A best-selling contemporary classic reborn on the thirtieth anniversary of its original release.
New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence focuses on the interiors, furnishings, art collections, and gardens of a handful of creative people in New Orleans in the 1990s. Dreamers and urban pioneers, they included bohemian artists, artisans, architects, preservationists, activists, antiquarians, restaurateurs, and teachers, all living outside the American mainstream. They tolerated crumbling plaster, exposed lathe, and sagging galleries in exchange for communal festivity and joie de vivre.
A heartwarming animal adventure tale with an unlikely hero -- for fans of Frog and Toad & Little Bear comes The Hesitant Hedgehog, the debut picture book from husband-and-wife team Meredith and Chishan Jao.
Hedgehog is a homebody. He's perfectly content to stay right where he is, until one day his excuses fall apart and he decides to go *gasp* OUTSIDE! It turns out that trying something new is not so bad - in fact, it's pretty fun, and he may have misjudged his woodland neighbors and their invitation to come out and play. Hedgehog returns to his beloved indoor activities with new eyes and maybe some new friends, too.
In The Geography of First Kisses, one finds portrayals of quiet elegance reminiscent of early-20th-century art films.
(This book cannot be returned.)
Fiction. In the small lake town in Florida where LuLu, Rainey, and Saul are growing up, life is complicated by war, longing, and the sharp pain of conditional love.
The Michael Storrings 'A Day At The Bookstore' Reusable Tote from Galison features the wonder and delight that can be found inside a bookstore.
Get your free in-store at Octavia Books on Small Business Saturday with a purchase of $100 or more.
