MARCH 366 More Great Stories from History For Every Day of the Year W.B. Marsh & Bruce Carrick 366 is the sequel to the bestselling 365—highly addictive, bite-size chunks of history. Every day of the year has a story to tell. Who was assassinated, acceded to the throne, was born, began an affair, died on what particular day It may seem strange that even the biggest events of world history happened on a particular day—your birthday, a rainy day in May or sunny one in June. Read about the first ever tanks going into combat on the Somme, Jesse Owens humiliating the Nazis at the Olympic Games, the bikini swimsuit making its debut and the beginning of prohibition. W.B. Marsh and Bruce Carrick present a leap year of historical stories in turns amazing, horrifying, touching and tearful. Spanning the history of man’s life on earth and every corner of the inhabited world, they paint a picture of infinite richness and enthralling detail. W.B. Marsh was born in New York but now lives in London. On his birthday—26 October—the legendary “Gunfight at the OK Corral” took place at Tombstone, Arizona, in 1881. Bruce Carrick has worked in New York and London and now lives in New York State. • Co-op available March • History/World 576 pages • 6 1 ⁄2 x 9 1 ⁄2 • Carton qty: tbd ISBN13: 978-1-84046-827-4 1-84046-827-0 • $24.95 cl. • [ T ] ALSO AVAILABLE 365 1-84046-675-8 • $14.95 pb. • [ T ] TOTEM BOOKS The Karmapa’s Middle Way Feast for the Fortunate By the Ninth Karmapa, Wangchuk Dorje Translated by Tyler Dewar Marked by eloquent poetry, vigorous and extensive analysis, and heart instructions on breaking through the veils of confusion to independently experience the true nature of things, The Karmapa’s Middle Way contains the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje’s comprehensive commentary on the Indian master Chandrakirti’s seminal text, the Entrance to the Middle Way. This commentary, Feast for the Fortunate, is the Ninth Karmapa’s abridgement of the Eighth Karmapa Mikyö Dorje’s masterpiece, the Chariot of the Takpo Kagyü Siddhas. In it readers will find previously unavailable material on the Karmapa’s Middle Way view and a rare window into a philosophically charged era of Middle Way exposition in Tibetan Buddhism. In this book, Chandrakirti and the Karmapa present in precise detail the vital Buddhist concept of emptiness, through which the Mahayana path of compassionate altruism becomes complete. The Ninth Karmapa, Wangchuk Dorje (1556- 1603), was a prolific author on a wide range of sutra and tantra topics and is most renowned in the Kagyü tradition for his instructions on Mahamudra. Tyler Dewar lives in Seattle, WA. • Direct mail campaign • Reviews and ads in major Buddhist journals (Tricycle, Shambhala Sun, Buddhadharma, Bodhi, Mandala) and trade publications March • Religion/Buddhism 850 pages • 6 x 9 • Carton qty: 10 ISBN13: 978-1-55939-289-1 1-55939-289-4 • $59.95 cl. • [ T ] SNOW LION PUBLICATIONS 114 Winter 2008 National Book Network • www.nbnbooks.com

From stars’ movie sets to bizarre locations, Raab has pursued the art of the elusive, unlikely intimate profile, from bouncing along Malibu waves as Sean Penn’s first mate in Penn’s boat, to hanging backstage with Will Ferrell, dressed as a Speedo-clad leprechaun. No matter the setting, Raab draws evocative word pictures of how the world’s most famous folk eat, think, hide and (sometimes) confess. In these Hollywood—and New York—stories, actors, musicians and star athletes are expertly pulled down from their pedestals, for all of us to inspect. Up close, and much more personally. Esquire writer-at-large and recent Court TV contributor Scott Raab has written celebrity and other stories for national magazines since earning an M.F.A. at the Iowa Writers Workshop. His work has also appeared in GQ, Self and Sport magazines, as well as The New York Times. • Co-op available • Author tour: national television March • Business 272 pages • 6 x 9 • Carton qty: 40 ISBN13: 978-1-57685-604-8 1-57685-604-6 • $14.95 pb. • [ TR ] LEARNINGEXPRESS, LLC March • Entertainment/Biography 196 pages • 6 x 9 • Carton qty: 45 ISBN13: 978-0-9776142-5-5 0-9776142-5-5 • $16.00 pb. • [ T ] TATRA PRESS LLC & BOCO MEDIA LLC National Book Network • 1-800-462-6420 Winter 2008 115
