(01/07/09) Princeton has outdone itself with this sumptuous collection. The reproductions are stunning, the colors intense and deep. Dirk De Vos has chosen twenty masterpieces from this fertile period in art, and analyses his subject in exemplary written and visual detail. The Flemish Primititives should be on the shelf of anyone interested in the history of painting. It is a truly stunning book. Georgie Lewis, Powells.comSee less

(01/07/09) A collection of rich, powerfully human stories from the author of The Half-Life and the movies Old Joy ("one of the finest American films of the year" — New York Times) and Wendy and Lucy. A tired man, struggling to overcome the loss of his wife in a car accident. Two old friends, hoping to rediscover their connection on a trip to the woods. A screenwriter hoping to hear news about the future of his film. In Jon Raymond's deft, nuanced stories, these and other characters contend with the frustrations, longings, and mood swings we face every day. Artfully conveying the feeling of lived experience, these stories brim with gratifying sensory detail: the sound of a tree root snapping underfoot, the smell of a roast, the stillness of the air after music has stopped. And, with careful observations and a humane spirit, Livability gives us a portrait of America, full of characters finding ways to survive their own choices. Published to coincide with the national release of Wendy and Lucy,...See less

(01/07/09) Jenna Woginrich's Made from Scratch is charming, practical, eye-opening, and empowering. From beekeeping to butter churning, it's a wonderful primer, and Woginrich's enthusiasm and humor are inspiring. Plus, she's definitely convinced me to get some backyard chickens this summer.
