Known as the "voice and conscience" of San Francisco, Herb Caen once wrote of his "Baghdad by the Bay": "The crowded garages and the empty old buildings above them, the half-filled nightclubs and the overfilled apartment houses, the saloons and the skies and the families huddled in the basements, the Third Street panhandlers begging for handouts in front of pawn shops filled with treasured trinkets, the great bridges and the rattle-trap street cars, the traffic that keeps moving although it has no place to go, thousands of newcomers glorying in the sights and sounds of a city they suddenly decided to love instead of leave." Only in San Francisco.

An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller! A Publishers Weekly Bestseller! Leading actor, producer and director Channing Tatum's picture book debut, The One and Only Sparkella is a charming ode to self-esteem and the love between a father and daughter—illustrated by Kim Barnes. Ella is excited for her first day at a new school. Glimmering pencil case? Check! Shimmering backpack? Check! Glittery ribbons in her hair? Check! She can't wait to meet the other kids and share her sparkly personality. But her first day doesn't go quite as planned: Her new classmates don't like her disco-ball shoes, her PB&J-with-sprinkles sandwich, or her rainbow-y unicorn painting. Ella decides to try to be less sparkly at school the next day so the other kids won't make fun of her. But with a little help from her dad, she soon learns the importance of just being herself, no matter what other people say.

On a blind date in Greenwich Village set up by Allen Ginsberg, Joyce Johnson (then Joyce Glassman) met Jack Kerouac in January 1957, nine months before he became famous overnight with the publication of On the Road. She was an adventurous, independent-minded twenty-one-year-old; Kerouac was already running on empty at thirty-five. This unique book, containing the many letters the two of them wrote to each other, reveals a surprisingly tender side of Kerouac. It also shares the vivid and unusual perspective of what it meant to be young, Beat, and a woman in the Cold War fifties. Reflecting on those tumultuous years, Johnson seamlessly interweaves letters and commentary, bringing to life her love affair with one of American letters' most fascinating and enigmatic figures.

You may be thinking, "OK, what makes a Marketing Savage so different?" Although you'll need to read the entire book to fully understand the possibilities behind the formula, I will give you an overview of what you're getting into. I feel like we're about to enter the matrix together and you're being asked if you want the red or the blue pill. At this point, you can go back to your normal existence getting the same results and living the same life, or you can dig deeper into these pages and challenge everything you've ever been taught. This is where I'll warn you, some of my methods are extremely unconventional, you've never consumed anything exactly like I'm about to teach you. I'm going to challenge your worldview and suggest changes that will radically alter your perception of everything. I'll say this again, this is not another book on marketing, this is a way of life. I will not dumb down teachings, and trust me you'll likely want to consume this knowledge over and over again, so these principles sink in. I've studied hundreds of books on marketing, and I feel the critical path to success has purposely been left out. Most books on marketing are mainly surface level, meant to be consumed by a 5th grader. I understand why it's been so simplified; everyone needs to start with training wheels, but that is not this book. Unfortunately, it is a lot harder to find information on how to get rid of the training wheels and move onto a more advanced level of marketing, so I'm giving you that here. On my journey to find something more, I had to draw this knowledge I'm about to teach you from deep inside my own soul. You will walk with a different set of rules, you'll enter into a new kingdom. My friends, this is not about how I would change the world, but the way you will change the world. What I'm going to teach you is not about becoming good, it's about becoming great.

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and 'roads' scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Behind the fake Tudor façade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy travelling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.
