Whether you go wall-to-wall or simply select a few mood-setting accents, this exquisitely photographed idea book will inspire the French country designer within. Pull together a bedroom with a jaunty Provencal fabric, furnish the dining area with handsomely carved antique pieces, or warm up a sterile space with charmingly rugged architectural details. Use decorative touches from wrought iron fixtures to rich color schemes, to infuse every type of room--living room, kitchen, bath, even the patio-with earthy, romantic appeal. Charming details help keep the country feel and capture the quaint, rustic flavor of traditional French rural life, even in the most modern American home. The result: a look that's elegant yet succeeds in staying cozy and comfortable, too.
The Man Behind the Miracle: The Story of Alfred Boeddeker, O.F.M. by Madeline Hartmann, ISBN 1882897404
The Man Behind the Miracle is the life story of Father Alfred Boeddeker, humanitarian, theologian, poet and writer. Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by former President Ronald Reagan, Father Alfred served his fellow men and women without regard for race, religion or station in life. In San Francisco, he founded the St. Anthony Dining Room, which has served 27 million meals to the hungry, and the St. Anthony Clinic, which has given free medical care for forty years. For his dedication to safe housing and other services for seniors, Father Alfred has been called "the greatest advocate for the elderly in America". St. Anthony Farm has provided drug and alcohol rehabilitation for more than nine thousand people. Father Alfred's generosity of spirit embraced the entire world, and his legacy of selfless devotion remains a beacon of hope that continues to light the world.

Chelsea Hotel Manhattan
Joe Ambrose stayed at the Chelsea Hotel, home to many famous authors, artists, and outlaws down the years. Andy Warhol shot Chelsea Girls there, and welsh poet Dylan Thomas died there, having reputedly inspired the young Zimmerman to change his name to Bob Dylan.
Every room at the Chelsea tells its own story-not unlike The Overlook in Stephen King's The Shining. Sid Vicious met his death in one room, an episode recounted in detail by Rockets Redglare.
This is the first factual book on the building and features conversations with William S. Burroughs, Paul Bowles, Gerard Malanga, Victor Bockris, and others.
Solomon the Rusty Nail by William Steig, ISBN 0374469032
Here, in the great tradition of Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and Caleb and Kate, is another
tale of magical transformation from William Steig. Its hero, young Solomon, is an ordinary
rabbit--well, ordinary in every respect but one. Whenever he scratches his nose and wiggles
his toes at exactly the same time, he turns into a rusty nail. To turn back into a rabbit, all he has
to do is thing: "I'm no nail, I'm a rabbit!"
This unusual talent enables Solomon to play some gratifying practical jokes, but it also leads to serious trouble when he's waylaid by a one-eyed cat who plans to turn him into Hasenpfeffer. Solomon promptly becomes a rusty nail and steadfastly refuses to change back, even after Ambrose, the cat, and his wife, Clorinda, lock him up in a cage in their guest room. Sooner or later, they figure, they'll be dining no bunny stew.
