1st printing. Story and art by Cabral Ciruelo. An unforgettable original volume, The Book of the Dragon offers a glimpse of a culture we can only imagine. Dragons lurk in the most hidden corners of the world. They are powerful and beautiful creatures. We know them as the terrifying beasts of fairy tales, but their story has remained a mystery until now. Ciruelo, an illustrator of astounding skill, delves into their secret universe, revealing a rich and fascinating culture filled with poetry, magic, enchantment, and knowledge. But the revelations go beyond the images, as we gain insight into their psychological characteristics, encounter many different types (Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, Fire Dragons, and the legendary Golden Dragon); learn about their long-held customs, and explore the many legends in which they have figured so prominently-including the heroic tales of Perseus, Hercules, and Tristan. Hardcover, 160 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

1st printing. Written by David Graebar. Art and cover by Nika Dubrovsky. What makes a city a city? Who says? Drafted over decades out of a dialogue between artist and author Nika Dubrovsky, the late anthropologist David Graeber, and Nika's then four-year-old son, this delightful and provocative book Cities Made Differently opens a space for invention and collaboration. Fusing anthropology, literature, play, and drawing, the book is essentially a visual essay that asks us to reconsider our ideas about cities and the people who inhabit them. Drawing us into a world of history and myth, science and imagination, Graeber and Dubrovsky invite us to rethink the worlds we inhabit-because we can, and nothing is too strange or too wonderful to be true. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.

By Phil & Sarah Stokes. Afterword by Clive Barker.

In the mid-1980s, Stephen King inducted a young English novelist into the world of great genre writers, and since then, this genius creator has only continued to expand his field of activity.

Created by his two most loyal collaborators, Phil and Sarah Stokes, Clive Barker's Dark Worlds is the first book to shed light on the massive scope of Barker's creative work. With the help of Barker himself, this book contains exclusive insight from those who have worked with him creatively and professionally, alongside analyses of his works and comments over four decades from industry contemporaries and friends such as Ramsey Campbell, Quentin Tarantino, Neil Gaiman, China Miéville, Peter Straub, Armistead Maupin, J.G. Ballard, Wes Craven, and many more.

Book 2: Cyborg - 1st printing. By Patricia C. McKissack and Frederick L. McKissack. TThe Clone Codes sci-fi adventure trilogy continues with this second book that blends a futuristic society with pivotal moments in world history. In the next Clone Codes installment, Houston, a cyborg, tells his story. Set in the year 2130, The World Federation of Nations determines through laws and regulations that all enhanced persons with three or more synthetic body or organ replacements are classified as three-fifths of a human being. As such, Houston is considered less than human and must fight to overcome the rules of his strange universe. Drawing on parallels to slavery, terrorism, caste system oppression, and war, readers confront the troubling and complex moral questions probed throughout history. If the government learns of Houston's cyborg status it could cost him his life - and change the course of history forever. With the help of Leanna, his friend, Houston is in a race with time, and he?s in a fight against the oppressive ways of The Cyborg Act of 2130, which says: *All cyborgs must be registered with the Bureau of Cyborg Affairs (BCA) *Those that are cyborgs must live within designated areas set aside on the Moon Colony. If a cyborg desires to live or work elsewhere, it must acquire BCA permission. *It is mandated that cyborgs may not serve as officers in The World Federation of Nations? defense forces, or serve in any national law enforcement agencies. *Cyborg children must attend one of four cyborg academies based on test scores and abilities. *All Cyborgs over the age of 16 must be gainfully employed. *Cyborgs need permission from the BCA to marry or have children. *The BCA will provide Cyborgs with medical insurance, and will take care of their health care needs. *Cyborgs cannot inherit real property. *Cyborgs can only participate in amateur or professional sports within the Cyborg Leagues.

2nd and later printings. In 1992 Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon made the TV documentary, The Colors of Infinity about the Mandelbrot Set and fractals, which has since been seen right round the world. Nigels enthusiasm brought together a dream team of contributors for the film who all now contribute to the book tracking how fractals have developed since the film was made. Sir Arthur C Clarke presented the film and in the book gives a lucidly simple account of the mathematics of the M-Set. Benoit Mandelbrot, the Belgian mathematician explains how it began. Professor Michael Barnsley, the computer graphics researcher who developed fractal image compression technology, explains the applications of the breakthroughs. Professor Ian Stewart, author of Does God Play Dice? adds his insights into the beautifully simple equation that gives birth to fractals. Softcover, 176 pages, Text (with FC diagrams).

1st printing. By Judd Apatow. Foreword by Lena Dunham. An intimate, rollicking highly-visual memoir of a comedic genius that offers a rare glimpse into the creative life and inner workings of legendary director producer Judd Apatow through never-before-seen photos, letters and behind-the-scenes stories. In the mid-eighties, a young, self-professed comedy nerd from Syosset, Long Island, named Judd Apatow took to the stage to perform his first standup routine—and survived. Over the coming decades, Apatow would translate his obsession for comedy into one of the most successful careers in Hollywood, through genre-defining films such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Bridesmaids, and This Is 40 and iconic series such as Girls and Freaks & Geeks. Through his solo work as well as his collaborations with fellow comedians Steve Carell, Adam Sandler, Amy Schumer, and countless others, Apatow reshaped the landscape of American comedy. In this revelatory scrapbook memoir, Apatow has pulled hundreds of personal photographs, letters, scripts, drafts, and paired them with never-before-told stories to create a unique-in-format, deeply-personal-in-tone account of a storied career. Spanning decades, Comedy Nerd takes us on Apatows lifelong journey of fandom, creativity, and obsession: from the exacting, relentless work that goes into cracking people up; surprising stories about our favorite comedians; and insights into how Apatow has managed to push the limits of his craft in an ever-evolving cultural landscape. It is a candid, joyful, and fascinating portrait of an artist and storyteller who has spent decades making us laugh. Hardcover, 7 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., 576 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $50.00.
