We just about keeled over from the hilarity of this fantastic book: Presidents by Adam Tan. Brilliantly illustrated (buggish) portraits of past presidents with accompanying quotes from each makes this book a humorous approach to US History 101. Check out the book here and show Adam some love in the new comments feature!

Book of the Week or Bust
August 7, 2009 – 12:13 pm
This week we were particularly taken away by Jim Zook’s book “USA or Bust.” Jim hit the open road earlier this year to talk to the American people about the state of the nation. Traveling from state to state, and interviewing people all along the way, Jim found this journey a logical one as “Everyone [...]
A Powerful Book of the Week
May 1, 2009 – 9:59 am
Recent bestseller, The Power of Pain by Rich DeSalvo, is one of the most inspiring books we’ve seen in awhile, in particular for people suffering from chronic pain. Prior to writing this book, DeSalvo worked on Wall Street as a senior executive at several of the worlds largest financial institutions for over 25 years, but [...]

This morning the Kitchen Sisters were interviewed on [...]
Book of the Week takes it to the street
July 30, 2008 – 2:40 pm
Rio de Janeiro is a tough place to hang-out, at least in the exquisitely photographed, deeply disturbing historias do rio.
Photographed by acclaimed photographer Lorenzo Moscia, with text (in Italian) by Matteo Gennari, this book is chock-full of sex, slum, and implicit violence — shot with a gritty, evocative eye and an amazing resonance with [...]
We’re partial to this Book of the Week
July 9, 2008 – 4:43 pm
Lya Edwards’ Partial is built around themes of isolation and haphazardness, and the result is a beautiful book that makes you feel solitary, and just a little bit discombobulated — in the best possible way.
One of many reasons that Partial is so appealing is that the cover is wonderfully representative of these themes. It [...]
