Hemmingway and Bailey's Bartending Guide to Great American Writers

This book is a lot of fun.

From the book jacket:

"In this entertaining homage to the golden age of the cocktail, illustrator Edward Hemingway and writer Mark Bailey present the best (and thirstiest) American writers, their favorite cocktails, true stories of their saucy escapaes, and intoxicating excerpts from their literary works. It's the perfect blend of classic cocktail recipes, literary history and tales of the good old days of extravagant Martini lunches and delicious excess.

Interesting tidbit: Illustrator Edward Hemingway is the grandson of Ernest.

Life Is Meals - Fabrice Moireau

I've already blogged about the book Life Is Meals by James and Kay Salter. Fabrice Moireau did the illustrations for the book and I find them to be quite wonderful. I've just discovered online another book of his work titled Rooftops of Paris which I hope to pick up soon.

Praying with Saint Matthew's Gospel

This book takes the Gospel of Matthew and breaks it down to a daily reading of a verse or two a day. Each daily excerpt includes a commentary.

The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb

Comic book/graphic novel version of Genesis with brilliant illustrations by R. Crumb. I've hear that every word is included and that the work was five years in the making.
