Imagination Illustrated The Jim Henson Journal • By Karen Falk • Foreword by Lisa Henson Jim Henson’s iconic puppet characters, fantastic worlds, and warm humor have delighted millions of people of all ages. His incredibly diverse body of work, from the Muppets to the world of The Dark Crystal, reveals his charm and genius to fans old and new. Compiled directly from The Jim Henson Company archives, Imagination Illustrated adapts the diary that Jim faithfully kept throughout his career, supplementing it with a trove of little-seen visual material, including rare sketches, personal and production photographs, storyboards, doodles, and much more. Throughout, archivist Karen Falk delves into the behind-thescenes details of Henson’s life and artistic process. Sure to delight anyone who has enjoyed Henson’s creations—seeing early drawings of Kermit and Rowlf is like smiling over childhood photos of dear friends—this lovely book celebrates Jim’s life and his magic.

F*ck! I’m in My Twenties By Emma Koenig Everyone has that moment—the realization that adulthood has arrived, like a runaway train, and there’s no getting out of its way. From the hit Tumblr blog of the same name, F*ck! I’m in My Twenties perfectly captures the new generation currently testing the waters of post-college reality. Quick-witted and self-deprecating, the author pens irreverent missives, DIY diagrams, illustrations, and tongue-in-cheek checklists that chronicle her experience as a twenty-something living in the big city. Including the best of her beloved blog, plus over 50% new material, this is a perfect humor impulse buy for anyone who has a love-hate relationship with their twenties. Emma Koenig is a New York–based actor/singer/writer and the creator of the blog, fuckiminmy20s.tumblr.com. She is still waiting for her BFA to pay for itself and is often mistaken for a high school student. F*ck! I’m in My Twenties $9.95 US PB • 978-1-4521-1053-0 5 x 7 in, 128 pp, b/w images throughout Rights: W Humor/Pop Culture SEPTEMBER Marketing and Publicity Plan: Online advertising campaign Video trailer K Is for Knifeball An Alphabet of Terrible Advice • By Avery Monsen and Jory John From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are dead. (more than 175,000 copies sold) and in the humorous vein of Go the F**k to Sleep comes a laugh-outloud collection of bad advice that turns the children’s alphabet book on its head. Adorable illustrated characters lead readers down a path of poor decision-making, and alphabetical, rhyming couplets offer terrible life lessons in which O is for opening things with your teeth, F is for setting Daddy’s wallet on fire, and R is for Raccoon (but definitely not for rabies). With plenty of playfully disastrous choices lurking around every corner, this compendium of black humor may be terrible for actual children, but it’s perfect for the common-senseless child in all adults. Avery Monsen is a New York–based artist and writer. Jory John is a California-based writer, editor, and cartoonist. They are the authors of All my friends are dead. and All my friends are still dead.
