The quest to slay LARP ignorance is at an end
Leaving Mundania
Inside the Transformative World of Live Action
Role Playing Games
Lizzie Stark
“A thrilling read. Stark presents a deep and true picture of one of the
most compelling communities in contemporary leisure: the world of
live-action role play.” —Gary Alan Fine, author,
Shared Fantasy: Role-Playing Games as Social Worlds
“Rarely does a book so deftly crack open the everyday world to
reveal the riot of imagination within. With humor, intelligence, and
more than a little bravery, Lizzie Stark guides us into the vast subcul-
ture of larping, where lawyers become vampire hunters and systems
analysts turn into knights. Hilarious, honest, and enlightening,
Leaving Mundania reminds us how thin the boundaries are between
the roles we play and the selves we believe ourselves to be.”

Exposing a subculture only beginning to enter the imagination of
mainstream America, this is the story of live action role-playing

historical reenactment, fandom, and good old-fashioned pretend—
LARP games are thriving and this book explores their multifaceted
culture and related phenomena, including the Society for Creative
Anachronism, a medieval reenactment group that boasts more than
32,000 members. The history of LARP is detailed and is shown to
have arisen from the pageantry of Tudor England and is currently
being used as a training tool for the U.S. military. Along the way, the

Excerpt from episode guide for season 3, episode “Gridlock”:

While there have been lots of allegories employed during Doctor Who’s history—the Daleks as an allegory for Nazism
would be the number one example—“Gridlock” is Doctor Who’s first sustained foray into the world of allegory. The whole
construction of the story is allegorical. In the same way that Bunyan’s pilgrim travels through a world that is a representation
of the Christian soul in the 18th century, so does Russell T Davies plumb the depths of 21st century culture: our travellers
start in Pharmacy Town and make their way into a quarter-century long traffic jam where five miles is travelled in decades.
No matter who you are, everyone inevitably winds up on the motorway . . . till the journey’s end.
That’s why the “science” of “could there really be a world where people are stuck in their cars for decades?” matters
absolutely not one whit. “Gridlock” is not meant to be realistic, any more than Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels or Beckett’s Waiting
for Godot were meant to be realistic. Like the room that is Hell in Sartre’s play No Exit, the whole world the Doctor and
Martha find themselves in is part of a larger allegorical meditation on the human condition.
The most powerful scene in the episode finds the Doctor desperately trying to convince Brannigan and his wife that there is
no help coming from outside and their journey is futile just as the perky hologram Sally Calypso leads everyone on the
motorway in singing “The Old Rugged Cross.” Brannigan tells the Doctor, “We’re not abandoned. Not while we have each
other.” As everyone sings the hymn, suddenly the message becomes clear. We’re seeing a world where human progress has
taken its people so far and they not only don’t see a way out, they’re pretty much content with their dismal lot. They just
keep blindly believing in the possibility of help from outside—even though there’s no evidence whatsoever that there is any
help, much less any outside—while holding onto, in whatever ways they can, to the communities they have from within.

A biographical homage to the master of horror
Young Lovecraft
José Oliver
Illustrations by Bartolo Torres
An alternate vision of the biography of H. P. Lovecraft, this fanciful, gothic account imagines the childhood years of an author who
would go on to write such innovative, weird fiction as the Cthulhu Mythos story cycle and the classic tome Necronomicon. Derived
from the popular webcomic, each panel in this series imagines how Lovecraft’s childhood would have occurred had he been visited by
the horrendous creatures that later appeared in his finest fiction. Fans of Lovecraft will enjoy this humorous view of a misanthropic
boy dealing with bullies and literary rejection as only a gothic can—with a large book of witchcraft and a few miscast spells.
José Oliver has been published in many Spanish comics publications, including Amaniaco and Cthulhu. Bartolo Torres is an award-
winning illustrator who has been published in magazines such as Belio, Esquitx, Proa, and Tos.

A biographical homage to the master of horror
Young Lovecraft
Volume 2
José Oliver
Illustrations by Bartolo Torres
Continuing the alternate biography of a true legend of horror, this book follows Little “Howie” Lovecraft and his ghoulish crew of
friends as they deal with the boredoms and challenges of youth, from the labors of daily homework—and the misadventures of the
golem created to do the work instead—to dealing with Siouxie, the new girl in class who just moved from Detroit. Using an expressive
style to capture the anxieties of Lovecraft’s youthful episodes, the illustrations complement the plot that is at once humorous,
macabre, and ever gothic. Each of the artistic panels are peppered with artful references to Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Rimbaud, Herman
Melville, Nick Cave, Siouxsie Sioux, and the Misfits.

Extraordinary artwork and a suspenseful,

intriguing fantasy tale
Rohan at the Louvre

Hirohiko Araki
“A clever upending of the resilient myth that masterworks of art
preserve the history and spirit of their era; the meaning of art, De
Crecy suggests, belongs to the people who experience it.”
—Washington Post on Glacial Period
“A heavy metal blur of collaged drawings, engravings, and digital
images, Eric Liberge’s graphic novel . . . presents the Louvre in
an imaginative way.” —Sasha Watson, Art News
on On the Odd Hours
• Co-op available
Stunning illustrations depict an original fantasy story in this cap-
tivating graphic novel. As Rohan, a young Japanese manga artist,
is drawing, he meets a mysterious, beautiful woman who tells
him of a cursed 200-year-old painting. The painting was created
using the blackest ink ever known, which came from a 1,000-
year-old tree that the painter had cut down without the approval
of the Emperor. The painter was executed for this, but the paint-
ing was saved from destruction by a curator of the Louvre. A
decade later, Rohan visits Paris and asks the museum to unearth
the painting from deep within its archives—but he is completely
unprepared for the power of the curse he has unleashed.
Hirohiko Araki is a manga artist and the author of the JoJo’s
Bizarre Adventure series and the Steel Ball Run series, both of
which have been serialized in the popular weekly magazine
Shonen Jump.

A flourish of frightful fun in this ode to slasher flicks
The Slasher Movie Book

J. A. Kerswell
“Whether you’re an old-school fright fanatic looking to relive the grindhouse glory or a horror newbie seeking guidance while travers-
ing the genre’s expansive landscape, [this book] is a magnificent read for the entirety of horror’s spectrum of fans.” —Fangoria
• Co-op available
A detailed look at the surprising beginnings of the slasher movie—a genre that brought a new high in cinematic violence and suspense
to mainstream cinema—this grisly guidebook revels in its glory days of the late 1970s and early 1980s and discusses its recent resur-
gence. Packed with reviews of the best (and worst) slasher movies and illustrated with an extensive collection of distinctive and often
graphic color poster artwork from around the world, this book also looks at the political, cultural, and social influences on the slasher
movie and its own effect on other film genres. Also included are a list of the top-10 body count films, trivia about famous actors who
made their big-screen debuts in slasher films, a glossary of need-to-know terms, a list of additional reading, and recommendations of
websites to head to for additional macabre movies.

“You know from seeing it that Herzog was up to

something strange in filming Heart of Glass. Now
the mystery is clarified. Alan Greenberg peers into
the heart of darkness of the great artist.”
—Roger Ebert
Every Night the Trees Disappear

Werner Herzog and the Making of Heart of Glass
Alan Greenberg
Foreword, Afterword, and Scenario by Werner Herzog
“Alan Greenberg was there when Werner Herzog shot the legendary
film Heart of Glass, and it is this acute witness that informs one of
the best books about the art of cinema ever published.”
—Stephen Davis, author, Hammer of the Gods
“Alan Greenberg’s book, which plunges you far into the unstable
depths of the creative process, is delirious, madcap, beautifully
observed and rendered, and genuinely exhilarating.” —Luc Sante,
author, Low Life

This intimate chronicle about the visionary filmmaker Werner
Herzog explores his unorthodox methods in directing the film Heart
of Glass. Twenty-four-year-old Alan Greenberg showed up unan-
nounced at Herzog’s Munich home; by the end of their first evening
together Herzog urged him to collaborate on his current project—
and everything thereafter. Sharing how unusual Herzog’s renegade
filmmaking methods could be, Greenberg explains how Herzog hyp-
notized the actors prior to shooting their scenes, creating a profound-
ly haunting cinematic experience. More than a conventional
journalistic account, this book interweaves the original screenplay
with Greenberg’s observations from his work on the film, allowing
the married texts to play off each other hypnotically and create a
unique vision with the feel of a novel—intimate, penetrating, and
filled with mystery.
Alan Greenberg is a writer, film director, film producer, and photog-
rapher. His film Land of Look Behind won the Gold Hugo Award at
the Chicago International Film Festival, and he has collaborated
with Werner Herzog for more than 35 years, helping him write the
screenplay of Fitzcarraldo, among others. He is also the author of
Love in Vain: A Vision of Robert Johnson. He lives in Portland,
Oregon. Werner Herzog is considered one of the world’s greatest
filmmakers. His films include Aguirre, the Wrath of God; Bad
Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans; Cave of Forgotten Dreams;
Encounters at the End of the World; The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser;
Fitzcarraldo; Grizzly Man; The Wild Blue Yonder; and Woyzeck. His
books include Conquest of the Useless and Of Walking in Ice. He
lives in Los Angeles.

Catch a wave to good vibrations
Fifty Sides of
the Beach Boys
The Songs that Tell Their Story
Mark Dillon
Reflecting on the Beach Boys’ long, fascinating
history, this book tells the story behind 50 of the
band’s greatest songs from the perspective of
group members, collaborators, fellow musicians,
and notable fans. It is filled with new interviews
with music legends such as Brian Wilson, Mike
Love, Alan Jardine, Bruce Johnston, David
Marks, Blondie Chaplin, Randy Bachman, Roger
McGuinn, John Sebastian, Lyle Lovett, Alice
Cooper, and Al Kooper, and commentary from a
younger generation such as Matthew Sweet,
Carnie Wilson, Daniel Lanois, Cameron Crowe,
and Zooey Deschanel. Even hardcore fans will
be delighted by the breadth of this musical-histo-
ry volume. Plans for celebrating the golden
anniversary of “America’s band” include the
long-awaited release of 1967’s Smile—the most
famous aborted album in rock history—and con-
certs reuniting the group’s three main surviving
members. The band’s music is as influential as it was 50 years ago, and this retelling of how the iconic rock group found itself in the
annals of pop culture couldn’t come at a better time.
Mark Dillon is a freelance journalist and writer. He is the former editor of Playback, the business publication of the Canadian film
and television industries. His articles have also appeared in American Cinematographer, Globe and Mail, Hollywood Reporter, and

ECW PRESS JUNE
Liberty for permission, believing their label would be more than happy about the high-profile
exposure. “They said ‘Well, then we want in writing that The Beach Boys will reciprocate by
doing a project with you where we can use their likenesses and The Beach Boys brand name,’”
Dean recalls. “We said we didn’t have a project yet, and they said, ‘Unless you come up with
something we can get in writing, you’re not to be on the Party! record.’ Jan had just bought a
new house, and he wasn’t that interested in having them hold up any royalties, so he capitulated
and said, ‘Okay, we promise. We won’t.’”
As it turned out, Jan & Dean were working at Western Studio one night when The Beach Boys
were in the building recording the album. When Jan got wrapped up in some technical issue, the
lure of the nearby revelry proved too great for Dean. “So I said ‘I’m going down to The Beach
Boys’ studio for a couple of minutes,’ and Jan said, ‘Don’t sing on anything!’ I said ‘Don’t worry,
I won’t sing. I don’t want to get us in any trouble.’ Within three minutes I was singing. I didn’t
give a crap. I hadn’t bought a new house, so it didn’t matter to me,” he says. . . .
Upon Dean’s appearance, the group asked if he wanted to sing. Sure, he said, suggesting
“Barbara Ann,” which he knew well. . . .
Of the Party! session, Dean recalls, “We started and stopped it and changed the key because we
hadn’t really planned to do the song. We were winging it. I had to be back at my studio, so we
knocked it out in about 10 to 15 minutes, tops.”

Sentiments of merriment, well-being, and mirth
A Private History of Happiness

Ninety-Nine Moments of Joy
from Around the World
George Myerson
• Co-op available
A chronicle of happiness and pleasant moments from ancient Greece
to more recent times, this collection contains 99 passages designed to
give an uplifting perspective to modern life. Instead of advocating the
latest gimmick, guide, or formula, this book offers a wider perspective
on everyday instances of happiness from different times and many cul-
tures, advocating that happiness is found within the self instead of a
political mantra, Internet meme, or advertisement promise. Including
noteworthy writers and thinkers such as Marcus Aurelius, Matsuo
Basho, George Eliot, Louisa May Alcott, and many others, the pas-
sages relate the shared experiences of happiness throughout time, fol-
lowed by a brief description and commentary that encourages further
reflection and exploration. These moving and often beautiful expres-
sions are drawn from intimate sources such as diaries, letters, and
memoirs; and reveal how earlier generations of various cultures found
happiness often in the smallest, most commonplace circumstances.
George Myerson has published a number of books on ancient and
contemporary culture, and modern thought. He holds a PhD in
English from Cambridge University, and was a reader in English at
King’s College London.

Index
This book starts by approaching happiness in terms of individual experience. On some days in people’s
lives a happy feeling unfolded like flowering sunlight, in a kiss or a “chit-chat” or a sudden thought or a
simple feeling of warmth. By enjoying their personal accounts, we develop a new understanding of happi-
ness naturally, without looking for a master formula or any short cuts.

book for anyone who’s been wondering about conspiracies,
but didn’t know where to start. One warning, however:

This compelling encyclopedic reference includes hundreds
of individuals, organizations, and events where official
claims and standard explanations of actions and events
remain shrouded in mystery. It examines the most common
subjects among conspiracy theorists, from historical topics

of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to more cur-
rent issues such as the death of Princess Diana, FEMA’s
response following hurricane Katrina, and the recent earth-
quake and tsunami in Japan. With photographs and illustrations, a list of resources for further investigation, and a comprehensive
index for thorough cross-checking, this dossier debunks popular myths and presents the evidence on an invisible world of influence
and power. Separating fact from fiction, this reference provides gripping details and presents the information without bias and, updat-
ed and expanded, includes information on nearly 40 new subjects.

The man at the epicenter of the WikiLeaks

controversy
Private
Bradley Manning, WikiLeaks, and the Biggest
Exposure of Official Secrets in American History
Denver Nicks
• Co-op available
• Advertising in American Prospect, In These Times, Mother Jones, Nation,
and Progressive
Providing insight into Bradley Manning’s background, this biogra-
phy paints a nuanced portrait that disputes his depiction in the
mainstream media. As the alleged source to WikiLeaks for the
biggest breach of military security in American history, Bradley
Manning has been inaccurately described as a combative outcast, a
bullied and embittered homosexual, and a loser grasping for notori-
ety; however, this exploration into his past depicts a young man
haunted by demons and driven by hope, forced into an ethically
fraught situation by a dysfunctional military bureaucracy. The
Manning this book uncovers is impulsive and cocky, yet idealistic
enough to follow his conscience. In leaking a vast collection of
American secrets, he thought he was doing the right thing. His story
is one of global significance, and yet he remains an enigma. Now, for
the first time, the full truth will be told about a man who, at the age
of only 22, changed the world.
Denver Nicks is a journalist who has worked in the United States,
Europe, Central America, and East Asia. He has reported on the

Excerpt:
“What I kept hearing over and over and over was that he couldn’t survive, he wasn’t
going to make it through, he wasn’t going to make it out,” said [Manning’s friend]
Jason Edwards, “and I kept repeating to him ‘just get through this, this will end,
you’ll get out of there and your time of duty will be over.’” Jason interpreted Brad’s
messages [from FOB Hammer, near Baghdad] as a cry for help, and potentially suici-
dal. He would return to the computer to find messages Brad left for him while he was
away: “I’m not going to make it out, I’m not going to survive, I’m not going to get
through this,” as Jason recalled. But Jason was by now in a new relationship and
emotionally invested elsewhere. . . . For many of the people to whom he considered
himself closest, Brad Manning was out of sight, out of mind.
“The last thing I really remember Bradley saying to me,” Jason said, “was on AOL
Instant Messenger and he said ‘you’re going to hear some news that’s going to shock
the world.’ I don't recall any conversations after that.”

The life story of one of the most politically active

and controversial people in the 20th century
Citizen Lane
Defending Our Rights in the Courts, the Capitol,
and the Streets
Mark Lane
Foreword by Martin Sheen
“Mark Lane’s inspirational life is told here in riveting, page-turning
fashion. Lawyer, prolific author, state legislator, civil rights activist,
peace advocate, and lifelong crusader for the kind of justice the
courts and the constitution should but often fail to provide, Lane
draws together in this autobiography his many previous books as
well as his long duels with the CIA and lesser centers of power.”

University of Virginia, and author, Coming of Age in Utopia

• Author’s previous books sold more than one million copies
Freedom Rider, friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dick Gregory’s vice-
presidential running mate, legal defense at Wounded Knee, survivor
of the Jonestown Massacre—Mark Lane has been inspiring social
consciousness, influencing history makers, and inciting controversy
for more than six decades. In Citizen Lane he tells the story of his
remarkable life, demonstrating how a single dedicated individual
can fight for the underdog, provoke the establishment, and trigger
change. From the streets to the courtroom, he has been on the front
lines in the events that shaped a generation in opposition to govern-
ment excesses and war. Icons of the American political and social
landscape appear throughout his narrative as Lane’s cohorts and
companions and as his vicious opponents. Radical leaders embraced
him; the FBI and CIA tried to destroy him. No one who dealt with Excerpt:

José Peirats
Edited by Chris Ealham Also available:
A careful chronicle of political change and hope in 1930s Spain, this staggering work examines how the
Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) rose up against the oppressive structures of Spanish society.
Documenting a history of revolution that failed at the hands of its enemies on both the reformist left and
reactionary right, this intelligent account covers all areas of the anarchist experience—from the sponta-
neous militias and the revolutionary collectives to the moral dilemmas occasioned by the clash of revolu-
tionary ideals and the stark reality of the war effort. A passionately written and carefully indexed
edition, it is the only in-depth English-language text available and converts the work into a usable tool
for historians and anarchists alike.

references. The study confronts its subject with a quirky sense of
humor in the spirit of the “bedtime story,” providing a rare, evangel-
ical Christian volume addressed directly to the gay community.
Unorthodox in its presentation, this guide speaks the language of
those who may feel abandoned, condemned, and damned while
avoiding reinterpretations of scriptural passages, making the gospel
accessible to a younger, free-spirited generation. Spearheading a
volatile topic with candor and grace, it reframes the never-ending
question, Is homosexuality a sin? and instead asks the gay commu-
nity for a cease-fire—to forgive, love, and help put a stop to a cul-
tural war being waged in the world.

something is the thing he also wants . . . you are certain to
receive it. As it turns out, it seems God isn’t so much about
luxury cars and winning the lottery, no matter what those
Mega-Pastors may lead you to believe. He seems to be a
tad less materialistically minded and more into the zen
kinds of requests. Like learning how to turn distractions
off and hear him speak through the silence . . . like learn-
ing how to forgive and return good for evil, and turning
other cheeks.
God did in fact begin to speak to me—and that happened
when I took some time to turn things off. Like the radio,
newspapers, films and magazines. When I carved out a
good solid two weeks of silence—God began to speak.
And man was he chatty. I guess he doesn’t have as many
friends as he used to—
It’s a pity, as he turned out to be the best friend I’ve ever

Making Cushion Covers

Debbie Shore
Showcasing cushions as a great way of brightening up a
room and adding a personal touch, this book offers 26
gorgeous designs in a range of contemporary styles and
fabrics, with numerous ideas and inspiration for more
unique creations. Uncomplicated and easy to follow, the
guide is readily accessible to complete beginners with step-
by-step photographs and no-fuss instructions. The projects
also show how crafters can achieve a designer look at a
fraction of the cost by recycling items from around the
house—such as children’s clothes, old jeans, unused table-
cloths, last year’s bedding, ribbons, buttons, and more—
and incorporating them into their pillow cover designs.
Debbie Shore produces her own range of instructional
DVDs and writes a regular column for a popular sewing
magazine.

Action-rich tales in a fantastical framework
The Sword & Sorcery Anthology

Edited by David G. Hartwell and Jacob Weisman
“Over the past quarter century, Hartwell has built a well-deserved
reputation in SF, fantasy and horror as an editor extraordinaire. In
addition to discovering many of the leading luminaries in the genre,
he has produced a pool of anthologies that attempt to stand as
definitive volumes.” —Publishers Weekly
• Co-op available
• Advertising in Locus magazine
• Includes George R.R. Martin’s novella Path of the Dragon,
a supplement to A Song of Ice and Fire: A Storm of Swords
Terrifying barbarians, cunning mages, and daring heroes run ram-
pant through these exceptional examples of the exciting sword and
sorcery genre. In “Tower of the Elephant,” Conan takes up jewel
thievery but proves to be far better with his sword. “The Flamer
Bringers” finds antihero Elric infiltrating a band of bloodthirsty
mercenaries and outwitting a powerful sorcerer. “Become a Warrior”
is the unexpected tale of a child who loses all she holds dear, only to
gain unforeseen power and unlikely revenge. Further entries come
from early legends such as Jack Vance and Catherine Louise Moore,
the next wave of talents including Fritz Leiber and Michael
Moorcock, and modern trendsetters like George R.R. Martin, Karl
Edward Wagner, and David Drake. This essential, fast-paced anthol-
ogy is a chronological gathering of influential, inventive, and enter-
taining fantasy—sure to appeal to action-oriented fans.

Presenting the posthuman future in its wildest science-fictional imag-
inings and intriguing speculations, this far-reaching anthology of fic-
tion and nonfiction traces the path of the Singularity, an era when
advances in technology totally transform human reality. The fea-

Wells and the almost-human, near future of Ray Kurzweil to
Elizabeth Bear’s fusion of woman, machine, God, and shark and

The year is 2035. After ecological disasters nearly destroyed the Earth,
26 survivors—the last of humanity—are trapped by an alien race in a
sterile enclosure known as the Shell. Fifteen-year-old Pete is one of the
Six—children who were born deformed or sterile and raised in the
Shell. As, one by one, the survivors grow sick and die, Pete and the Six
struggle to put aside their anger at the alien Tesslies in order to find the
means to rebuild the earth together. Their only hope lies within brief
time-portals into the recent past, where they bring back children to
replenish their disappearing gene pool. Meanwhile, in 2013, brilliant
mathematician Julie Kahn works with the FBI to solve a series of inex-
plicable kidnappings. Suddenly her predictive algorithms begin to
reveal more than just criminal activity. As she begins to realize her role
in the impending catastrophe, simultaneously affecting the Earth and
the Shell, Julie closes in on the truth. She and Pete are converging in
time upon the future of humanity—a future which might never unfold.

The first riveting chapter in the Peter

Cammon trilogy
Walking into the Ocean

David Whellams
• Co-op available
Introducing veteran Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Peter Cammon,
this novel finds Cammon journeying to the Jurassic Coast to solve
a seemingly ordinary domestic crime. At first glance, the perpetra-
tor appears to have murdered his wife before drowning in the
English Channel, but Cammon soon learns that his case is merely
a sideshow. A broader series of murders has been unfolding along
the cliffs, baffling the local police. Realizing that his assignment
cannot be completed without figuring out the serial killings that
threaten the region, the detective travels from London, Dorset, and
Devon to the island of Malta, relentlessly following the overlap-
ping threads of the two cases to their shocking climax. The first
installment in a series of three, this cliffhanger sets a chilling tone
for the British sleuth’s forthcoming mysteries.
David Whellams is a writer in criminal law with 30 years of expe-
rience, amending the criminal code in such areas as dangerous
offenders and terrorism. He lives in Ottawa, Ontario.

Excerpt:
He had been told enough about his new assignment to book six days in Whittlesun, the coastal town that
laid dubious claim to the murder-suicide. Sir Stephen Bartleben, who had made the call to him from Yard
Headquarters in London and who was the point man for liaising with Whittlesun Police, hadn’t ordered
him to block in six days but only suggested it. It probably would not take that long but, Peter knew from
experience, there was no way to tell. One presumed local competence but, then again, they had called the
Yard for assistance, not the other way round, and so there might be complications of which Peter was cur-
rently unaware. On the other hand, wife murders, and the flight of the husbands, just as often turned out
to be routine. Peter would soon know – the degree of complexity, that is. One of his virtues was patience.
André Lasker, a mechanic, had beaten his wife to death and then thrown her body off the local cliffs. Or,
perhaps she had been alive when he pushed her into the Channel. The husband then took off his clothes
and walked into the ocean. Her body had been found; his had not.
Bartleben had disclosed these simple facts over the telephone. There was never any question of Cammon
refusing the assignment, even though he was semi-retired.

The compelling story of one of golf’s

greatest upsets
The Upset
Jack Fleck’s Incredible Victory over
Ben Hogan at the U.S. Open
Al Barkow
“Golf is rarely more delicious than when a hero and an under-
dog square off. In his thorough and engaging account of the
1955 U.S. Open, Al Barkow skillfully dissects the showdown
between Ben Hogan and Jack Fleck, delving deeply not only
into the play but the personalities of the two men, which were
as different as their stations in the sport when they arrived at
Olympic that fateful week.” —Bill Fields, Golf World
“I’ve been an Al Barkow fan since reading Golf’s Golden Grind
in college 35 years ago. He’s one of the game’s best storytellers
and historians.” —Jerry Tarde, editor in chief, Golf Digest
“Al Barkow knows more about golf than any man alive.”
—Rick Reilly, author, Who’s Your Caddy?
and The Life of Reilly
“If Al Barkow hit the golf ball as straight as he writes about the
game, he’d be playing the Tour.” —Lee Trevino

Olympic Park, June 14–17, the site of the 1955 match
A thrilling play-by-play, shot-by-shot recounting of one of the
most famous golf games of all time, this book brings back to
life the look and feel of the entire three days of regular play and
the fourth-day playoff of the 1955 U.S. Open at the Olympic
Golf Club in San Francisco. Jack Fleck had the slimmest of resumes as a professional tournament golfer: he had never even
come close to winning on the PGA Tour. Yet Fleck got himself into a playoff with Ben Hogan—one of the greatest players in
golf history—for the game’s most prestigious title; and when Fleck defeated Hogan, it was not just surprising, it was incredi-
ble. Relying on firsthand sources, this insightful study of a poignant moment in golf history reveals the players’ mental
processes as they strategized their game and handled their emotions and offers a fascinating look at two different approaches
to competing for a golf championship: Hogan, who employed a stoic, no-nonsense approach to the game and Fleck, a practi-
tioner of hatha yoga. The book presents a critical view of Hogan’s inexplicable defeat and a convincing explanation for Fleck’s
mind-boggling victory, which was considered at the time and remains to this day one of the most unexpected outcomes in
all sports history.
Al Barkow is a veteran golf reporter, formerly editor in chief of both Golf and Golf Illustrated magazines, and recipient of

The autobiography of an American patriot
Hacksaw
The Jim Duggan Story
Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Scott E. Williams
Offering professional wrestling fans a ringside seat into his adventur-
ous life, WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Jim Duggan recounts for the first
time key moments and legendary bouts both inside and outside the
ring. Known to millions of enthusiasts as a charismatic patriot—with
an American flag in his right hand and his signature two-by-four in
his left—Duggan here reflects on his early life as a student-athlete on
the Southern Methodist University football squad. Drafted by the
Atlanta Falcons, Duggan shares how an injury-plagued rookie season
curtailed his football ambitions and paved the way for a brighter
career in professional wrestling. Rising to fame in the Cold War–era
1980s, Duggan immediately put himself at odds with anti-American
“heels” and engaged in legendary feuds with some of the most leg-
endary names in the sport, including the Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff,
and Andre the Giant. In this who’s who of top-tier wrestling, Duggan
reveals not only the high points of championship bouts but also the
low points that occurred far away from the TV cameras and screaming
fans, including his fight against kidney cancer during the prime of his
career. With each page peppered with Duggan’s charming wit, fans
will find much to enjoy and discover about the man they once knew
only as “Hacksaw.”
Hacksaw Jim Duggan was one of the nation’s most popular profes-
sional wrestlers in the 1980s. He lives in Lugoff, South Carolina. Scott
E. Williams is the author of two previous books, including Terry Funk:
More Than Just Hardcore. He lives in Dickinson, Texas.

Undertaker said, “Give me the big one, Hack!”
I wound up and hit him, and he went down like he’d been shot! Everyone else in the

I walked over to him.

A Big Easy legend returns to the limelight
The King of New Orleans

How the Junkyard Dog Became Professional
Wrestling’s First Black Superhero
Greg Klein
• Co-op available
Telling the remarkable tale of a man who is still remembered on
the streets of New Orleans and in the hearts of professional-
wrestling fans, this book aims to restore the overlooked
Junkyard Dog to his proper place in the history books. In 1979,
Sylvester Ritter, also known as the Junkyard Dog, managed to
break one of the final color barriers in the sport by becoming the
first black wrestler named undisputed top star of his promotion,
and this biography reveals all the famous feuds and business
back stories that made him a wrestling legend. By 1985, New
Orleans was one of the hottest cities in the Mid-South for pro
wrestling due in large part to the Junkyard Dog; he became a
legend in the Big Easy, drawing sellout crowds to the Downtown
Municipal Auditorium and huge crowds to the Superdome, a
feat unparalleled by any other wrestler. The King of New
Orleans delves into wrestling’s recent past and recounts how
a region known for racial injustice became the home of the
sport’s first black idol.
Greg Klein is an actor, a writer, a director, and a producer. He
lives in New Orleans.

be called counterintuitive. Well, that’s not entirely correct—the rest of the wrestling world,
when news of the decision trickled out, most likely called it crazy…
The Deep South wasn’t the first place you would expect a black wrestler to become a super-
star, but it had the right demographics to surprise the wrestling world. And it did just that
when Sylvester Ritter became the Junkyard Dog, and the Junkyard Dog became a superhero
to the people of New Orleans and the region. The only people who weren’t surprised were in
the front office of Mid South Wrestling. Starting with the owner and continuing through his
chief lieutenants, they were unusual characters, even by wrestling standards. They weren’t
interested in making history, and they certainly weren’t interested in fighting civil rights bat-
tles, but they did so, nonetheless. Some might call them rebels, or visionaries, or perhaps just
good businessmen, but in a wrestling context they were very close to being outlaws. As it
turns out, they were exactly the type of men necessary to turn Sylvester Ritter into the
Junkyard Dog—and the Junkyard Dog into a legend.

Drawing & Painting Horses

Eva Dutton
Appealing to budding artists and horse lovers alike, this collec-
tion of five rousing, step-by-step projects applies various medi-
ums—from graphite and ink to watercolor, gouache, and
acrylic—to re-create equestrian subjects. This guide begins
with simple drawing exercises that study horse head and neck
details—first experimenting with scribbles and basic shape
drawings and evolving these images into more refined works
that reveal shadow, tone, and movement. Painting projects
emphasize color and technique to achieve the realistic texture
of a horse’s coat and other markings. More challenging sub-
jects include a horse cantering through water and an inspiring
herd of mustangs in the wild. Providing reassuring advice
along the way, instructor Eva Dutton encourages confident
artists to move beyond step-by-step exercises and offers addi-
tional guidance about finding new inspiration, drawing from
life, and discovering reference materials.

Debunking the common misconception that a flash is only
necessary in low-light situations, this guidebook provides pro-
fessional instruction on how to properly direct and shape light
in order to marshal mood, shape, texture, and color to make
photographs more dynamic and visually interesting. Beginning
with an introduction to the basic characteristics of light—the
quality and diffusion of light, the direction of the light, and
the color of the light—this work goes on to discuss aperture,
shutter speed, and ISO and their relation to Nikon flash sys-
tems. After mastering these fundamentals, this book discusses
how to use Nikon flashes, how to modify the light from flash-
es, and what subject matter looks good in different lighting
situations. Sequential shots are paired with descriptive text
and pull-back images allow for easy understanding of this
important element to capturing lasting images.

hottest new trend in lighting technology. The arrival of cost
effective LED lights has facilitated radical advances in photo-
graphic science and required photographers to change the
way they use lighting. This book explains how these innova-
tions have influenced conventional light theory and offers a
seamless transition from old lighting technologies to new
ones. It demystifies the process of choosing the right LED
light for projects, presents common sense methods for using
LEDs, and offers suggestions for achieving the perfect
lighting color and balance. In addition, numerous examples

Lighting Essentials
Lighting for Texture, Contrast, and
Dimension in Digital Photography
Don Giannatti
www.photographytalk.com, www.ppa.com, www.ppmag.com,
Prophotoresource.com, www.rangefindermag.com,
The core goal of photography is representing subjects that
have depth and texture in a medium that inherently lacks
both those qualities, and this book shows the best way to
rise to that challenge: through the careful application and
capture of lighting. It demonstrates how to accentuate or
minimize textures, add or subtract highlights, and create or
combat shadows to showcase the subjects in the best way
and create the illusion of a third dimension in the images.
Exploring techniques for lighting portraits, still-life subjects,
nature images, and architectural shots, both studio and loca-
tion lighting are covered in detail. The book teaches photog-
raphers how to study their subjects—with all of the textures,
colors, shapes, and surfaces they have—then visualize the
image as a finished photograph before the photography actu-
ally begins. With chapters that thoroughly cover the science
of lighting and visualization, photographers can apply that
knowledge and successfully create artful images.

upon include proper lens selection, calculating exposure, man-
aging ambient light both indoors and out, shooting at night,
and more. A discussion of applying the many techniques to
nature and wildlife, travel, and sports photography rounds out

Flash Techniques for

Location Portraiture
Single and Multiple-Flash Lighting Techniques
Alyn Stafford
Small-flash photography has become widely popular because
of its portability and affordability, and this book offers
insights on mastering the use of small-unit, hot shoe–mounted
flashes called flashguns. Demonstrating the various light mod-
ifiers, techniques, and setups designed for these small power-
houses of light, the book explores how to achieve creative
results from working with a single flashgun, multiple flash-
guns, and colored filters, as well as making adjustments with
the camera’s white-balance settings. The guide lists the tools
required for location-portrait photography and discusses dif-
ferent lighting setups—from shooting in direct sunlight to
night and low-light photos—for various location-portrait sit-
uations, giving photographers the confidence to make lighting
decisions to produce professional results.

Excerpt:
Happiness isn't eluding you on purpose. In fact, Happiness isn’t the elusive one; you are. You’re the
one who's been hiding from Happiness behind layer upon layer of veils—and it’s precisely these
veils that get revealed to you, and in turn transformed by you, which form the “fuel” for your jour-
ney, lighting up the path as you go. Each time you receive a new insight that sheds some light on the
things standing between you and your Happiness, and each time you act on that new awareness,
you’re a step closer to your true nature.
As your sense of this grows, many wonderful things that go hand in hand with Happiness will start
to shoot up. It’s as though you’ve been carrying all these precious seeds inside you all this time and
now they’re beginning to germinate. Which of course you have. The potential for loving kindness,
compassion, inner peace, beauty, and, of course, love exists within all of us. Give them the right
conditions and they can't help but blossom.

The birth, near demise, and current struggle for

survival of the Motor City
Detroit
A Biography
Scott Martelle
• Co-op available
• Advertising in BookPage
At its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, Detroit’s status as epicenter of
the American auto industry made it a vibrant, populous, commercial
hub—and then the bottom fell out. Detroit: A Biography takes a
long, unflinching look at the evolution of one of America’s great
cities and one of the nation’s greatest urban failures. This authorita-
tive yet accessible narrative seeks to explain how the city grew to
become the heart of American industry and how its utter collapse—
from nearly two million residents in 1950 to less than 715,000 some
six decades later—resulted from a confluence of public policies, pri-
vate industry decisions, and deeply ingrained racism. Drawing from
U.S. Census data and including profiles of individuals who embody
the recent struggles and hopes of the city, this book chronicles the
evolution of what a modern city once was and what it has become.
Scott Martelle is a professional journalist who has written for the
Detroit News, the Los Angeles Times, and the Rochester Times-
Union. His previous books include Blood Passion and
The Fear Within. He lives in Irvine, California.
