Actor. Director. Musician. Heartthrob. Feminist icon (sort of). There s only one Ryan Gosling. Women want him. Men want to be him. Most Tumblr blogs are about him. No mere Hollywood pretty boy, he s a model of sensitive masculinity, symbolic of everything modern manhood should aspire to. Did you see The Notebook? Exactly. Filled with edgy humour and photos that graphically illustrate his physical perfection, 100 Reasons to Love Ryan Gosling provides scientifically irrefutable evidence of exactly why Ryan is so damn loveable. Is it because he looks good in anything? Breaks up street brawls? Is great with kids? Has no problem with nudity? It s all these things and more.

Michka Assayas

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

In Conversation with Michka Assayas

For the first time ever, Bono-the biggest rock star in the world-tells his life story. Bono's career is unlike any other in rock history. As the lead singer of U2, Bono has sold 130 million albums, won fourteen Grammys, and played numerous sold-out world tours, but he has also lobbied and worked with world leaders from Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to Nelson Mandela on debt relief, AIDS, and other critical global issues. He has collaborated with the same musicians for nearly three decades and has been married to his childhood sweetheart since 1982. His life, at all turns, resists the rock star clichés. In a series of intimate conversations with his friend Michka Assayas, a music journalist who has been with the band since the very beginning, Bono reflects on his transformation from the extrovert singer of a small Irish post-punk band into one of the most famous individuals in the world; and from an international celebrity to an influential spokesperson for the Third World. He speaks candidly about his faith, family, commitment, influences, service, and passion. Bono: A Self-Portrait in Conversationis the closest we will come, for now, to a memoir from the iconic frontman of U2.

Bill Flanagan

At the End of the World

The most intimate and appreciative biography ofnbsp;nbsp;the mega rock band U2 to date--by the author tonbsp;nbsp;whom the band gave complete access.nbsp;nbsp;

When U2 took the stage for their three-year Zoo TVnbsp;nbsp;world tour in 1991, Bill Flanagan was there--innbsp;nbsp;the bus, on the plane, in the recording studio andnbsp;nbsp;well after hours with the biggest rock band in thenbsp;nbsp;world. A tour that began to support the hugelynbsp;nbsp;successful Achtung Baby record and ended with anbsp;nbsp;second, even more successful record, Zooropa, took U2nbsp;nbsp;to the far reaches of the world, playing to over anbsp;nbsp;hundred sold-out arenas in over fortynbsp;nbsp;cities.

U2 At The End Of The Worldnbsp;nbsp;takes you on the world tour and drops you off atnbsp;nbsp;the cultural intersection where rock stars meetnbsp;nbsp;politicians; where writers, directors, and models allnbsp;nbsp;wind up backstage with U2. You're there when thenbsp;nbsp;band meets Bill Clinton in a Chicago hotel room;nbsp;nbsp;when Salman Rushdie comes out of hiding to join thenbsp;nbsp;band onstage at Wembley Arena in London; whennbsp;nbsp;Frank Sinatra and Bono record their famous duet,nbsp;nbsp;"I've Got You Under My Skin." And finally,nbsp;nbsp;when the band performs their last Zoo TV concert innbsp;nbsp;Tokyo in 1993 and nearly collapses from physicalnbsp;nbsp;and mental exhaustion, you are there with themnbsp;nbsp;waiting for the end of the world. Augmented withnbsp;nbsp;sleek photos by renowned photographer Anton Corbijn,nbsp;nbsp;U2 At The End Of The World is thenbsp;nbsp;most definitive book on the band tonbsp;nbsp;date.

Thomas Keller

Oversized Paperback (4 to 6 lbs)

Thomas Keller shares family-style recipes that you can make any or every day. In the book every home cook has been waiting for, the revered Thomas Keller turns his imagination to the American comfort foods closest to his heart—flaky biscuits, chicken pot pies, New England clam bakes, and cherry pies so delicious and redolent of childhood that they give Proust's madeleines a run for their money. Keller, whose restaurants The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York have revolutionized American haute cuisine, is equally adept at turning out simpler fare. In Ad Hoc at Home—a cookbook inspired by the menu of his casual restaurant Ad Hoc in Yountville—he showcases more than 200 recipes for family-style meals. This is Keller at his most playful, serving up such truck-stop classics as Potato Hash with Bacon and Melted Onions and grilled-cheese sandwiches, and heartier fare including beef Stroganoff and roasted spring leg of lamb. In fun, full-color photographs, the great chef gives step-by-step lessons in kitchen basics— here is Keller teaching how to perfectly shape a basic hamburger, truss a chicken, or dress a salad. Best of all, where Keller’s previous best-selling cookbooks were for the ambitious advanced cook, Ad Hoc at Home is filled with quicker and easier recipes that will be embraced by both kitchen novices and more experienced cooks who want the ultimate recipes for American comfort-food classics.

Brené Brown

Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Brené Brown writes, “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.” In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection. Over the past two decades, Brown’s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, to show us how accurately naming an experience doesn’t give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice. Brown shares, “I want this book to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”

Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch

A New York Times bestseller!



A brilliantly modern take on Jewish culinary traditions for a new generation of readers, from a bright new star in the culinary world.

When you think of Jewish food, a few classics come to mind: chicken soup with matzo balls, challah, maybe a babka if you're feeling adventurous. But as food writer and nice Jewish boy Jake Cohen demonstrates in this stunning debut cookbook, Jewish food can be so much more.  

In Jew-ish, he reinvents the food of his Ashkenazi heritage and draws inspiration from his husband's Persian-Iraqi traditions to offer recipes that are modern, fresh, and enticing for a whole new generation of readers. Imagine the components of an everything bagel wrapped into a flaky galette latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a Persian spin on the potato pancake, best-ever hybrid desserts like Macaroon Brownies and Pumpkin Spice Babka! Jew-ish features elevated, yet approachable classics along with innovative creations, such as: 

 * Jake's Perfect Challah 
 * Roasted Tomato Brisket 
 * Short Rib Cholent 
 * Iraqi Beet Kubbeh Soup 
 * Cacio e Pepe Rugelach 
 * Sabich Bagel Sandwiches, and
 * Matzo Tiramisu. 

Jew-ish is a brilliant collection of delicious recipes, but it's much more than that. As Jake reconciles ancient traditions with our modern times, his recipes become a celebration of a rich and vibrant history, a love story of blending cultures, and an invitation to gather around the table and create new memories with family, friends, and loved ones.
