marriage, and her own uneasy relationship with
her womanizing heart-surgeon father.
Being back home fills Renata with hope of reconciliation.
She continues to excavate the belongings of her past, but find-
ing the truth isn’t always for the best; especially when a woman
discovers that everything she thought she knew about her par-
ents, and herself, is worse than a lie—it’s a tabloid cover story.
“Michael Lee West writes like the Morman Tabernacle
Choir sings—a thousand voices, all different, all together.”
—Diana Gabaldon
“[West] finds just the right voice for each of her creations.”
—The Providence Journal
is the author of Mad Girls in Love, Crazy
Ladies, American Pie, She Flew the Coop, and Consuming Passions.

Bring on the Blessings
Beverly Jenkins
Bestselling author Beverly Jenkins enthralls with
this rich and moving story of a small town in
trouble . . . and the woman who gives the people
who live there hope
Bernadine Brown considers her fortune a blessing and intends to

believes it’s a sign from Heaven and sets out to buy it.
Henry Adams was one of the few all-Black towns founded
after Reconstruction. More than a century later, it’s in desper-
ate need of cash, citizens, and a purpose. So Mayor Trenton
July took a chance and put his town up for sale on the Internet.
Now they have a new owner no one knows anything about, with
a plan that will surely turn their lives upside down.
A moving novel of faith and hope, this is Beverly Jenkins at
her storytelling best.
“[Jenkins] weaves together exhilarating plots with complex and
larger-than-life characters that draw you into the story.”
—Romantic Times BOOKreviews

A Dangerous Affair
Caro Peacock
In this follow-up to A Foreign Affair, we once
again get a glimpse into the world of Victorian
London—a world where appearances mean
everything, and behind the beautiful façade
can lie deception . . . and murder
After her world has been turned upside down, Liberty Lane
is now trying to find her way in early Victorian London. But
peace and quiet are not her destiny. A public fight between two
of London’s most beautiful dancers has amused fashionable
society—until one of the dancers is dead from poison and
the other is facing the hangman’s noose. With the help of
some of London’s most prominent citizens—including Disraeli
himself—Liberty decides to intervene, even though it is against
her own best interests and causes her heartache. To do so, she
travels to parts of the city that are definitely not places for a
lady, but there’s no place for a villain to hide once Liberty’s on
the case.
“A plucky protagonist who refuses to back down as an
increasingly murky plot surfaces . . . .”
—London’s Sunday Observer
Caro Peacock has a great interest in Victorian history, which
she considers a much misunderstood period—and particularly
the part played in it by independently-minded women. Caro rides
horses, climbs, trampolines, and spends some time every year
studying wildflowers in the Alps.
A Dangerous Affair will be published by Harper UK
in early 2009.

The Last Cowgirl
A NOVEL
Jana Richman
In the tradition of Pam Houston and Anita Shreve,
a powerhouse new talent delivers an unforgettable
emotional journey of loss, love, and healing
Dickie Sinfield’s father had a dream: to be a real cowboy—an
overpowering desire that propelled him to uproot his three chil-
dren from their comfortable suburban cocoon and replant them
on a dusty Utah ranch. Suddenly the young Dickie found her-
self herding cattle, attending rodeos, and wearing snap-button
shirts. Proclaiming her disdain for this new life, Dickie refused
to admit that deep down it suited her.
But that was long ago, and now Dickie is as far from the
ranch as possible. Trading in cattle roundups for traffic, cow-
boy boots for heels, she’s become a successful journalist in
Salt Lake City. Thanks to willful forgetfullness, she’s success-
fully put the experience of the ranch behind her, until a family
funeral pulls her back into her old world. As hard as she tries to
deny it, a cowboy heart beats strong inside this big city girl, and
now she must face both the past and some big decisions about
her future.
“Richman’s mastery of the emotional geography is illu-
minating and call(s) to mind the work of Pat Conroy.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Readers will be irrevocably drawn into this top-notch
fictional debut from an amazing new talent.”
—Booklist
Jana Richman is the author of Riding in the Shadows of Saints:
One Woman’s Story of Motorcycling the Mormon Trail. She lives
in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Don’t Let It Be True
Jo Barrett
A witty love story set in the uppercrust world of
modern Texas oil barons from a brilliant young talent
whose previous book was called “rare, impossible to
put down.” —Starred Booklist
Every woman in Texas has a dirty little secret. A secret which,
if revealed, could destroy her reputation, crush her fragile con-
fidence, and sully her good name forever.
The most common Texas dirty little secret had to do with
strippers. But for Kathleen King, even a secret life as an exotic
dancer would be better than her secret—her whole life as the
heir to the King dynasty is a sham.
“A great read, and great laugh—and now we guys know what’s
really going on in there!”
—Hugh Jackman on The Men’s Guide to the
Women’s Bathroom
“Barrett, the author of the international favorite The Men’s
Guide to the Women’s Bathroom (2007), has created another
winner with this fast, funny read.”
—Booklist (★starred review★)
Jo Barrett, a Texas native, has edited
several finance books, most notably,
The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for
Corporate America. Currently, she divides
her time between San Antonio, Austin, and
Houston, TX. Once in a while, when she
wants a good bagel, she goes to New York.
Jo Barrett has a TV deal with Hugh Jackman’s production
company for her first novel.

The Scent of Sake
Joyce Lebra
The stunning story of a woman’s struggles
to maintain her family’s honor while keeping her
secrets in the traditional culture of sake brewing
of 19th-century Japan
In a male-dominated society and an all-male industry, Rie,
daughter of the house of Omura, faces the challenges of an
enterprise where women are forbidden to even enter the
brewery. She has sworn to build a dynasty to make up for her
brother’s death. But how can she achieve this when her husband
drinks, philanders with geishas, and demands that the geishas
children be accepted as his heirs? How can she expel this blood
from the family line? She develops a combination of skillful
entrepreneurial innovation and canny marriage maneuvering in
her struggle to save the house and its honored enterprise, and in
the process builds the largest sake empire in the land.
Memoirs of a Geisha,
Snowflower and the Secret Fan, readers are endlessly
fascinated by this time period and setting.
Joyce Lebra is an internationally recog-
nized authority on the cultures of Japan and
India. She has lived and worked in Japan
for many years and taught Japanese history.

The “John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin,” handsome, charismatic
Paddy de Courcy, is the toast of Irish politics, an up-and-coming
leader whose popularity is unrivaled. Yet beneath his dazzling
smile and debonair ways beats the heart of a rat. Just ask Lola,
Grace, Marnie, and Alicia, a quartet of diverse women the
charming Paddy has loved and ignominiously left behind.
Told from the viewpoints of each woman, This Charming
Man explores how their love for this one man has shaped their
lives. As she unfolds their tales of fractured love, internationally
bestselling author Marian Keyes pays tribute to the emotional
strength that helps them beat back the demons of depression,
self-doubt, and abuse that haunt their lives and the sustenance
they find in work, friendship, and family.
With her keen insight, biting wit, and generous heart,
Keyes captures the realities of contemporary women’s lives—
their joys and sorrows, neuroses and triumphs—in a novel full
of lovable heroines readers can identify with. A celebration of
women’s humor, depth, and fortitude, This Charming Man will
entertain and satisfy aficionados and new fans alike.
“Keyes entertains every inch of the way.”
—Associated Press

Trophies
Heather Thomas
“Heather Thomas takes us on a thrill ride through
the wilds of Hollywood in this stiletto-sharp, wicked,
adrenaline-rush of a debut that will leave you breath-
less for more. As much fun as a pitcher of blended
margaritas, without the hangover!”
Look out First Wives Club! The Trophies have taken over and
they are playing for keeps!
Heather Thomas (“The Fall Guy”) introduces you to
Hollywood’s most elite group of influencers: the Second Wives
Club—or “Trophies” as she wryly nicknames her set, in this
blistering, barbed new roman-a-clef. Thomas, through her
marriage to powerful entertainment attorney Skip Brittenham,
has first-hand experiences of life among Los Angeles’s most
influential women. In this, her first novel, the “trophies” control
access to Hollywood’s most powerful men—and their money. As
Thomas puts it, “These ladies have time, money, glamour, and
a competitive hyper-drive that equals mega-influence. They are
major political fundraisers and undaunted cause-champions,
taking up social issues as cheerfully as decorating projects. They
don’t take “no” for an answer and heaven help those who cross
them—they can make or break Hollywood careers, social lives,
and marriages.
“ You’ll love the fearless, powerful women in Trophies—
flawlessly draped in Vera Wang, manicured hands pushing
buttons while scratching their way to the top.... Heather
Thomas has written a stiletto-heel-sharp satiric romp.”
—Arianna Huffington
touching.” —Harrison Ford
“ In this celebrity-driven culture, you probably think you know
this world. You don’t. Not until your read this delightful and
insightful first novel by Heather Thomas.” —Norman Lear
Heather Thomas starred as Jody Banks in The Fall Guy from
1981–1986 and she has appeared in several movies. She stopped
acting in 1998 to pursue a career as a screenwriter. She lives in
Los Angeles with her family.

AVON A TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
Decision and Destiny
COLETTE’S LEGACY
DeVa Gantt
Set in the 1830s, Decision and Destiny is
the second book in the Colette Trilogy, a sweeping
saga that chronicles the lives of the remarkable
Duvoisin family
Charmaine Ryan, governess for the wealthy Duvoisins, befriends
Colette, the mother of the children who are her charges. But
Colette is keeping a secret, and when she dies, the family she
has desperately attempted to hold together is torn asunder.
Frederic weds his sister-in-law, Agatha, much to his childrens’
horror. Agatha also guards a secret, and will pay the highest price
to keep it. Colette’s stepsons, the suave Paul and the cynical
John, reignite a boyhood rivalry that shakes the entire manor.
Frederic decides to emerge from his self-imposed isolation
and sets in motion events destined to destroy his family. And
Charmaine finds herself in the middle of a struggle for power,
acceptance . . . and love.
DeVa Gantt is the pseudonym for coauthor
sisters Debra and Valerie Gantt, career women,
homemakers, and mothers. Twenty-five years in
the making, the Colette Trilogy was conceived
in 1980. The authors, avid readers of historical
fiction, wrote diligently for three years, shelving
their work when they reached the turning point in the story—the
climax in Decision and Destiny. After a twenty-year hiatus, they
returned to the manuscript, bringing with them life experience
and a fresh insight as to where the Duvoisin story should lead.
In 2003, they completed the Colette Trilogy.

The Quality of Mercy
Faye Kellerman
A special reissue of Faye Kellerman’s beautiful
Elizabethan story that Publishers Weekly called
“a tour de force that shouldn’t be missed”
Rebecca Lopez enjoys a life of privilege in Elizabeth’s England—
yet she guards secrets she dares not reveal. The beautiful, tem-
pestuous daughter of the queen’s own physician, Rebecca is
also a Converso—a Jew who practices her prohibited religion
clandestinely, helping others of her banned faith escape per-
secution and death. And her insatiable hunger for excitement
often takes her to the bustling streets of London in male garb to
experience the kind of adventure available only to men.
But one such outing is leading her into a dangerous viper’s
nest built of intrigue and foul murder in the company of a dash-
ing young actor who inflames her romantic passions, even as
he escorts her toward peril, a charming and fearless would-be
playwright who calls himself Will Shakespeare.
“Absolutely absorbing . . . Kellerman is terrific.”
—New York Newsday
Faye Kellerman lives with her husband, New York Times
bestseller Jonathan Kellerman, and their children in Los Angeles,
Santa Fe, and New York.

Flight Lessons
Patricia Gaffney
“Family and home are among the issues Gaffney
deftly probes. . . . It’s a simple recipe, but Gaffney
adds ingredients like a master chef for a fresh and
filling story.” —People
Growing up, Anna loved her aunt Rose as much as she loved
her own mother. The still- single Rose was exotic, glamorous,
and represented to Anna the kind of life she wanted, not the
dull routine of the married woman. But when Anna’s mother lies
dying, Anna finds out that Rose betrayed them both in the worst
way. Now Anna is an adult and suffers yet another betrayal, this
time at the hands of her lover.
Rose has struggled for twenty years to regain Anna’s trust
but it seems to be in vain—even though her niece has come
home it’s clear that she hasn’t come home to stay. And feelings
between them remain as frosty as ever. Anna is so consumed
with leaving home again that she fails even to recognize true
love when it reaches up to grab her by the heart.
Moving, funny, and ultimately reassuring about love and
life, Flight Lessons is everything Patricia Gaffney’s readers
expect, and more.
“A jewel of a book and every facet sparkles.”
—Nora Roberts
Patricia Gaffney was born in Tampa, but grew up in Bethesda,
MD. After a brief stint as a high school English teacher, Gaffney
worked as a freelance court reporter for fifteen years. She and
her husband currently live in Blue Ridge Summit, PA, where she
writes fiction full time.

Shelter Me
Juliette Fay
“Juliette Fay can hit the high notes of emotion
with unexpected moments of redemption and
wry humor.” —New York Times bestselling author
Jacqueline Sheehan, author of Lost & Found
After the sudden death of her husband, Janie LaMarche
is swamped by tides of grief and rage. Yet she’s forced to
confront the onward march of her life by an unlikely cast of
interventionists: her two small children, her Ipecac-toting aunt,
the “unflinchingly nice” parish priest, and the contractor hired
by her husband to build her a porch, whose involvement in
her family’s life becomes more ingrained with every beam he
installs.
Reminiscent of Lolly Winston’s Good Grief, yet imbued
with the quirky, humane qualities of Anne Tyler’s work, Shelter
Me reminds us that the terrain of one’s future is best navigated
with the help of others—even the ones we least expect to call
on, much less learn to love.
“Shelter Me is a richly told story that offers a keyhole
into the pain and searing grief losing a loved one brings
to a family. That pain is balanced against humor and the
need to care-take life’s day-to-day demands and relation-
ships until one day, you realize you have the capability to
love again. Fay writes with vivid dialogue and conjures
up characters that feel real enough to be sitting in your
kitchen.” —Lee Woodruff, author of In an Instant
Juliette Fay received a bachelor’s degree from
Boston College and a master’s degree from
Harvard University. She lives in Massachusetts
with her husband and four children. Shelter Me
is her first novel.

Perdona si te
llamo amor
[Forgive Me If I Call You My Love SPA]
NOVELA [A NOVEL]
Federico Moccia
With more than one million copies sold, Perdona si
te llamo amor is part of what people are calling the
“Moccia phenomenon.” This novel creates a con-
temporary love story that challenges preset social
principles to define the meaning of true love
Niki is a young and responsible woman, mature for her age,
attending her last year in high school. Alessandro is a successful
37-year-old publicist who has just broken up with his long-term
girlfriend. In spite of their 20-year age difference—a genera-
tional gap lurking as an abyss that separates them— Niki and
Alessandro fall madly in love and will live out a passionate love
story that will defy all conventions and social prejudices.
Perdona si te llamo amor is a delicious novel about the
power of love and an unintentional travel guide to an incred-
ible city. This contemporary love story will make you want to
hop on the next plane to Rome to quench your romantic desire
and wander the streets in search of love, restaurants, and the
espresso shops that dot the city.
“A novel that makes for urban legend... a literary
phenomenon.” —El Pais
Federico Moccia, bestselling author has worked as television
set designer and scriptwriter. He has published two other novels:
Tre metri sopra il cielo and Ho voglia di te. All three of his novels

From personal and professional success beyond her dreams, to
stunning turns of events in her personal life (all of which played
out in the media), María Antonieta Collins has had some won-
derful highs tempered with some truly soul-crushing lows.
To guide her through these tough times, she has created
three basic commandments to live by, ones she repeats to herself
day and night: “Porque quiero, porque puedo y porque me da la
gana” (Because I want to, because I can, and because I feel like
it). This mantra has helped to create a new “Maria Antonieta.”
Through her personal stories of struggles and triumphs, she
illustrates her sassy, unstoppable advice on self-empowerment,
and notes that all of us already have everything we need to make
us happy, the trick is in realizing our full potential and living life
like there is no tomorrow.
María Antonieta Collins, has received numerous awards
including two Emmys, and the Edward R. Murrow Award in
1997. She lives in Miami.

Pasión india
[Indian Passion SPA]
NOVELA [A NOVEL]
Javier Moro
Full of exotic flavors and colors, this novel tells an
irresistable love story of a spanish woman and her
marriage to an Indian Maharaja.
On January 28th, 1908, a seventeen year-old Spaniard, sitting
on a luxuriously adorned elephant, makes her way into a small
town in Northern India. The entire town is out on the streets,
paying warm tribute to the new princess. It may sound like a
fairy tale, but this was how Andalusian Anita Delgado wed the
very rich Kaurthala Maharaja.
After meticulous investigations in Europe and India, Javier
Moro reveals with absolute detail, the secrets of a relationship
that culminated in one of the biggest scandals in English India.
He places us in the fabulous world of the Maharajas, with their
Thousand and One Nights harems, their erotic bacchanals, and
their passion for jewelry, palaces, flamenco, horses, Rolls Royce,
and tiger hunts.

Prepare to enter a fascinating, primitive universe that takes
readers back to the very beginning, to the story which our
Judeo-Christian civilization is based on. Poetry and mystery go
hand in hand in this transcendent novel about Man, as never
before imagined. Join Adam and Eve as they discover the world
for themselves, feel their confusion and panic when faced with
punishment, and observe in awe as they experience the power to
give life, as well as the cruelty behind having to kill to survive.
In what is a parable for our own time, and our own uncer-
tain future, Gioconda Belli has written a novel as beguiling as it
is soulfully rewarding.
Gioconda Belli’s poetry and
fiction have been published in
many languages. El infinito en
la palma de la mano was recent-
ly awarded the 2008 Biblioteca
Breve Award. She lives in Santa
Monica and Managua.

La catástrofe que viene
[Field Notes from a Catastrophe SPA]
EL HOMBRE, LA NATURALEZA Y EL
CALENTAMIENTO GLOBAL
[Man, Nature, and Climate Change]
Elizabeth Kolbert
Kolbert provides a compelling introduction to the
global warming crisis. As she describes it, we are at
the forefront of a “climate regime, one with which
modern humans have had no prior experience”
Long known for her insightful and thought-provoking political
journalism, author Elizabeth Kolbert now tackles the con-
troversial and increasingly urgent subject of global warming.
In what began as groundbreaking three-part series in The New
Yorker, for which she won a National Magazine Award in 2006,
Kolbert cuts through the competing rhetoric and political agen-
das to elucidate what is really going on with the global environ-
ment and asks what, if anything, can be done to save our planet.
Field Notes from a Catastrophe is the book to read on the defining
issue and greatest challenge of our times.
“Important…Precise and measured…. [Kolbert] lets
readers connect the dots to form a frightening (and still
avoidable) vision of our future. [Grade:] A.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Kolbert’s calmly persuasive reporting stands out for its
sobering clarity.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Elizabeth Kolbert was a reporter for the New York Times for
fourteen years before becoming a staff writer covering politics
for The New Yorker. She and her husband, John Kleiner, have
three sons. They live in Williamstown, MA.

In 1948 a handsome priest named August Day arrives in the
well-ordered town of Mercy, Manitoba, to take over the church
of St. Mary Immaculate. In the first days of his tenure he falls
in love with the young bride of the town butcher. Their mutual
obsession grows to the point that its aftermath leaves scars on
the town decades and generations after their love affair is over.
“A debut that’s pure magic. . . [Mercy] is stunning in
its emotive power and emotional resonance. York’s
prose is taut and finely honed; her themes and the
characters and settings that propel them are far-
reaching and profound. It’s sensual, full of yearning
and longing for the heat of love.
–The Hamilton Spectator
Alissa York has won several of Canada’s leading literary prizes
for emerging young writers. She lives with her husband in
Winnipeg, Manitoba.

sT e p h e n Ki n g
HarperAudio is proud to present two power-packed short
stories by masters of the genre. “Duel” by Richard Matheson, an
unforgettable story about a man menaced by a semi truck, was the
source for Stephen Spielberg’s acclaimed first film. “Throttle,” by
Stephen King and Joe Hill, is a duel of a different kind, pitting
a faceless trucker against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws, in the
simmering Nevada desert. Their battle is fought out on twenty
miles of the most lonely road in the country, a place where the only
thing worse than not knowing what you’re up against, is slowing
down. Road Rage brings together Matheson’s classic work with
the contemporary work that it inspired—two masterfully crafted
short stories by three of the genre’s most acclaimed authors—all
in one package.

B Is for Beer
To m ro b b i n s
Bestselling author Tom Robbins’
first fiction in five years (and
maybe his most audacious ever),
B Is for Beer explores various
aspects of suds culture—ancient,
modern, and otherworldly; brutal,
sophomoric, and divine—and
dramatizes the surprising things
that happen when the life of a
spunky kindergartner named Gracie Perkel intersects
with each.

Re a d b y aR c h i b a l d ma c le i s h
Henry David Thoreau joins The Caedmon Essentials Program with
Archibald MacLeish reading excerpts from Thoreau’s personal
journals. Ranging in topic from entries titled “Young Women at
Parties” to “Sunlight after Storm,” the Journal is neither diary nor
autobiography in the usual meaning of these terms, because the
daily chronicle and the narrative of outward events are minor
aspects of this voluminous work. The Journal is clearly not the
work of a diarist, but the notebook of a writer dedicated to the
continuous practice of composition.

Ask Amy, comes a heartfelt memoir about becoming a single
mom and raising her daughter in her tiny hometown of Freeville

Baseball Great
Tim gr e e n
Josh feels like he’s starting to make it big! Jaden, the school
reporter, says he’s going to take the baseball team to number one.
Then Josh’s dad pulls him off the field and signs him up with
Coach Rocky Valentine’s youth championship team, the Titans.
He says Josh has what it takes to be a baseball great—and the
Titans will help him get there.
Now Josh is gulping down Rocky’s “Super Stax” milkshakes to
build muscle; and trying to fit in with his new teammates—older,
tougher kids who can suddenly become violent. All Josh really

Walk Two Moons

As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe Winterbottom’s
extensively strange story, her own begins to unfold—that of a
13-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing
mother.
In her own award–winning style, Sharon Creech intricately
weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a
heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss,
and the complexity of human emotion.

A Clearer Perspective on Larger Print Books
HarperLuxe is dedicated to serving a growing number of readers who
are more comfortable reading larger print. Our books are beautifully
designed with eye-strain-free type in lightweight paperback editions.
What’s Better About HarperLuxe?
Attractive Design
More Selection—HarperLuxe will be publishing an expanded list with
a much broader selection of titles and authors. You’ll be able to find
HarperLuxe editions of titles by bestselling authors such as
Ray Bradbury, Michael Crichton, Paulo Coelho, J. A. Jance,
Neil Gaiman, Julia Quinn, and more.
Easier to Order—HarperLuxe is easier to order than ever. All orders
will be printed and fulfilled by HarperCollins, making smaller print
runs and a larger title selection possible.
Visit www.harperluxe.com for additional information
and to sign up for the HarperLuxe newsletter.
Standard 11-point type
HarperLuxe titles feature
wide margins and 14-point
type —easier on the eyes
than standard 11-point type,
but not quite as conspicu-
ously large as the 16-point
type traditionally associated
with large print.
HarperLuxe 14-point type
HarperLuxe titles feature wide
margins and 14-point type —
easier on the eyes than standard
11-point type, but not quite as
conspicuously large as the
16-point type traditionally
associated with large print.
HarperLuxe Is Garnering Fantastic Reviews
“ It’s about time! HarperLuxe is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, both as
a reader and a writer. Thanks, Harper, for making life just a little easier for
all of us.” —Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author
“ I was thrilled to hear that HarperCollins is again moving forward to
anticipate readers’ needs by introducing the new HarperLuxe editions for
easier reading. Such an innovation is long overdue.” —James Rollins,
New York Times bestselling author
“ What a relief it was to come across the new HarperLuxe. The text was so
large and legible that even someone as nearsighted as I am could read it
easily—without my glasses, if I felt like showing off.” —Robert Masello,
author of Robert’s Rules of Writing and the thriller Bestiary
“ When I received and dipped into my first HarperLuxe title, to my
amazement I found I didn’t need my ‘reader’s’ glasses. No squinting! . . .
Congratulations on finding the solution for avid readers.” —Marjorie Hart,
author of Summer at Tiffany
“ HarperLuxe makes the reading experience that much more enjoyable
without sacrificing anything on design.” —Lisa Scottoline,
New York Times bestselling author of Daddy’s Girl and Dirty Blonde
One in six Americans forty-five years of age and older report some form of
vision impairment—even when wearing glasses or contact lenses.
Avid readers and computer users—who can read their favorite books without
eye strain.
Multitaskers—gym enthusiasts, cooks, gardeners, and other busy individuals
who can read at a greater distance from the page.
Travelers and commuters—who can read more easily on bumpy rides or in
low light.
