Almost 400 color images treat readers to dazzling holiday visions that leading

ornaments. This treasure trove showcases one-of-a-kind holiday ideas from
some of the nation’s most talented interior designers, who share not only
their aesthetic tastes but also family holiday rituals and favorite Christmas
traditions.

BRANDING + INTERIOR DESIGN: Visibility and Business Strategy for Interior Designers
Kim Kuhteubl
• Business and marketing strategies that take design firms to the next level
• Interior designers learn to master the art of being visible from the inside out
• The difference between designer and legend lies in one powerful little word: brand
The home goods market in the United States is the largest market in the
world. Then why do some interior design firms thrive while others barely
survive? The answer lies in one powerful little word: brand. More than a
pretty logo, it involves telling the story of your distinct point of view—who
you want to serve and why you do business, and it’s a process that happens
from the inside out. This book bridges the gap between designer and design
leader and shows pros how to define, value, and communicate their vision;
find clients who are a fit; and master the art of being visible. Worksheets give
designers the tools to learn these strategies and apply them to their work. It
also includes candid conversations with design leaders such as Barbara Barry,
Kelly Hoppen, Vicente Wolf, Christiane Lemieux, Rose Tarlow, Clodagh,
Martyn Lawrence Bullard, and others.
Kim Kuhteubl is an award-winning producer, writer, and Producer’s
Guild of America member. She’s used the strategies in this book to boost
the profile, media coverage, and profitability of interior design firms across
North America. Follow her on Twitter @mebydesigntv.

COLLECTOR’S GUIDE TO THE BLACK TOURMALINE OF PIERREPONT, NEW YORK
Steven C. Chamberlain, George W. Robinson, Michael R. Walter, Jeffrey R. Chiarenzelli, Marian V. Lupulescu, David G. Bailey
• First comprehensive monograph of this world-famous mineral locality,
documenting many specimens not seen before
• Resolves longstanding nomenclature confusion about the black tourmaline
• Six authors represent comprehensive skills to tackle this study on tourmaline
and its accessory minerals
Since its discovery by a teenager in 1859, thousands of specimens of lustrous
black tourmaline crystals from Pierrepont, New York, have found their way
into both museum and private mineral collections worldwide. Pierrepont
is a classic American mineral locality and a popular site for field collecting,
and the discovery of new collecting sites there in the past decade has only
enhanced its importance. Yet no detailed scientific research has been
published until now. The six authors represent a team with comprehensive
skills to tackle this study, which covers the locality’s history, geology, and
mineralogy. The origin of the mineralization, the true nature of the black
tourmaline, and the extensive suite of accessory minerals are presented in
detail. The authors also resolve identification questions about the tourmaline
and its many accessory minerals.
Dr. Steven C. Chamberlain has produced 380 scholarly articles,
including five in Science or Nature. He has chaired the Rochester
Mineralogical Symposium for 30 years and is coordinator of the Center for
Mineralogy, New York State Museum.

DON’T CALL THEM TRAILER TRA SH: The Illustrated Mobile Home Story
John Brunkowski & Michael Closen
• Nearly 400 images challenging the stereotype of mobile homes
• Includes postcards, home advertising, emblems, newspaper articles,
memorabilia, and other items of interest
• Features of mobile homes are explored
Although the phrase “trailer trash” is catchy and kitschy in describing mobile
home living, this revealing peek into a stereotype that has dogged the mobile
home since its earliest days challenges that label and defends the honor of
the trailer home. Via nearly 400 colorful and fun images—including 300
postcards, home advertising, emblems, newspaper articles, memorabilia,
and other items of interest—the novel point is made: the mobile home
most assuredly deserves greater respect. Ten chapters explore features of
mobile home living — from the history, residential parks and amenities,
and mobile mansions to interior and exterior designs, and the people who
live in them. So, keep an open mind. You may come away with a new attitude
about the mobile home.
For some 30 years, John Brunkowski and Michael Closen have
traveled extensively in their RVs throughout North America. This is the 9th
book they have written together. John received his BSN degree and worked
in health care, and Michael earned BS, MA and JD degrees and served as
a college professor.

VINTAGE TRAILER VOYEUR: A Peek inside the Unique Custom Trailer Culture
Victoria Ocken
• Airstream to Shasta and Kom-Pak, a look at vintage campers and their collectors
• Features multiple travel trailer periods and brands, some of them rare
• Contains almost 400 photos of classic travel trailers and their decor
Take a fanciful journey into the world of vintage camping trailers through
the stories of their owners. Almost 400 photos offer a peek at the rare, the
unique, the coveted, and the just plain adorable. Tag along to a vintage trailer
rally, visit an all-girls camp, and check out the decor of these jewels—ranging
from original birch paneling, chenille bedspreads, and a period-perfect
Dixie stove, to a “Sharkstream” trailer-as-art-installation. Those with the
conviction that trailers deserve to be loved and lived in will enjoy exploring
the possibilities as they search for, renovate, or simply dream of living in
their own little piece of history.
This is Vicki Ocken’s first book on vintage trailers. She has been immersed in
this lifestyle for some time, traveling and seeking out unusual and original finds.

SITTING BULL, CRA ZY HORSE, GOLD AND GUNS: The 1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road and
Prospecting Expedition and the Battle of Lodge Grass Creek
Colonel French L. MacLean, U.S. Army Retired
• The expedition was hoping to find the Lost Cabin Gold Mine; instead, they
found Sitting Bull and his warriors
• Documents three battles with Sitting Bull and Lakota/Northern Cheyenne
Warriors
• Day-by-day account of the expedition and its influence on the Little Bighorn
campaign two years later
This is the story of 150 of the most adventurous scouts, gold prospectors,
gunslingers, buffalo hunters, and Civil War veterans of both sides—they
may have been the deadliest collection of shooters to ever hit the trail.
This is the most detailed work ever produced on the obscure legend of the
1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road Prospecting Expedition in the Montana
Territory—the product of multi-year research across the country, and visits
to the three battlefields and expedition route of over 500 miles; an event
that impacted the Little Bighorn in 1876. Numerous legends of the West
rode on the expedition, later playing roles in the Great Sioux War of 1876.
Their adversaries now were the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne—some of
the greatest light cavalry to ever gallop over the North American continent.
And watching their every move were Sitting Bull, Gall, Hump, Crazy Horse,
and a renegade chief named Inkpaduta, ready to strike.
French MacLean is the author of twelve books on World War II, and
two on the American West. In 2012, his work Custer’s Best: The Story of
Company M, 7th Cavalry at the Little Bighorn received the Little Bighorn
Association John M. Carroll Award.

ARTIFACTS OF THE BATTLE OF LITTLE BIG HORN: Custer, the 7th Cavalry & the Lakota and Cheyenne Warriors
Will Hutchison
• Comprehensive photographic study of surviving Battle of Little Big Horn
artifacts with compelling narratives authenticating each item
• Coverage of the battle, Custer and the 7th Cavalry, and the Indian warriors
• Hundreds of artifact images, many of which have never been made public before
This book is a first-of-a-kind comprehensive, photographic essay regarding
surviving artifacts of Custer and the Battle of the Little Big Horn – some
never before published. Years were spent photographing and acquiring
artifacts in museums and private collections, which are presented here in
vivid, high-resolution color photographs, shot from various angles with the
researcher and collector in mind. The photographs are catalogued under
chapters devoted to the battle, Custer’s 7th Cavalry, and the Lakota and
Cheyenne warriors who fought them. Hundreds of photographic images
accompanying the chapters are filled with informative descriptions regarding
physical properties, history, origin of the items, and the stories behind them.
This definitive work will provide a valuable resource for military researchers
and historians, as well as an aesthetically stunning photographic essay to
compliment any collection or library.
Will Hutchison is a successful novelist, historical writer, and
photographer. He is a retired military officer and federal agent, who
graduated from Syracuse University and studied photography at Corcoran
College of Art and Design, Washington, DC.

• A stage-eye view of country music’s golden era and icons of the ‘50s and ‘60s
• Reveals the close working and personal relationships he had with “Mr. Guitar”
Chet Atkins
Unassuming late guitarist Paul Yandell described his career not as one of
celebrity but as sideman, the musician that audiences hear while they’re
focused on the star. From his humble beginnings as a poor Kentucky farm
boy learning to play to taking the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, he ultimately
gained the trust and confidence of two of America’s finest musicians,
Jerry Reed and the incomparable Chet Atkins. Compiled from personal
correspondence and interviews, Paul’s online posts, and family members,
a lifetime in the music business is recounted, from breaking in with the
Louvin Brothers in the 1950s to his 25-year association with “Mr. Guitar”
Chet Atkins, to his last recording in 2006. Along the way, Paul provides
a wealth of information and history about guitar modification, gear and
gadgets, and the people and personalities of country music’s golden era in
the second half of the 20th century.
Norm Van Maastricht plays several instruments and has taught music.
He has played many a saloon and music festival. Some years spent hiring
bands in a nightclub gave added insight to working on “both sides of the
mic” with a variety of musicians

MAIDO: A Gaijin’s Guide to Japanese Gestures and Culture
Christy Colón Hasegawa
• Illustrates common Japanese gestures and defines their meanings and cultural contexts
• Color coded chapters include pantomimes for ordering food, greeting strangers, and slang terms
• Sticking the tip of the thumb between the index and middle fingers indicates having sex
Maido (my dough, not to be confused with that childhood favorite, Play-Doh) describes the most common
Japanese gestures and defines their meanings and the cultural contexts that surround them. Japanese gestures
are a world of their own, much the way the language and country are. In the Kansai region of Japan, people
often use the term Maido as a greeting in business and sales, and as a send-off to a business’s best customers
as if to say, “come again” or “thank you.” In this case, Maido is welcoming you to a world in which you don’t
offend every Japanese person you meet. By learning a few simple gestures you can avoid making intercultural
slip-ups and win the respect of locals. And who knows—maybe the next time you walk into the local izakaya
(watering hole), you may be lucky enough to hear someone saying, “Maido! Maido!” to you.
Raised in Japan on a US military base, Christy Colón Hasegawa was fascinated and at times entertained
by how the gestures her father used didn’t always translate to her mom and the Japanese side of the family.
She is a producer for advertising agency Sid Lee and lives in the Netherlands.

MAI-KAI: History and Mystery of the Iconic Tiki Restaurant
Tim “Swanky” Glazner
• An immersive collection of 400 eye-candy photos commemorating the classic Mai-Kai Restaurant’s 60th anniversary
• Explores the birth of Polynesian pop culture and history of the world’s greatest Tiki establishment
• Foreword by Sven Kirsten, author of The Book of Tiki and Tiki Pop
In 1956, a few brash young men created the Mai-Kai Restaurant and bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by
poaching key staff from Don the Beachcomber’s, a Polynesian-themed Chicago restaurant. The Mai-Kai
became the playground of celebrities and playboys, and the beautiful women working there used it as a
jumping-off point for adventure and fame. Through first-hand stories and more than 400 images, this book
documents the history, allure, and enduring legacy of the mid-twentieth-century Tiki era. Focusing on the
period 1955 to 1971, it is the story of how the Mai-Kai and its iconic elements came to exist, and the men
and women who shaped it and went on to shape the world. Now listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, Mai-Kai is the only place on earth that still serves the Rum Rhapsodies thatkicked off that indulgent era.
Tim “Swanky” Glazner has been collecting and researching midcentury paraphernalia for decades. He
has shared his knowledge in documentaries, articles, seminars, and other media. He is an expert on the Tiki
era—its music, cocktails, ephemera, and history.

MIRTH IN THE MORNING...AND ALL LAUGHTERNOON: 1,001 Cartoons to Fill the Day with Delight
Jonny Hawkins
• A collection of 1,001 newspaper-style comics on every topic imaginable
• 30 years’ worth of single-panel cartoons, with and without captions
• Hilarious images and clever zingers will keep you smiling
This treasure trove of humor from one of the country’s most prolific
cartoonists is filled with comics that range in subject matter from fishing
and golf to medicine and business, dogs and cats to children and family.
Selected from the fruits of a 30-year freelance career, the cartoons are done
in pastels, gray wash, and digital color, with most of the pieces designed in a
campy, reader-friendly, black and white line-drawn style. These single-panel
illustrations take a peek at our everyday lives—turned on their heads—and
are served with witty quips, clever one-liners, and puns, or are occasionally
presented as wordless frames conveying a delightfully slapstick scenario.
Fans of the funny papers and readers looking for a quick and easy laugh will
relate to the ingeniously illustrated, often very silly, situations, which capture
our foibles, fears, and just a few flaws, on every page.
Jonny Hawkins has drawn more than 26,000 cartoons for over 800
publications, including five annual “Cartoon a Day” calendars. He lives in
Sherwood, Michigan, with his wife, Carissa, and their kids, Nate, Zach, and
Kara, a dog, and six cats.

Behind the Paranormal
Journey through the paranormal from prehistory to the planets and our
future, with over 50 bizarre cases of ghosts, poltergeists, demons, cryptids,
UFOs, and other out-of-the-ordinary phenomena. Based on CBS and
WOON 1240 radio scripts broadcast by a world-famous father-and-son
team of paranormal investigators, their research has revealed bizarre
connections not only between seemingly unrelated occurrences but also
between the paranormal and our everyday lives, the history of our species,
and our possible future as a race. Meet inter-world parasites that might be
farming your family or community, encounter disappearing buildings, and
ghosts of people who aren’t dead. Push the boundaries as you find out what
the Bible and other ancient documents might really mean, and what UFOs,
invisible friends, and those footsteps in the attic could really be. Explaining
the paranormal is not the problem. It’s handling the explanations. Everything
you know is wrong.
Paul and Ben Eno are father-son co-hosts of CBS paranormal radio shows,
with an estimated 3 million listeners. Paul began paranormal research in
1970 while studying for the priesthood. Ben is a sound expert and graduate

MABEL AND THE QUEEN OF DREAMS
Henry, Joshua & Harrison Herz, Illustrations by Lisa Woods
• A restless Mabel falls asleep to the soothing story of the Queen of Dreams
• The story of a magical fairy who glides over sleeping children, painting their
dreams
• Appeals to parents who appreciate Shakespeare and whose children resist
going to sleep
Little Mabel is an expert at not going to sleep. She knows all the best bedtimeavoiding excuses. “I’m thirsty.” “I need to use the bathroom.” “Will you tell
me a story?” Luckily, Mom’s quiver of bedtime tales includes the story of the
Fae Queen, who paints children’s dreams and can only visit when their eyes
are closed. Inspired by Mercutio’s soliloquy in Romeo & Juliet, in which he
details how the tiny fairy queen influences people’s dreams as she passes by
in her flying chariot, the soothing story evokes images of an ant in a worn
gray coat and a hazelnut-shell chariot with a roof of grasshopper wings. Told
in lyrical language that adults will also appreciate, the story helps parents
get their kids to sleep. For ages 0–6.
Henry Herz authored the picture books Monster Goose Nursery Rhymes,
When You Give an Imp a Penny, Little Red Cuttlefish, and Dinosaur Pirates.
Lisa Woods is an illustrator in Orange County, California.

JUST ONE THING
N. Viau, Illustrated by Timothy Young
• Anthony Pantaloni needs to find one thing he’s good at before starting middle
school
• A fifth-grader uses creativity to find his passion and get rid of an unwanted
nickname
• A light-hearted tale about bullying, belonging, self-identity, and resilience
Every child about to enter middle school will be able to relate to this heartwarming, funny story. Anthony Pantaloni needs to figure out one thing he
does well—one thing that will replace the Antsy Pants nickname he got
tagged with on the first day of fifth grade, one good thing he can “own”
before moving up to middle school next year. It seems that every kid at
Carpenter Elementary has a claim to fame: Marcus is Mr. Athletic, Alexis
is Smart Aleck, Bethany has her horse obsession, and even Cory is known
as the toughest kid in the school. Ant tries lots of things, but nothing sticks!
It doesn’t help that there are obstacles along the way—a baton-twirling
teacher, an annoying cousin, and Dad’s new girlfriend, to name a few. Just
One Thing! is chock full of hilarious adventures that will keep young readers
cheering until the very end. For ages 8–12.
Nancy Viau is the author of several picture books and a middle grade
novel, Samantha Hansen Has Rocks in Her Head. Timothy Young is the
author/illustrator of six picture books including I Hate Picture Books! and
The Angry Little Puffin.

PARANORMAL PROVINCETOWN: Legends and Lore of the Outer Cape
Sam Baltrusis
• Over 20 haunted hotspots organized by 6 types of paranormal locations in
and around Provincetown, MA
• Topics include historic, crime, nightlife, overnight, secret, and Truro haunts
• Find out about about UFOs and Cryptids as well
Known as the spot where the Pilgrims first set foot on Cape Cod in 1620,
it’s no surprise that Provincetown, Massachusetts, is a hotspot for tourists
as well as hauntings—including over twenty historic, crime, nightlife,
overnight, secret, and Truro haunts. Take a stroll along Commercial Street
where the historic Lancy mansion is allegedly haunted by an old woman
who died in the late 1800s, but due to the frozen ground, she couldn’t be
buried, so her son kept her propped up at an open window all winter long.
Learn about the historic “Black Flash” of Provincetown—a grim reapertype beast that would snatch children away in the 1930s. From the historic
maritime-themed buildings lining Commercial Street to the shores of the
Provincetown Harbor, it is clear that there is hardly a corner of the tip of
Cape Cod where the paranormal cannot be experienced.
Paranormal journalist Sam Baltrusis, author of Ghosts of Boston and
Ghosts of Salem, is a Somerville-based editor and instructor.

MIAMI, REAL AND IMAGINED
The Photography of Hank Klein
• Technologically manipulated images of Miami’s people, culture, and buildings
• “Before and after” shots juxtapose traditional photographs with their color- and texture-enhanced counterparts
• An eclectic collection of images showcases Miami’s rich and diverse cultural life
When former photographer and commercial real estate executive Hank Klein suffered a debilitating stroke in
2012, experimenting with photographic effects became an important part of his recovery. Viewed through a
Leica lens and Klein’s vision and imagination, more than 200 colorful Miami scenes invite readers to view the
same subject matter in two ways—one as a traditional photograph and one reinterpreted with color, texture,
and cropping. From the landmark Freedom Tower to an Everglades alligator, from Herzog & de Meuron’s
snazzy new Perez Art Museum to the old Vagabond Motel, striking compositions become more complex
with the aid of technology and Klein’s haiku-like commentary.
Hank Klein has lived in Miami since 1957. He was a photographer for the Miami News and later a staff
photographer at the University of Miami.

SMALL DREAMS: 50 Palm Springs Trailer Homes
Jeffrey Milstein
• Documents the unique architecture and landscaping of mid-twentieth-century
Palm Springs trailer parks
• Includes Blue Skies Village Trailer Park, founded in 1955 by Bing Crosby
• Symmetrically composed photographic collection of iconic trailer homes and
their relationship to the desert setting
A rare study of an architectural typology that evolved after WWII, this
book documents Palm Springs’ early trailer parks such as Sahara, Blue Sky,
and Horizon. Parked on small plots with their front facing the street, these
tiny homes were made of surplus sheet metal using technology developed
in aircraft factories during WWII. Each photo is taken from the same
straightforward angle, creating a registry of variations on a theme. Over time,
people remodeled, adding rooms, sometimes putting two homes together,
creating facades with grills or patterns, or in some cases mini-variations of
international styles usually found in more affluent neighborhoods. Many
have unique creative touches that set them apart from the neighbors. Each
photograph reflects on the nuanced details and expressive personalized
touches of the trailer’s inhabitants.
Jeffrey Milstein is a photographer, architect, graphic designer, and pilot.
His photographs have been exhibited and collected throughout the United
States and Europe. Born in Los Angeles, where he frequently returns to
shoot, Milstein lives in Woodstock, New York.

JEWISH TREASURES OF THE CARIBBEAN: The Legacy of Judaism in the New World
Photographs by Wyatt Gallery, essays by Stanley Mirvis, PhD, with a foreword by Jonathan D. Sarna, PhD
• A photo essay of the little-known history of the first Jewish enclaves in the
New World
• Documents the oldest Jewish synagogues and cemeteries in the Western
Hemisphere dating to the 1600s
• Just five historic synagogues remain in use today throughout the Caribbean
This photographic essay highlights the little-known history of the first Jewish
communities established in the New World dating to the 1600s. Awardwinning photographer Wyatt Gallery documents the oldest synagogues
and cemeteries on Barbados, Curacao, Jamaica, St. Thomas, St. Eustatius,
and Suriname through his singular style of photos with histories written
by Stanley Mirvis. The enclaves, formed by Sephardic Jews who fled the
Catholic Inquisition, became so influential that they helped fuel the success
of the American Revolution and partially finance the first synagogues in New
York City and Newport, Rhode Island. Once home to thousands, today
these historic communities are rapidly dwindling and could soon disappear.
Only five historic synagogues remain in use, and many of the cemeteries
have been damaged or lost to natural disasters, vandalism, and pollution.
These photographs bear witness to the legacy of New World Judaism and
provide a record for future generations.
Wyatt Gallery is an award-winning American photographer and Fulbright
Fellow whose work is in the permanent collection of numerous museums
and corporate collections, and has been featured in Esquire, the New York
Times, Condé Nast Traveler, American Photo, and more.

The Chester Town Tea Party. Brenda Seabrooke.
Illustrated by Nancy C. Smith. Amanda Wetherby was
nine years old in May of 1774, when the people of Chester
Town, Maryland voted not to buy, sell, or use tea. Amanda
was very unhappy not to have tea to drink with meals. The
next day, her brother, George, swaggered off to a “tea
party just for men." Amanda decided she would go too.
And if the party is for men only—why, she would dress
as a boy! So, she becomes part of an event that is still
celebrated each May in modern Chestertown.
