Alberto Pinto: Classics $16.2 With an international clientele-among whom may be numbered royalty, giants of industry, and leaders of state-it is no wonder that interior designer and decorator of renown Alberto Pinto feels himself best suited to the shadows-albeit the shadows of the great. From this privileged position he subtly shapes lifestyles and, to a certain extent, the images of princes. In Alberto Pinto: Classics, author Philippe Renaud offers us an intimate glimpse of Pinto’s world-a world of exquisite luxury and opulence, a world in which, by Pinto’s hand, elegance and abundance are brought to balance in harmonious accord. We are shown the lush interiors of apartments in New York, mansions in Paris, villas on the Riviera, country houses in England, and palaces in Cairo. We are also brought to a ranch in the deserts of New Mexico and to the ocean-side hills of the Long Island Hamptons. In evidence throughout is Pinto’s cultivated but decidedly eclectic approach to design-perhaps, in part, an indirect result of his having grown up in post-colonial Casablanca. His roots are Moroccan-under the certain influence of Paris. Of course, his work is more than this: it is an amalgam of British chic, French elegance, and American rationalism; it is a manipulation of classical styles with a twist; it is frequently a daring tendency to juxtaposition and apparent paradox in which a surrealistic painting by Magritte might hang below a Neoclassical bust-all of this ultimately resounding in an affirmation of Alberto Pinto as interior designer and decorator extraordinaire. Author Biography: Philippe Renaud, author of Mon nounours a des bobos, has written many books on the decorative arts, including the monographs Hilton McConnico, Philippe Starck, Garouste and Bonetti. He has also written on color, flowers, and antique toys. William Wheeler, the book’s translator, has written and translated numerous books on gardening and the decorative arts. Previously for Rizzoli, he

Animated Features Released by Focus Features: Coraline $8.69 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Coraline is a 2009 Oscar-nominated American stop-motion 3-D horror-fantasy film based on Neil Gaiman’s 2002 novel of the same name. It was produced by Laika and distributed by Focus Features. Written and directed by Henry Selick, it was released widely in US theaters on February 6, 2009, after a world premiere at the Portland International Film Festival. The film made $16.85 million during opening weekend, ranking third at the box office. As of September 2009, the film has grossed over $120 million worldwide. Coraline Jones moves from Pontiac, Michigan with her mother and father to the Pink Palace Apartments in Oregon, an old house subdivided into three residences. The other two apartments are inhabited by retired actresses Misses Spink and Forcible, and the eccentric Russian acrobat Mr. Bobinsky. With her parents frantically preparing a gardening catalog, and paying little attention to her, Coraline begins to feel neglected. While exploring the grounds, she meets Wybie Lovat, the talkative grandson of the landlady. Back in the house, Coraline finds a oddly small door that has been wallpapered over. She gets her mother to unlock it, only to find a brick wall behind it. That night, Coraline is awakened by the sound of a mouse and follows it to the small door. She discovers that the brick wall has disappeared, replaced by a long corridor to another door. At the other end, Coraline finds herself in the “Other World,” which is inhabited by her “Other Mother” and “Other Father”, doppelgängers of her parents except for having black buttons in place of eyes. In sharp contrast to her real parents, the Others are attentive to Coraline. She decides to stay the night in the Other World, but when she awakes the next morning, she finds herself back in he… More:

Fresh Food from Small Spaces: The Square Inch Garden’s Guide to Year Round Growing, Fermenting, and Sprouting $24.95 Books on container gardening have been wildly popular with urban and suburban readers, but until now, there has been no comprehensive “how-to” guide for growing fresh food in the absence of open land. Fresh Food from Small Spaces fills the gap as a practical, comprehensive, and downright fun guide to growing food in small spaces. It provides readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to produce their own fresh vegetables, mushrooms, sprouts, and fermented foods as well as to raise bees and chickens—all without reliance on energy-intensive systems like indoor lighting and hydroponics.Readers will learn how to transform their balconies and windowsills into productive vegetable gardens, their countertops and storage lockers into commercial-quality sprout and mushroom farms, and their outside nooks and crannies into whatever they can imagine, including sustainable nurseries for honeybees and chickens. Free space for the city gardener might be no more than a cramped patio, balcony, rooftop, windowsill, hanging rafter, dark cabinet, garage, or storage area, but no space is too small or too dark to raise food.With this book as a guide, people living in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, and single-family homes will be able to grow up to 20 percent of their own fresh food using a combination of traditional gardening methods and space-saving techniques such as reflected lighting and container “terracing.” Those with access to yards can produce even more.Author R. J. Ruppenthal worked on an organic vegetable farm in his youth, but his expertise in urban and indoor gardening has been hard-won through years of trial-and-error experience. In the small city homes where he haslived, often with no more than a balcony, windowsill, and countertop for gardening, Ruppenthal and his family have been able to eat at least some homegrown food 365 days per year. In an era of declining resources and environmental disruption, Ruppenthal shows that even urban dwellers can
