AMY STEWART“We stood in the doorway for a minute and looked around us. There wasn’ta bottle in the store that we couldn’t assign a genus and species to. Bourbon?Zea mays, an overgrown grass . . . Polish vodka? Solanum tuberosum—anightshade, which is a weird family of plants if there ever was one. Beer?Humulus lupulus, a sticky climbing vine that happens to be a close cousinto cannabis. Suddenly we weren’t in a liquor store any more. We were in afantastical greenhouse, the world’s most exotic botanical garden.”—from the introduction to The Drunken BotanistEvery great drink starts with a plant. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged frombarley. Gin was born from a conifer shrub when medieval physicians boiled juniper berrieswith wine to treat stomach pain. The Drunken Botanist uncovers the enlighteningbotanical history and the fascinating science and chemistry of over 150 plants, flowers, trees,and fruits (and even a few fungi).Some of the most extraordinary and obscure plants have been fermented and distilled, andthey each represent a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.Molasses was an essential ingredient in American independence: when the British forced thecolonies to buy British rather than French molasses for their New World rum-making, the settlers’outrage kindled the American Revolution. Captain James Cook harvested the young, greentips of spruce trees to make a vitamin C–rich beer that cured his crew of scurvy—a recipe thatJane Austen enjoyed so much that she used it as a plot point in Emma. And the South Americanangostura tree, employed by explorer Alexander von Humboldt to treat fever, was at the centerof a thirty-year international court battle over the trademarking of cocktail bitters.With a delightful two-color vintage-style interior, over fifty drink recipes, growing tips forgardeners, and advice that carries Stewart’s trademark wit, this is the perfect gift for gardenersand cocktail aficionados alike.AMY STEWART is the award-winning author of six books on the perils and pleasures of the naturalworld, including three New York Times bestsellers: Wicked Bugs, Wicked Plants, and Flower Confidential.She is the cofounder of the popular blog Garden Rant and a contributing editor at Fine Gardening magazine.She and her husband live in Eureka, California, where they own an antiquarian bookstore calledEureka Books.

REBECCA LEEBOBCAT AND OTHER STORIES“Bobcat and Other Stories is nothing short of brilliant. Rebecca Lee writes with theunflinching, cumulatively devastating precision of Chekhov and Munro, peelingback layer after layer of illusion until we’re left with the truth of ourselves . . .This extraordinary story collection is sure to confirm its author as one of the bestwriters of her generation.” —Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime WalkAt turns witty, heartbreaking, and fiercely intelligent,Bobcat and Other Stories establishes Rebecca Leeas one of our most gifted and original short storywriters. Using a range of landscapes and countries, Lee createsfull worlds, so that each story reads like a short novel. Astudent plagiarizes a paper and holds fast to her alibi, findingherself complicit in the resurrection of one professor’s shadowypast. A dinner party becomes the occasion for the dissolutionof more than one marriage. A woman is hired to finda marriage match for the one true soulmate she’s ever found.In all, Rebecca Lee traverses the terrain of infidelity, obligation,sacrifice, jealousy, and finally, optimism. She createscharacters so wonderfully flawed, so driven by their desire,so compelled to make sense of their human condition, thatit’s impossible not to feel for them when their fragile beliefsof romantic love, domestic bliss, or academic seclusion failto provide them with the sort of force field they’d hoped for.MORE ADVANCE PRAISE:JUNESTORIES256 pages, 5½" x 8¼"ISBN 978-1-61620-173-9$22.95 HARDCOVERNO. 73173WORLD EXCLUDING UKE-BOOK ISBN 978-1-61620-265-1• National publicity• 6-city author tour• National advertising• Essay and excerpt in the AlgonquinReader• Author Spotlight on Algonquin website• Online marketing and advertisingcampaign“Alternately poignant, searingly intelligent, and laugh-out-loudfunny, the stories in Rebecca Lee’s Bobcat will have you torn betweentwo impulses: the impulse to reread an exquisite sentenceagain and again in order to appreciate its clear, sharp prose andsurprising imagery, and the impulse to race ahead, eager to findout what happens next.” —Johanna Skibsrud, ScotiabankGiller Prize–winning author of The SentimentalistsREBECCA LEE is professor of creative writing at the Universityof North Carolina at Wilmington and the author of The City Is aRising Tide.

MATTI FRIEDMANTHE ALEPPO CODEXIN PURSUIT OF ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOSTCOVETED, SACRED, AND MYSTERIOUS BOOKS“A superb work of investigative journalism that reads like a detective thriller.”—The Wall Street JournalAthousand years ago, the most perfect copy of theHebrew Bible was written. It was kept safe throughone upheaval after another in the Middle East,and by the 1940s it was housed in a dark grotto in Aleppo,Syria, and had become known around the world as theAleppo Codex.Journalist Matti Friedman’s true-life detective storytraces how this precious manuscript was smuggled from itshiding place in Syria into the newly founded state of Israeland how and why many of its most sacred and valuablepages went missing. It’s a tale that involves grizzled secretagents, pious clergymen, shrewd antiquities collectors, andhighly placed national figures who, as it turns out, would doanything to get their hands on an ancient, decaying book.What it reveals are uncomfortable truths about greed, statecover-ups, and the fascinating role of historical treasures increating a national identity.“A thrilling, step-by-step quest to discover what reallyhappened to Judaism’s most important book . . . Many of[The Aleppo Codex’s] most astute and well-earned revelationsare also its biggest surprises.” —The Boston Globe“[It] could be read as a thriller. It could also be read as ahistory of the Jewish people, or as a meditation on historyand myth.” —Jonathan Safran Foer“Read[s] more like a detective novel than history . . .Friedman has written an important account in accessible,gripping prose.” —The Christian Science Monitor“A treasure box of history, mystery, conspiracy, and convolutionsthat would do any biblical thriller proud . . .Remarkable.” —Booklist, starred reviewMATTI FRIEDMAN has been a correspondent for theAssociated Press, where he specialized in religion and archaeologyin Israel and the Palestinian territories, and for the JerusalemReport, and he currently writes for the Times of Israel.

JANET GROTHTHE RECEPTIONISTAN EDUCATION AT THE NEW YORKER“Groth provides sharp and very personal insight into some of the greatest writersof the last century, as well as a fascinating look inside the magazine thathas shaped American culture like no other . . . [A] lovely, moving, and utterlyengrossing book.” —Joanna Smith Rakoff, author of A Fortunate AgeIn 1957, when a young Midwestern woman landed a jobat The New Yorker, she didn’t expect to stay long at thereception desk. But stay she did, and for twenty-oneyears she had the best seat in the house. In addition to takingmessages, she ran interference for jealous wives checkingon adulterous husbands, drank with famous writers atfamous watering holes throughout bohemian GreenwichVillage, and was seduced, two-timed, and proposed to bya few of the magazine’s eccentric luminaries. This memoirof a particular time and place is an enchanting tale of awoman in search of herself.“Written in lean, graceful prose that offers ample evidenceof [Groth’s] talent, the book is as much a window into themythologized publication as it is a chronicle of one woman’sself-discovery.” —The New York Times“[A] graceful memoir . . . It’s not her sexual saga but her evocationof the Mad Men working environment that makesGroth’s memoir interesting. The Receptionist vividly depicts alargely vanished Manhattan in which Ritz Crackers were thefoundation of hors d’oeuvres, martinis were the mainstay oflunches, and pliable, overqualified women were stuck in lowlyjobs forever.” —The Washington Post“Are you a New Yorker magazine groupie? Do you wait everyweek just to laugh at the cartoons and read Talk of the Town?If so, we have a book for you . . . The magazine’s eccentricitywas not lost on Groth.
