Robert Ludlum's Bestselling Covert-One
Simon’s Cat JUST by Simon Tofi eld Added! The feline Internet phenomenon makes his way onto the page in this fi rst-ever book based on the popular animated series. Based on Simon Tofi eld’s animations that have taken YouTube by storm, SIMON’S CAT depicts and exaggerates the hilarious relationship between a man and his cat. The daily escapades of this adorable pet, which always involve demanding more food, and his exasperated but doting owner, come to life through simple black-and-white line drawings. With a huge fan following that is growing even larger by the day, SIMON’S CAT is set to become a major new comic creation. • Simon Tofi eld’s three short Simon’s Cat animations have received 21.9 million hits on YouTube in less than a year! • As seen by the success of the # 1 New York Times bestseller Dewey (GCP 2008), books about cats and their relationships with their owners are hugely popular with readers. • SIMON’S CAT will appeal to fans of I Can Has Cheezburger?, a feline-focused Web site that became a New York Times bestselling book (Gotham, 2008). • Simon’s Cat has won a number of awards, including YouTube’s Blockbuster Award and Best Comedy at the British Animation Awards.

Black Elk, or Heȟáka Sápa (1863-1950), was an Oglala Lakota vision- ary and healer whose messages about the unity of humanity and Earth were conveyed by John G. Neihardt in the book Black Elk Speaks. At age 9, Black Elk had his Great Vision on Black Elk Peak (then called Harney Peak), the highest natural point in South Dakota and the Black Hills, which many Lakota consider to be the center of the world. The cover photograph was taken by Neihardt in 1931 when Black Elk returned to the peak to pray. Photo courtesy of the John G. Neihardt Trust.
