Pinocchio
By Winshluss
This award-winning graphic novel re-imagines Pinocchio as a wordless noir fairy tale, both comic and tragic.
In this dark rendition, a greedy Geppetto builds Pinocchio as a metallic weapon of war, with Jiminy Cockroach a homeless squatter living inside Pinocchio’s skull. Exquisite drawings bring to life a rich tale of greedy fools, lust, sadness, redemption, and hope. As the stories intertwine, they offer subtle political critiques and send-ups of popular culture through characters such as the seven sleazy dwarves.
Teamed with colorist Cizo, Winshluss creates an epic adventure through a lush world. The artwork is pen & ink + watercolor (with paint for larger splash panels). It references a wide range of illustrative styles and history, from the late 18th Century to French film pioneer Georges Méliès, early Disney, and underground comix. DARK, GRAPHIC NOVEL RETELLING critically acclaimed, Pinocchio won the Grand Prize at France’s Angoulême comics festival in 2009 for mature readers
Winshluss, the pen name of Vincent Parronnaud, is the creator of numerous comics and graphic novels that have garnered awards and acclaim across Europe. He is best-known as co-director of the animated film Persepolis (with Marjane Pinocchio Satrapi), which won the Jury Prize at Cannes and was nominated for numerous awards, ISBN: 978-0-86719-751-8 including the Academy Award, Golden Globe $29.95 | hardcover and Cannes’ Palm d’Or.

By Oscar Nilsson
Color the most classic and popular Lowrider models – Impalas, Cadillacs and Rivieras! The images in this terrific coloring book are of actual cars converted by masters of the art.
Lowrider culture originated in 1930s LA, where it became popular for style-conscious Latino-Americans to load their cars with sandbags to lower them closer to the road. When lowered cars were banned in the 1950s, it became necessary to find a way to raise and lower cars to avoid traffic tickets and impounds. The solution was to use hydraulics from old WWII fighter planes. The rapper Kid Frost showcased lowriding in the early 90s hit song Lowrider, and since then, the cars have been closely associated with hip hop culture. Today, lowriding is bigger than ever.

By Tim O’Donnell
“People need to connect, and for many, religion isn’t working. This spiritual longing is getting projected onto human relationships as people are looking for God in “other” before seeing “his” presence inside. This book is a beacon of light for those on this journey.” – Cindy Stanberry, Psychotherapist
If you are drawn to the divine, but labor over dogma, doctrine, and ritual, you will find support and a fresh perspective as O’Connell explores thorny issues on the spiritual path:
Are spirituality and religion the same thing? Is guilt a necessary part of the religious experience? Do the rules of religion actually bring us closer to God? Will open-minded inquiry help or hinder spiritual progress? Am I looking for God in the right places?
Candid, humorous, and at times controversial, O’Donnell takes us on a journey framed as memoir, which blossoms into an exploration of his own Catholic faith, delving into an array DOES RELIGION TRULY BRING BELIEVERS of subjects from celibacy in the priesthood CLOSER TO GOD? to the real purpose of prayer.

By Richard Westra
Connects the dots linking the 2008 meltdown – and over a decade of dress rehearsals for it – to a rigged global financial game that is unraveling the foundations of modernity.
This game is dollar seigniorage, which guarantees the US international dominance, even as it becomes the world’s top debtor economy. The US furnishes international money for the cost of running a printing press, while the rest of the world produces goods and services, competing to push wages to the bottom for access to those dollars. Consider:
Why, despite international investment outlets, is most global wealth impelled toward the Wall Street casino? Why is there a disconnect between global financial activities and the suffering real-world economy of production and trade? Why do governments inject trillions of dollars into stumbling financial sectors across the globe, yet fail to GLOBAL FINANCE: A RIGGED GAME create enough living-wage jobs?
Japan and China, among others, store the sur- pluses they amass in dollar-denominated sav- ings. US access to investment capital, through little substantive economic effort, under- pinned its explosive economic performance through the 1990s and into this century.

Learn the true identity of both the Devil and Lucifer, and how to harness the forces of nature to propel yourself towards a higher way of life.
Modern culture scoffs at the mere mention of the Devil and Hell, while simultaneously indulging deeply in them via popular music, movies, and television. Yet the practical reality of the Devil remains completely unknown.
Clearing away centuries of dogma, illogical beliefs and foolish theories, Samael Aun Weor discusses his personal, conscious experiences of the inferior worlds and the beings who reside there. By application of ancient tech- niques preserved by the Gnostic tradition, anyone can confirm with certainty what exists in the subtle dimensions of nature, whether above or below. Better yet, with these Gnostic techniques, any reader can subdue the force of inferior worlds and beings.

By Samdhong Rinpoche
A series of talks by a distinguished Tibetan scholar who is also Prime Minister of the Tibetan government in exile.
These sharp, perceptive talks were given to international students at The School of Wisdom at the Theosophical Society in Chennai, India.
The clean simplicity and unimposing nature of Tibetan Buddhist meditation comes alive through the words of this much-admired scholar. From the concepts of Samatha and Vipassana to the Noble Eightfold Path; from the objects and methods of concentration to the totality of perception – he succinctly and beautifully captures the essence of Tibetan meditation. His original thoughts as well as his prodding and questioning, challenge readers to find their own answers. Recounting his own deep experiences of meditation, he touches the unexplored realm within.
PRINCIPLES OF TIBETAN MEDITATION Samdhong Rinpoche, Venerable Professor, was born in Eastern Tibet and arrived in India with His Holiness the Dalai Lama when he went into exile. He is a distinguished Tibetan scholar, the first democratically elected Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in exile and the former Director of the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarnath, Varanasi.

Repurpose the spiritual aims of yoga by using one’s body as a spiritual temple during yoga practice.
Beyond the engagement with yoga as a strength- ening and centering practice, this is an instruc- tion manual for dedicating oneself to a life of the spirit, in and through the vehicle of the human body. With the freshness of memoir, Sell uses the story of her first visit to an extraordinary temple in southern India as a structure upon which to build this new understanding of basic yoga principles.
Aiming toward a higher sphere elevates one’s life, unsticking us from the habits of the ordi- nary mind. Instead of simply performing the yogic postures physically, Sell explains how to use exercise as prayer, affirmation, and an expression of remembrance. Written for any hatha yoga aspirant or practitioner, this is a vital, realistic book about the process of A NEW APPROACH TO YOGA human change and transformation.

By Lalitha Thomas
Spiritual practice is not something mysterious or alien to ordinary existence. It is not defined by difficult exercises or maintained by unruffled tranquility. Rather, it is clear-cut, if only we have the courage to choose it. We live in the hubbub of the world and must be prepared to find our spiritual center in daily life and squarely face the unconscious or destructive habits we’ve used since childhood to keep us comforted.
Thomas challenges and guides her readers to work with their denial mechanisms, and to pay attention to the body’s innate wisdom, which consistently signals us, yet which we consistently override. Our relationship to the Divine, to spirit, does not preclude a simple life based in human maturity, dignity and kindness toward others. Simple daily practice infuses one’s inner knowledge into the body, thus affecting one’s behavior on every level. A HANDBOOK FOR SUSTAINABLE Derived from recent talks, Lalitha’s message SPIRITUAL PRACTICE is fresh, accessible, and real, addressing messy relationships, greed and illness in the many anecdotes. Her core wisdom is that we can rest in unadorned everyday truth.
Lalitha Thomas is a spiritual teacher who lives in both Washington State and Canada. A disciple of Western Baul master Lee Lozowick for 30 years, she has extensive training as a master herbalist and healer, and has written Waking To Ordinary Life several respected books in the field, including 10 Essential Herbs and 10 Essential Foods.

“The writing is a joy, dancing nimbly between the erotic and the thriller. There will be many books this year, screaming for your attention, few will satisfy you on every level like this amazing book.” – Ken Bruen
A young Italian woman flees her Roman home for Paris and gets involved with the wrong man, an English crime writer down on his luck.
There is also a wrong woman, a stripper and killer-for-hire. As the paths of the three intersect, they move through New York, Paris, Barcelona, Tangiers, and Venice, then land in a small medieval town outside Rome.
These three characters in search of love, lust and redemption waltz with darkness. Poignant and mysterious, sexy, sad, breathless, this is a memorable tale of lost souls caught in a spider’s web of their own making.

In this futuristic literary fantasy, the city of Leiodare is unlike any other in the post-climate- change United States. Within its boundaries, birds are outlawed, and what was once a crater in Appalachia is now a tropical, glittering metropolis where Anna Armour is waiting.
An artist by passion, and a factory worker by trade, Anna is a woman of special gifts. She has chosen this beautiful, traumatized city to wait for the woman she’s lost, the one she believes can save her from her troubled past and uncertain future.
When, one night, Anna creates life out of thin air and desperation, no one is prepared for what comes next – not Lucine, a smooth- talking soothsayer, nor her brother Eugenio, a dangerous sweet-talker; not Seife, a star in the Leiodaran cosmos; nor Rory, a forefather of the city who has lived through outbreak, heartbreak, and scandal.

By Tony Fitzpatrick Introduction by Alex Kotlowitz
“Tony Fitzpatrick tells stories in the manner of his hero and friend, Studs Terkel, and I would gather that Studs is looking down on him with a big s--t grin on his face and having some great laughs.” – SteadyStyle Chicago
A new direction for this acclaimed artist, the contemporary voice of the worker. Here are both collages and corresponding essays. Part memoir, part urban narrative, part socio- political commentary, each piece is a deeply personal and intellectual contemplation of the broader American story. This is the culmina- tion of a two-year meditation on the ideas and experiences that bind us to this land, a treatise on America from the bottom up.
Tony Fitzpatrick is an artist, poet, and actor whose artwork is in NYC’s MOMA, the National Museum of American Art in Washington DC, the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. ART AND ESSAYS ON THE AMERICAN LAND He lives in Chicago.

By Thomas Jeppe
A collection of tattoos from the 1940s to the 70s, photographed in the 2000s in America, Europe and Australia.
These are the anachronistic aesthetics of living history, outside the ebb and flow of contem- porary trends. They are at a point which all tattoos promise to reach: a blurry embodi- ment of the passing of time, permanent relics from a time when tattooing meant something vastly different than what it means today. Fundamental, yet sovereign, from a time of absolute freedom and endless variation in tattoo culture, these images stand out for their bold and simple gestures.
Thomas Jeppe is a Melbourne-based artist and founder of Serps Press. He holds first class honors in Cultural Studies from the University of Melbourne and is the author of Home Made Tattoos Rule (Serps, 2006). His work has been published in numerous books and magazines, including Shoot (Rizzoli, REAL OLD SCHOOL STYLES 2009), and he has held exhibitions in Australia, Germany, Mexico and Japan.
