Dirty Wow Wow Book
and other love stories

by Cheryl and Jeffrey Katz
A tribute to the threadbare companions of childhood.

It's rare to find a child whose very first best friend wasn't a fuzzy teddy bear or downy blanket.  Whether clutched securely in little arms each night or dragged gamely through the playground each day, these fiercely loved companions universally ease the uncertainties and loneliness of childhood.

Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories celebrates the lives of fifty transitional love objects:  a sweetly poignant collection of stuffies, blankies, lovies, and dolls who inspired and comforted their owners.  Bundles of love and warmth fashioned from fluff and fur, these cherished friends have a lifetime of stories sew up in their tattered bodies - a trip to Paris smushed in a suitcase, a secret hiding spot behind the family liquor cabinet, an interminable wait in the lost-and-found bin before a joyous reunion at home.

With stunning photographs that revel the personalities within, this thoughtful tribute is a once funny and oddly soothing  - like a certain shabby buddy who's tucked away but never forgotten.

Quilt of Gee's Bend

30 Postcards

In Gee's Bend, a remote backwater of Alabama, four generations of African-American women have created textile masterpieces from scraps and worn-out work clothes.  Developing their own distinctive style, these quilters have learned their craft from mothers and grandmothers, aunts and cousins.  Gee's Bend quilts carry forward a proud African tradition of quilts made for the home, but with a twist of color and unpredictability; thirty of the most striking quilts are reproduced in this postcard book.

Midwest Modern
by Amy Butler
A complete lifestyle book, encompassing fashion, interiors, and gardens

Attention, design and style mavens! There’s a lot more to America than just the east and west coasts. Today, innovative American design—in clothing, home decor, even gardening—is emerging from the Midwest. So lay your bicoastal biases aside, and let Amy Butler show you what’s happening in the heartland.

Helping her fans jumpstart their own creative spark is Butler’s fashion credo, and her approach has won her a huge following. Her “Mid Mod” philosophy—neither homespun nor haute couture—is as up to the minute as it is firmly rooted in Midwest tradition. Emphasizing simplicity and integrity of craft, Butler is passionate about recycling materials, reinventing vintage looks, and taking joy in the homemade. Her approach—drawing its inspiration from the natural world and the lives of real people—is organic in every sense of the word.

Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern brings the many aspects of its author’s vision into focus, from re-imagining the home as a retreat for relaxation and dreaming, to picturing the body as a canvas for creating one’s personal style, to looking to nature as a “sketchbook” for design ideas. Vibrantly illustrated, the book underscores design’s practical side, with information on budgeting money and time, a shopping resources list, and “how-to” projects in every chapter.
