The USA Book: A Journey Through America, New Title
A gorgeous coffee table book on the United States of America and the newest addition to the bestselling Travel Book series, this stunning pictorial celebrates our country’s diversity with insightful observations and over 400 full-color photographs showcasing each state’s unique personality.

Napa & Sonoma Encounter, New Title
This guide to the best of California’s favorite wine regions whittles down the 750 wineries in the region into a list of 100-plus vinters of distinctive artisan wines that are seldom seen outside California, yet generate a whole lot of buzz. We’d like think that this book is the greenest guide on the market to Napa & Sonoma, not only cherry picking the organic and bio-dynamic wineries but the locavore and farm-to-table restaurants that really define the region’s flavor. We even give high priority to the “eco-boutiques” in our shopping listings, when items in a shop are locally and sustainably produced.
