1. Abbott, Megan DNRBURY ME DEEP (June 2009) (Simon and Schuster) Fiction

PAPERBACK

Edgar® Award-winner Megan Abbott re-imagines Phoenix 1931 – scene of the notorious “Trunk Murders” – in a new novel about jealousy, illicit sex, shifting loyalties, and the dark side of desire. In October 1931, two large trunks were found abandoned in Los Angeles’s Union Station. They appeared to be leaking. What was found inside ignited one of the most notorious tabloid sensations of the decade. At the story’s center was a lovely young doctor’s wife -- caught up in a deadly love triangle -- who was coerced by the married man she and her two best friends adored, into accompanying trunks containing the dismembered bodies of the two women from Phoenix to Los Angeles by train. Inspired by this notorious true crime from the tail end of the Jazz Age and filled with suspense and intrigue, BURY ME DEEP is a story of an accused murderess trapped by circumstance of gender, class, and, most of all, the blindness of passion. Megan Abbott is the Edgar®-winning author of QUEENPIN. Her first two novels, THE SONG IS YOU and DIE A LITTLE, were both Edgar® nominees .

3. Beattie, Melody CFTHE NEW CODEPENDENCY (December 2008) (Simon and Schuster) Non-fiction

In her first major work in decades, Melody Beattie offers up a follow-up to the publishing phenomenonthat was the massive bestseller CODEPENDENT NO MORE, a book that established Melody Beattie as a pioneering voice in self-help literature and sold more than 8 million copies worldwide. Through the years, she has become a household name in addiction and recovery circles, and has continued to invite readers into her life with many more books—each punctuated with her trademark candor and intuitive wisdom. In this new book, Beattie provides insights on radical societal changes that have changed codependent behavior, identifying a new generation whose codependency manifests itself through continued taking and entitlement rather than the inability to stop giving, and shows readers how to get back into their lives by choosing behaviors that work for them. Beattie provides a series of tests to help the reader assess his or her codependent behavior, guiding and reassuring them that they can take care of themselves, no matter what they are going through.

Chandler, Charlotte RBSHE ALWAYS KNEW HOW: MAE WEST, A Personal Biography Non-fiction (February 2009) (Simon & Schuster)

The acclaimed biographer of Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Ingrid Bergman and other stars profiles one of Hollywood's most colorful and celebrated actresses, Mae West. Mae West was doubly famous: she was a sex symbol and a comedian whose one-liners were as clever as anyone's. She was the #1 box-office attraction in Hollywood for several years, and although she always played a type, she played it to perfection. She was a performer from childhood and debuted on Broadway in a play she wrote entitled “Sex” which was a success until it was raided for immorality and Mae was jailed for ten days. Her first starring role in Hollywood was in 1932 when she played opposite George Raft and every picture she made in the 1930s was a box-office success. She made two films with Cary Grant, helping to launch his career. Charlotte Chandler recorded Mae West over a period of roughly a month toward the end of the star's life. She was still as vital and lively as ever, and this book will convey all of Mae West's legendaryattitude. The book includes 40 black-and-white photographs.

17. Dylan, Bob with Photographs by Barry Feinstein SHHOLLYWOOD FOTO-RHETORIC: The Lost Manuscript Non-fiction (November 2008) (Simon and Schuster)

Bob Dylan's newly rediscovered manuscript of early poetry, inspired by the Hollywood photographs of legendary lensman Barry Feinstein, is a never-before-published illustrated collection of the observations and ruminations of a pop culture legend. Inspired by a series of photographs that Feinstein took in Hollywood during the 1950s and 1960s, Dylan wrote an extraordinary series of poems that have remained unpublished for decades. They are thought-provoking, witty, and erudite observations of the world and through the lens of Feinstein's photographs, they speak volumes about the anonymous faces and places of Los Angeles. Photos of Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland float through the book, as do poignant images of starlets, casting couches, employment agencies, and palm tree'd boulevards. Feinstein was there with a camera to capture some world-famous events, such as Marilyn Monroe's memorial service. Bob Dylan's distinctly unique perspective informs and enlivens every page, an irresistible interpretive voice narrating the visual images from photo to photo. The book, with an estimated 160 pages, will have a larger format to showcase approximately 70-75 black-and-white photographs printed with a four-color process.

18. Faye, Lyndsay KJKDUST AND SHADOW: An Account of the Ripper Killings Fiction By Dr. John H. Watson (April 2009) (Simon and Schuster)

Breathless and painstakingly researched, a stunning debut mystery in which Sherlock Holmes unmasks Jack the Ripper. Lyndsay Faye perfectly captures all the color and syntax of Doyle's distinctive 19th century London. In DUST AND SHADOW, Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack the Ripper – the world’s first serial killer -- with impeccably accurate historical detail and without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling. Sherlock's desire to stop the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in an effort to do so he hires an "unfortunate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel attempting to catch the villain, and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the crimes, he must use all his resources in a desperate race to find the man known as "The Knife" before it is too late. Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson,this debut signals the arrival of a tremendous talent in the mystery and historical fiction genres.

19. Fisher, Carrie KJKWISHFUL DRINKING (December 2008) (Simon and Schuster) Non-fiction

An uproarious and sobering look at Carrie Fisher’s Hollywood hangover in the screenplay of WISHFUL DRINKING, which Entertainment Weekly declared, “drolly hysterical” and the LA Times called a “Beverly Hills yard sale of juicy anecdotes.” In WISHFUL DRINKING, Carrie Fisher tells the true and intoxicating story of her life with inimitable wit. Born to celebrity parents, she was picked to play a princess in a little movie called “Star Wars” when only 19 years old. Aside from a demanding career and her role as a single mother, Carrie also spends her free time battling addiction, weathering the wild ride of manic depression and lounging around various mental institutions. It’s an incredible tale -- from having Elizabeth Taylor as a stepmother, to marrying (and divorcing) Paul Simon; from having the father of her daughter leave her for a man, to ultimately waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed. “Wishful Drinking,” the one-woman show, made its debut at Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse, where Carrie enjoyed an extended run from November 2006 into February 2007. She then went on to perform at Berkeley Repertory Theatre for a limited 7 week run that was also then extended. And now, she will go on to perform the show in San Jose, Santa Fe, Hartford, Boston and Washington, D.C. All signs lead to a Broadway bow in 2009. The book includes black-and-white photos throughout.

26. Guinn, Jeff RPLGO DOWN TOGETHER: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde Non-fiction (May 2009) (Simon and Schuster)

The true, untold story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow -- Depression-eracelebrities during a two-year (1932-1934) reign of terror, told with cinematic flair by the pre-eminent authority on the two. They were among the most inept criminals in American history who botched almost every bank robbery they attempted. Yet, thanks to the media and a Depression-weary public’s hunger for entertainment, Bonnie and Clyde became international icons on par with cinema gangsters Jimmy Cagney and Edward G. Robinson. Much of the material in the book has never appeared in print. Guinn draws from unpublished manuscripts by Clyde's mother and sister, Bonnie's poetry, and interviews with everyone still living who has direct knowledge of Bonnie and Clyde and the events of their lives. The book also includes family photos supplied by the gangsters' last living relatives. Publication will coincide with the 75th anniversary (May 23, 2009) of the ambush in which Bonnie and Clyde were killed, and with the summer 2009 release of “Public Enemies,” a major motion picture about 1930s gangsters starring Johnny Depp. Guinn is the bestselling author of the three books in "The Christmas Chronicles" and an award-winning journalist. The book will include a 16-page black-and-which photo insert.

For readers of WATERSHIP DOWN and THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR comes THE WOLF CHRONICLES -- a stunning debut trilogy that draws on research into the co-evolution of dogs and humans to tell the story of how wolves became dogs -- from the wolf's point of view. The first book of the series, PROMISE OF THE WOLVES, begins 14,000 years ago in the land that is now Southern Europe, and follows the life of Kaala, a young she-wolf who discovers that she is destined to draw wolves and humans together. The story is told in parallel with the legend of the ancient wolf who brought the two clans together for the first time, with dire results. Book 2, JOURNEY OF THE WOLVES, follows Kaala and her combined wolf-human pack as they try to find a way to keep wolves and humans together, and as they discover that the solution is for wolves to give up their wildness and become dogs. Book 3, SPIRIT OF THE WOLVES, reveals that while dogs are our last chance to love something other than ourselves and once again become parts of nature, we must make the final choice to accept their sacrifice and their message.

32. Kinsley, Michael PPCREATIVE CAPITALISM (December 2008) (Simon and Schuster) Non-fiction

A provocative book of essays edited by one of American’s most respected essayists on the most interesting idea of the moment by the most successful businessman of the late 20th century: Michael Kinsley on Bill Gates’ idea of how to reinvent capitalism. Bill Gates argued in his major speech of the year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that many of the world's problems are too big for private philanthropy -- even on the scale of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation -- and the solutions must come from free-market capitalism itself. He called it "creative capitalism." Gates and several other giants of global business engage this argument in a defining, groundbreaking book that will be edited by Michael Kinsley and published in time for the Annual World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2009. Kinsley will include contributions from some of the world’s most respected economists and business executives including Warren Buffet, Larry Summers and Laura Tyson. In addition, Buffett is interviewed with Bill Gates on the subject for a discussion that will appear in the book with very brief running commentary. Kinsley was one of the most successful editors of The New Republic magazine, was the co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire” and founded Slate, the nation’s first online magazine.

34. Levy, Andrew SHA BRAIN WIDER THAN THE SKY: A Migrane Diary (May 2009) Non-fiction (Simon and Schuster)

In the vein of Joan Didion’s THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING, this extraordinary book is an evocative personal story of the author’s suffering from migraines and a cultural overview of its incurable condition. Levy experienced sporadic migraine pain since he was a young child. A couple years ago, at the age of 43, he was suddenly plunged into a 4-month nightmare of daily, debilitating migraines. Practically bedridden, he was forced to face his illness in ways he'd never before; the observations and eventual rehabilitation, as well as his perceptive research on the history of migraine and its sufferers, is the basis for a wholly fresh and provocative look at migraines. He kept careful track of what caused the acute pain he felt and his constant, obsessive attempts to calibrate his lifestyle to avoid the headaches. He researched the personalities and artists throughout history who have also suffered: Emily Dickinson, Alexander Pope, Nietszche, Virginia Woolf, and even Elvis. Levy writes about the personal obsession a migraine sufferer develops and weaves a compelling narrative into a very personal story. Andrew Levy is the bestselling author of THE FIRST EMANCIPATOR.

35. Livio, Mario RBIS GOD IS A MATHEMATICIAN? (January 2009) Non-fiction (Simon and Schuster)

A lively and provocative examination of mathematics that poses the question that if mathematics is an abstract construction of the human mind, why does it so perfectly explain the physical world --and why does it so accurately predict the physical world that we are still discovering? Mario Livio examines this question through the lives of the great mathematicians of history and their discoveries. Throughout the book the emphasis is on how the various mathematicians made their discoveries irrespective of any possible practical application. And yet in every instance, these mathematical discoveries did have practical applications, advancing various fields of science -- and in some cases, disciplines outside the sciences -- substantially. The book offers a fresh and original discussion of topics ranging from physics to cosmology to religion to cognitive science. Mario Livio is the acclaimed author of THE EQUATION THAT COULDN’T BE SOLVED and THE GOLDEN RATIO. The book will include over 100 black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Containing approximately 150 codes, the book includes such rules as a Bro never admits familiarity with a Broadway show or musical, a Bro is always entitled to do something stupid -- as long as the rest of his Bros are all doing it; a Bro never willingly relinquishes possession of a remote control; and a Bro doesn’t listen to chick music…in front of other Bros. Sidebars include helpful tips as Emails for any Broccasion; Pre-Strip Club Checklist; and How To Handle Fake Breasts. The character Barney Stinson works at a corporation, and regularly “suits up” to help his lovelorn and altogether pathetic bro Ted Mosby. Basically the coolest dude ever, Barney Stinson has been compared to the Fonz. Stinson appears weekly on the hit CBS show “How I Met Your Mother” with his friends Ted, Robin, Lily and Marshall. Matt Kuhn is a staff writer for the CBS hit show “How I Met Your Mother” and helps write Barney’s Blog on the show’s website. The book includes black-and-white illustrations throughout.

47. Stockton, Shreve MSRTHE DAILY COYOTE: A Year With Charlie (December 2008) Non-fiction (Simon and Schuster)

For readers of MARLEY AND ME and stemming from her popular blog of the same name, THE DAILY COYOTE follow the author as she raises and domesticates her coyote, Charlie, over the course of his first year. Shreve Stockton, a former San Francisco urbanite, never intended to adopt a coyote who are known to be wild and dangerous. But when her boyfriend delivered the orphaned coyote cub to her one day, a cub who fit in the pocket of her coat, it was the beginning of a love affair. Shreve documents their relationship in the first year of Charlie’s life through the ups and downs – hiding Charlie from passersby, defending him to townspeople; nursing him back to health; and watching him grow from cub to adolescent in the span of one year. Her daily blog and brilliant photography chronicled Charlie’s growth and the blog was nominated for a Weblog of the year. The book explores the cub’s first year and the bond between animal and owner. The lessons Charlie teaches Shreve – about nature, and about love, and about life – are remarkable and moving and will appeal to readers of all ages. The book will include 30 four-color photographs throughout.

A richly illustrated gift book for anyone who has ever loved an old dog, by nationally syndicated columnist Gene Weingarten and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Michael Williamson. The memories that people have of dogs they have loved and lost are almost always of the animal in his final years.

But the old dog has character and dignity while being resolute, canny, noble, funny, and sweetly vulnerable. OLD DOGS is a portrait book featuring 64 classic black and white photographs of sweet old dogs. With their stories -- sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and sometimes uplifting -- told by Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post, the old dogs featured in this book will captivate any dog lover.

53. Reyn, Irina AAPWHAT HAPPENED TO ANNA K (August 2008) Fiction (Touchstone) HARDCOVER

A debut novel that retells the tragic story of ANNA KARENINA, setting it in present-day New York City and amongst a community of Russian-Jewish immigrants. Beautiful, vivacious 36-year-old Anna K is comfortably married to Alex, an older, prominent businessman in her tight-knit Russian immigrant community in Queens.

54. Silver, Marisa DNRTHE GOD OF WAR (April 2008) Fiction

“Marisa Silver's THE GOD OF WAR is a novel of great metaphorical depth and beauty. It stays with you like a lesson well and truly learned.” (Richard Russo, author of EMPIRE FALLS). Kirkus (starred review) calls it “A stunning second novel…. Finely wrought characters and an illuminating portrait of the secret world of autism makes for a powerful, often tragic tale.” A piercingly beautiful story of two brothers that has echoes of WHAT’S EATING GILBERT GRAPE and WHITE OLEANDER by the acclaimed author of BABE IN PARADISE: Stories, which was a New York Times Notable Book, and the novel NO DIRECTION HOME. Marisa Silver is a regular contributor to The New Yorker, and The Atlantic Monthly has observed, “When it comes to the small moments – the frustrations and regrets of daily living – Silver’s work is powerful and heartfelt, and nowhere more than in the relationships she depicts between parents and children, which she traces with savage grace.”
