• Chris and Elise are farm-to-bottle craft producers—growing their own
ingredients to make their own spirits
• Dozens of photos show scenes of daily work and life at this small
Missouri craft distillery

the world of moonshine, from its history and American heritage to its
uses and creation today. These 101 ways to interact with moonshine
are wide-ranging and include practical housekeeping hints (glass
cleaner, anyone?), medicinal uses, recipes, and more. Coulter & Payne
is a farm-to-bottle distillery—that is, it not only makes spirits, but
also grows its own ingredients. Dozens of photos offer a glimpse into
the daily world of this small craft producer’s operations on the farm
as they bring moonshine, vodka, and bourbon to America. In these
pages you’ll enjoy learning about moonshine’s benefits and potential
applications, and understanding what it means to produce a farm-tobottle, artisanal distilled spirit. This great resource for adventurous
foodies, homesteaders, and home distillers will bring whiskey out of
the backwoods for the rest of us to enjoy.
chris burnette and elise coulter burnette own Shawnee
Bend Farms and the Coulter & Payne Farm Distillery in Union,

SENIOR DOGS ACROSS AMERICA: Portraits of Man’s Best Old Friend
Nancy LeVine
• 84 iconic photographs of man’s best old friend from 29 states in America
• Dogs from all walks of life honored in their old age and vulnerable times
• Foreword by Dr. Marty Becker, “America’s Veterinarian”
Anyone who has ever loved a dog, young or old, will warm to
this stirring tribute to our best animal friends. Award-winning
photographer Nancy LeVine has traveled the length and breadth
of America — from Kauai to Martha’s Vineyard, from Seattle to
Natchez — to meet and photograph some of our most endearing
senior canine citizens. Included here are 84 of her finest portraits.
These gallant companions ride on our tractors, doze on our couches,
happy to be in our company. They remind us of the best in ourselves,
and as they lose their vigor and youth, they reflect our own inevitable
aging with courage and calm. Nancy’s photographs perfectly capture
the enduring appeal of these elderly dignified beings in the places
where they belong — all across America. As “America’s Veterinarian,”
Dr. Marty Becker, says, “These images can make you laugh, cry, and
simply feel the nobility of elder dogs."
nancy levine’s 12-year project “Senior Dogs Across America” has
been featured on The Today Show, blogs around the world (including
the New York Times LENS Blog, BBC, and Lens Culture), in The Bark
magazine, and has opened at the Houston Center for Photography
in 2012.

UNSTRUNG HEROES: Fifty Guitar Greats You Should Know
Pete Braidis
• Interviews with 50 guitar players you’ve no doubt heard but may not
know by name
• Guitar players from pop to jazz to heavy metal and folk, from the 1960s
to the present day
• An insider’s look behind the scenes of some of the greatest music
ever recorded
There may be plenty of books on guitar players, but there are very
few, if any, that delve into the guitar players who have been somewhat
“under the radar" through the years. This book gives exposure and
long-overdue attention to 50 players who have certainly received
some accolades in their careers but yet still remain outside of the
mainstream and the typical lists of “guitar greats." Interviews give
insight into guitar players from various genres—including hard
rockers Rik Emmett, Dave Meniketti, and Pat Travers, heavy metalists
Andy LaRocque and Uli Jon Roth, funk masters Michael Hampton
and Howard E. Scott, jazz-fusion players Frank Gambale and Carl
Verheyen, prog-rockers Steve Hackett and Martin Barre, and singersongwriters Bruce Cockburn and Richie Furay. The musicians get
personal, speaking about their careers in their own words. Also
included are short biographies on each player and photographs.
pete braidis was born in Bristol, PA, but was raised in Haddon
Township, NJ, and graduated from Haddon Township High School,
and earned a BA in history and journalism from Rutgers-State
University of New Jersey-Camden. He has written and been published
in Metal Rules Magazine, Goldmine Magazine, Indie-music.com and The
Philadelphia Inquirer.

DEXTER THE VERY GOOD GOAT

at the zoo
• Although Dexter runs the show in his petting zoo, he must learn to be
brave even when he’s scared
• Offers a snapshot of animal life at the zoo, including some exotic
inhabitants
Dexter is the top goat at the petting zoo, but he’s not the bravest, much
to his embarrassment. He has the longest, smoothest, and straightest
horns of all eleven goats, and he’s very good at using them to keep
the others in line. He’s also a very good boy. Dexter never grabs the
paper maps out of visitors’ hands or sneaks into the alpaca pen for
an afternoon grain snack. But he’s secretly afraid of some things, like
the generator, the big green ball, and—horror of horrors—having his
hooves trimmed. Follow the zoo-yard adventures of this irascible goat
and find out what goes on inside his head as he learns to overcome
his fears.

The first century of Navajo and Pueblo metal

a legacy of fine art jewelry that is prized today.
