BON APPETEMPT: A Coming-of-Age Story (with Recipes!)
February 2015
When Amelia Morris found a beautiful chocolate cake in Bon Appétit and took the recipe home to recreate
it for a Christmas day brunch she was hosting, it collapsed into a terrible (but delicious) mess that had to
be served in an oversized bowl. As she gets older, the kitchen is where she finds that even if some of her
attempts fall short of the standard set by a food magazine, they can still bring satisfaction to her and her
family and friends. Full of hilarious observations about food, family, unemployment, romance, and the
excesses of modern L.A., and incorporating recipes as basic as Toasted Cheerios and as advanced as
gâteau de crêpes, BON APPETEMPT is sure to resonate with anyone who has tried and failed, and been all
the better for it.

Morton, Andrew
17 CARNATIONS: The Royals, the Nazis, and the Biggest Cover-Up in History
March 2015
Morton tells the story of Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, and his wife Wallis Simpson, whose affair with
Joachim von Ribbentrop embroiled the Duke in a German plot to use him as a puppet king during the
Nazi’s takeover of the British Empire. Although we know that the war ended with Hitler's defeat,
Edward's story was far from over. The Duke's collaboration with Hitler had resulted in piles of
correspondence; this damning correspondence, now hidden in a German castle that had fallen to
American soldiers, could forever tarnish the reputation of the royal family. 17 CARNATIONS reveals, for
the first time in history, the ensuing cover-up, starting with a daring heist to bring the letters back safely
to England, out of American hands. Andrew Morton is an acclaimed journalist and bestselling celebrity
biographer, having published on Angelina Jolie, Madonna, and the British Royal Family.

Palmer, Amanda
THE ART OF ASKING
November 2014
Imagine standing on a platform in the middle of a busy urban center, dressed as a Gothic bride, and
asking people for money. Or touring Europe and Australia in a punk rock band, and finding shelter each
night by reaching out to strangers on Twitter. For Amanda Palmer, these actions have gone beyond
satisfying her basic needs for food and shelter—they've been a way to turn these strangers into friends,
build communities, and discover her own giving impulses. In THE ART OF ASKING, Palmer expands
upon her popular TED talk to outline how ordinary people—people without 875,000 Twitter followers
and adoring fans—can use these same principles in their own lives. Pithy, but sincere, THE ART OF
ASKING has the power to launch the movement Palmer has begun, and the potential to become a
perennial book for creative people.

THE AUTUMN BALLOON

Every autumn, Kenny Porpora would watch his heartbroken mother scribble messages on balloons and
release one into the sky for each family member they'd lost to addiction. As the number of balloons grew,
his mother fell deeper into alcoholism, drinking her nights away in front of the television. When their
house was foreclosed, Kenny and his mother absconded to the Arizona desert to join her heroin-addicted
brother. What followed was an outlaw adolescence surrounded by bizarre characters and drug-addicted
souls. Porpora’s memoir is the story of a deeply dysfunctional but loving family, and follows his life from
the chaos of his youth to his triumphs in the Ivy League.

Potter, Maximilian
SHADOWS IN THE VINEYARD
Twelve, July 2014
When Maximilian Potter went to Burgundy to report for Vanity Fair on a crime that could have destroyed
the Domaine de la Romanée Conti (a tiny vineyard that produces the most exquisite wines in the world)
he soon found a story that was more thrilling, than he had originally imagined. In January 2010, Aubert
de Villaine, the proprietor of the DRC, received an anonymous note threatening the destruction of his
vines by poison unless he paid a one million euro ransom. Villaine believed it to be a joke, but that
proved a fatal miscalculation; the crime was committed. The sinister story that Potter uncovered would
lead to a sting operation by top Paris detectives, the primary suspect's suicide, and a dramatic trial. Like
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, this takes us deep into a world full of fascinating characters and a
local culture defined by the twinned veins of excess and vitality and the deep reverent attention to the
land that run through it. Maximilian Potter is the executive editor of 5280: Denver's Magazine.

THE CONTENDER: A Biography of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
Twelve, November 2014
Andrew Cuomo is the protagonist of an ongoing political saga that reads like a novel, and more than
justifies the precocious biography that Michael Shnayerson has crafted. In many ways, Cuomo’s rise, fall,
and subsequent ascent map out an iconic story: a young American politician of vaunting ambition,
aiming for nothing less than the presidency. Cuomo set out to create a political dynasty, failed in 2002,
then bounced back in 2010 with the strategic savvy reminiscent of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Though
overshadowed right now by Hillary Clinton on the path to the Democratic nomination for president in
2016, he remains one of the country's most potent and impressive political leaders, about whom pundits
tend to agree that the White House for Cuomo is not a question of “if,” but “when.”

OUT OF THE BOX: How the Container Store Built a Business with Love and Leadership October 2014
It’s hard to believe that the Container Store, a shop that started by selling empty boxes, has become one of
the country’s most beloved companies. In OUT OF THE BOX, Tindell reveals his approach of what he
calls “conscious capitalism,” and shows how other companies can adapt his lessons to their own firms.
Tindell is that rare CEO who fully embraces the Golden Rule of business: to be totally transparent with
one's customers and employees (Tindell pays his employees twice the average national salary for retail
workers) in order to engender feelings of good will.
