Michael Solomonov's cookbook, Zahav is one of those rare cookbooks that bridges the gap between complex worldly flavors and simple technique and tradition. The perfect gift that will fill your homes and tables for years to come. Looks good enough for the coffee table but won't leave the kitchen counter... maybe you should get two! #2016giftguide #zahav #michaelsolomonov
Ron Padgett's poem, HOW TO BE PERFECT is a sober and inspiring reminder that we're never finished learning even the most basic lessons. Jason Novak's illustrations provide a hilarious and anxious mirror of how we fumble along, learning these lessons. One of our favorite stocking stuffers this season! #2016giftguide #ronpadgett #jasonnovak
Nothing says holiday cheer like a healthy dose of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll! Altamont marked the end of the 60s in more ways than one. More than just a story of a rock concert, Joel Slevin delves into the ways our entertainment culture mirrors...and sometimes tells the future of our social reality. #altamont #joelslevin #2016giftguide

A call-to-arms of the personal rooted in sound and literate language, Mary Chappelle's LIFE BREAKS IN is one of Colin's top picks of 2016. #2016giftguide #marycappello #lifebreaksin
Our social media metrics are in and they say that book people like pictures of snow! We also think you'll LOVE Philip P. Stead's heartwarming story of a wooly mammoth who rescues a bird and mouse only to discover the true meaning and reward of kindness. #2016giftguide #philippstead #samsoninthesnow

The winner of The Man Booker International Prize is also one of Muriel's favorites of 2016. This strange, creeping, and affecting novel examines the ways we cling to independence...sometimes at the expense of those closest to us...and to what we think makes us who we are. #2016giftguide #hogarthbooks #thevegetarian #hankang
Eimear McBride floored us with her first novel, A GIRL IS A HALF FORMED THING, and didn't let up on the momentum with her most recent, THE LESSER BOHEMIANS. A love story that projects the intensity (for better or for worse) felt by its characters. This, and all other novels in our #2016giftguide are 10% off through December!
