Do-It-Yourself: Home Improvement in the 20th Century. If you know us at all, you’ll understand why we love this book so much. It’s a great exploration of the DIY phenomenon, from its early days at the beginning of the last century, through the post-war days when GIs tinkered away in well-stocked garage workshops, and up to the present when it seems the obsession with home-improvement has reached an all time high (HGTV, anyone?). The book is all about how and why the DIY phenomenon has shaped our culture through the years, and tells its story with hundreds of amazing pictures and illustrations from all the magazines, advertisements, and how-to publications that aimed to capitalize on America’s fascination with all things DIY. Paperback, 8" x 8.75", 120 pages, 170 color, 20 b/w images. For more DIY fun, check out DIY: Design It Yourself, or head on over to the Craft Room. CHB008$17.95 See less

What an incredibly delightful book this is. Simple, evocative line drawings of folks daydreaming on the L Train between Williamsburg and Union Square. We've spent our fair share of time on that train and we've seen first hand the "Sleepyheads" artist Christopher David Ryan has lovingly captured here. Heck, we might even BE one of these nodding little noggins. Adding to its charm, the book's only text is a quote from one of our favorite songs by the Kinks, "Dream alone, don't sigh, don't groan. Life is only what you wonder." Check out more of Christopher's work at atmostheory.com. Each 32 page book measures 5.25" x 5.25" TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK CDR001$5.00 See less

I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris. We’re glad Amy likes us. We like her too (actually we kinda love her). And not just because she made cupcakes for our engagement party. We love her because she brings equal parts happiness and craziness into our lives. We love her as much for Strangers With Candy as we do for the delectable cheeseballs she makes. We love that she’s crafty and creative and the only person on Earth who could come up with this book. Where else can you find helpful instructions on entertaining the bereaved, or a step-by-step guide to putting on pantyhose in the same book, for under 30 bucks? We also love that I Like You is filled with so many beautiful pictures and drawings by with so many of our favorite artists and friends like Ellen, Todd, Conn and Hillary. Hardbound, 8.25" x 10", 256 pages (plus a secret, sexy poster). HBG001$27.99 See less
