1st printing. By Nick Thomas. As the definitive biography of American-bred rocker Tom Petty, this book examines his extensive music career, his personal life and his many public battles. After a momentary but pivotal encounter with Elvis Presley at age 10, Tom Petty felt destined to pursue a career in rock and roll. Raised on a steady diet of Elvis and the Beatles, Petty left the safe confines of Gainesville in 1974 and headed for Los Angeles. Although Petty fared poorly with his early group Mudcrutch, he later formed the Heartbreakers. But with his career taking various twists and turns, Petty also thrived as a solo artist, a cofounder of the rock supergroup the Traveling Wilburys and a member of the reformed Mudcrutch. Along the way, Petty was forced to battle his own record company in court, nearly lost his life in a house fire, spent two years as a recluse after a painful divorce and became best friends with a former Beatle, George Harrison. As a prolific singer and songwriter, Tom Petty has remained at the top of his game for four decades with timeless rock anthems such as "Breakdown," "Refugee" and "I Won't Back Down." Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 292 pages, Text Only.

Story and art by Tim Lane.

Tim Lane rummages through 20th century Americana, mixing attitudes and cultural touchstones of the past from jazz clubs, pool halls, ballparks and graveyards to casinos, coffeehouses, back alleys and bus stops, capturing the seedy charm of American culture.

Toybox Americana is a uniquely designed collection of images and prose and, like the culture it explores, is at once meditative and brimming with life.

Written by Steven Heller. Cover by Sharon Knettell. Edited by Jim Heimann.

Up until the 20th century, children's play was not a subject that demanded much attention. American ingenuity, an ever-growing consumer culture supported by the media empires of newspapers, radio, and television, led American toys to become ubiquitous in the consumer market. In the world of toy production, the multimillion dollar industry took the advertising of their product seriously, and toy manufacturers inundated customers with their latest product via trade journals.

Filled with a Santa's sack full of surprises Toys: 100 Hundred Years of All-American Toy Ads takes us down the aisles of America's toy store delivering the favorites and forgotten memories of toys that were hugged and hoarded, saved and disposed of, and now finally brought back in their pristine glory.

1st printing. Written by Kerry D. Soper. Art and cover by Walt Kelly. A critical appreciation of the life's work of a great comic strip artist - We Go Pogo is the first comprehensive study of Kelly's cartoon art and his larger career in the comics business. Author Kerry D. Soper examines all aspects of Kelly's career--from his high school drawings; his work on such animated Disney movies as Dumbo, Pinocchio, and Fantasia; and his 1930s editorial cartoons for Life and the New York Herald Tribune. Soper taps Kelly's extensive personal and professional correspondence and interviews with family members, friends, and cartoonists to create a complex portrait of one of the art form's true geniuses. From Pogo's inception in 1948 until Kelly's death, the artist combined remarkable draftsmanship, slapstick humor, fierce social satire, and inventive dialogue and dialects. He used the adventures of his animals--all denizens of the Okefenokee Swamp--as a means to comment on American and international politics and cultural mores. The strip lampooned Senator Joseph McCarthy during the height of McCarthyism, the John Birch Society during the 1960s, Fidel Castro during the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and many others. Kerry D. Soper, Orem, Utah, is associate professor of humanities, classics, and comparative literature at Brigham Young University. He is the author of Garry Trudeau: Doonesbury and the Aesthetics of Satire, also published by University Press of Mississippi. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, B&W. Cover price $65.00.
