Sunshine on Putty: The Golden Age of British Comedy, from Vic Reeves to the Office
In the 1990s, comedians seemed to dominate every sphere of Britain's cultural life. So perhaps it was fitting that in a decade when politics, sports, art, literature, and even religion threatened to become branches of light entertainment, the best British comedies--"The Office, The Day Today, The Fast Show, Shooting Stars, Father Ted, I'm Alan Partridge, The League of Gentlemen, The Royle Family--offered the clearest picture of what was happening to the country. This provocative, very funny book unearths the true twisted beauty of British comedy's psychic root system: from the stains on Caroline Aherne's sofa to Ricky Gervais' self-destructive love affair with dairy products. Ben Thompson writes for "THE INDEPENDENT, THE FACE, and "GQ.
Our Noise by Jeff Gomez, ISBN 0684800993
Craig is armed with a college degree that has so far brought him nothing, certain that something better is just around the corner but unable to encounter it. He's been cohabiting with Ashley since college, and is caught in the dilemma of whether to break up with her or give in to marriage. Meanwhile, Ashley's efforts to earn a graduate degree seem futile considering that her diploma has taken up residence under the sofa cushions. Stuck in dead-end jobs; weary of commercial, corporate, and parental influences; searching for their own identities; Ashley, Craig, and the other characters of Our Noise find refuge in the brash world of indie rock, thrift stores, coffee houses, zines, and cheap beers. There are Eileen, who ends up in Kitty, Virginia, by accident and forgets to leave, and the members of Bottlecap, Kitty's hometown band, trying to decide whether to sell out and go to the West Coast or continue in the life of a small band. Chipp and Randy start a zine as a way to get their blood...

Manet: 16 Art Stickers with Sticker by Edouard Manet, ISBN 0486413527
The dramatically direct approach employed by French painter Edouard Manet (1832-83) started a revolution in the art world and served as a source of inspiration to other artists, most notably the Impressionists. Manet's innovative artistic techniques are in full view in this delightful collection of 16 paintings spanning his career. Meticulously reproduced as full-color stickers, the works range from the early, controversial Olympia (1863) to the mature brilliance of A Bar at the Folies Bergere (1881). Also included are such masterworks as Carnations and Clematis in a Crystal Vase, Portrait of Irma Brunner, Argenteuil, In the Conservatory, The Balcony, Portrait of Mme. Manet on a Blue Sofa, and many more.

These High, Green Hills by Jan Karon, ISBN 0670869341
Jan Karon has created a town where we feel wonderfully at home. In Mitford, a village nestled in the hills of North Carolina, she shows us small-town life for what it really is: completely engrossing. And absolutely hilarious. In this irresistible third book of The Mitford Years series, Father Timothy Kavanagh is married to more than his lovable and eccentric Episcopal parishioners. He's also married to Cynthia, his vivacious and talented neighbor. Suddenly, the routine existence of a sixtysomething bachelor is out the window. How will they keep his sofa-sized dog at a safe distance from her arrogant, albeit famous, cat? Can he learn to love the old-Italian-villa look his wife is bent on giving the rectory? These concerns pale, however, beside the growing pains of Dooley Barlowe, the thrown-away boy whom the rector loves as his own son. Then, the poverty and violence of an area known as the Creek comes knocking at the rectory door. Clearly, being at home in Mitford has its challenges. And,...
