Ivory Shoals
John Brandon

The the Lights and Types of Ships at Night
Dave Eggers and Annie Dills
$18.99 $17.66“You may have heard of Dave Eggers. You may also have heard of this book, soaked in candy-colored lights and childlike hyperbole in service of beauty. Eggers takes the rudimentary idea of a picture book about boats and turns it into a collection of nighttime images that seep off the page into your dreams. Unforgettable.” —Betsy Bird, Collection Development Manager of the Evanston Public Library, and the former Youth Materials Specialist of New York Public Library

Black Imagination: Black Voices on Black Futures
$14.00 $13.02
“Black Imagination is somehow as innovatively utopic as it is sincerely soulful. I’ve never felt the physical feeling of pages melting in my hands or chapters folding themselves into squadrons of black airplanes flying to freedom because I’ve never experienced an art object like Black Imagination. It is exquisite art in action.” —Kiese Laymon

My Favorite Girlfriend Was a French Bulldog
Legna Rodriguez Iglesias
$22.00 $20.46“This profound and delightful novel-in-stories… is a breathtaking exploration of identity, country, art, and family.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The the Game: A Digital Turning Point
Alessandro Baricco
$24.00“Are our Big Tech overlords rewiring our brains? Do they know precisely how, or what the end result will be? Who can guide us through this territory with the appropriate mixture of slyness and sure-footedness, delight and terror, with subtle and jarring insights arriving at the rate of at least one per paragraph? The answers, respectively, are absolutely, absolutely not, and Alessandro Barrico.” —Andrew Marantz of The New Yorker

My Gaza: A City in Photographs
$35.00
“Blistering portraits of a territory plagued by violence… atmospheric, visually moving.” —Kirkus (starred review)

The the Fire in His Wake
Spencer Wolff
$28.00“There is not a page of “The Fire in His Wake” that is not skillfully written and compelling… an utterly successful first novel, one that sports a flair for harrowing adventure matched with a complex political conscience… it is not too early to say Mr. Wolff’s novel will be one of the best debuts of the year.” —The East Hampton Star

Of Color: Essays
Jaswinder Bolina
$18.00 $16.74“Jaswinder Bolina’s insightful, raw and honest collection of brilliant essays illuminate the joys and pains of being a specific person Of Color and through his unique lens we also come to understand the universal ongoing story of America.” —Wajahat Ali

Heaven
Emerson Whitney
