Publishers Group West 7 Tristram Shandy, playful and brilliant, as Sterne intended
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Laurence Sterne Introduction by Will Self
• Relevant to a contemporary audience, this classic looks and feels playful again • Features a new introduction by Will Self This new edition of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is the first book published by Visual Editions,a new London-based publisher of literary fiction and nonfiction who makes use of what it calls “visual writing.” It believes books should be as visually compelling as the stories they tell, and its tagline is “great looking stories.” Its first title, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, shows where the idea of “visual writing” originated. New life has been breathed into the classic: a shut door is a folded page, perspiration is pages of dotted spot varnish, and the marbled page is a moiré of black-and-white photographs (a nod to contemporary printing technologies, in the way that the marbled page was a result of technologies of the time). British author Will Self provides an introduction with the typically wonderful irreverence that Sterne himself would have loved. Laurence Sterne (1713–1768) self-published the first two volumes of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman in 1759. Sterne wrote a further seven volumes of the book over the next eight years. Will Self is a British author who has written several books, including Great Apes, Psychogeography, and, most recently, Walking to Hollywood. He lives in London.

Tree of Codes Jonathan Safran Foer
• The best-selling author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close ventures into unchartered literary territory • Features a different die-cut on every page and raises questions surrounding the future of the book Initially deemed impossible to make, Tree of Codes is a haunting story of an enormous last day of life — as one character’s life is chased to extinction, author Jonathan Safran Foer multi-layers the story with immense, anxious, at times disorientating imagery, crossing both a sense of time and place, making the story of one person’s last day everyone’s story. Inspired to exhume a new story from an existing text, Foer has taken his “favorite” book, The Street of Crocodiles by Polish- Jewish writer Bruno Schulz, and used it as a canvas, cutting into and out of the pages to arrive at an original new story told in Foer’s own acclaimed voice.
“[A]n extraordinary journey that activates the layers of time and space involved in the handling of a book and its heap of words. Jonathan Safran Foer deftly deploys sculptural means to craft a truly compelling story. In our world of screens, he welds narrative, materiality, and our reading experience into a book that remembers it actually has a body.” — Olafur Eliasson, artist Jonathan Safran Foer is the best-selling author of Everything Is Illuminated, Extremely Available Loud and Incredibly Close, and a work of nonfiction, Eating Animals.

For every possibility the machine closes, it seems to open several more, with varying degrees of plausibility. Over time the machine is reverse-engineered and duplicated. Eventually there are machines in every doctor’s office and in booths at the mall. People can pay someone or perhaps get it done for free, but the results are the same no matter which machine is used — they are, at least, consistent.

Publishers Group West 31 The plight of the great Southwestern Indian tribes as they lose their mainstay food source and then their land to the United States Cavalry
Honored Enemy Culver Modisette
• Author appearances at the 50th • In this novel, the experience of the tribes, the loss of their buffalo, and the Anniversary Celebration of the usurpation of their lands give pause to all Americans,young and old Arctic National Wildlife Reserve There are an estimated 3 million Native Americans in the United States in January 2011 • This historical novel adheres to the history of the Great Southwest in the late 1800s, a past shared by the Comanche, Kiowa, and Cheyenne tribes, as well as their adversaries, the United States Cavalry. Colonel Ranald Mackenzie’s Fourth Cavalry was pitted against Comanche war chief, Quanah Parker, and his Indian allies in a struggle for dominance in Texas,Kansas, and Oklahoma, as the whites recklessly squandered the vast buffalo herds.Written after extensive research, Honored Enemy sheds light on little-known events of the era, culminating in Parker’s friendship with President Theodore Roosevelt. Liberally illustrated by historic photographs, the book appeals to readers for enjoyment, as well as those who seek little-known history of the Southwest. Culver Modisette toiled for two decades as an advertising and public relations executive before opening an outdoor sports business devoted to ecology sports. He lives in Somers, CT.
