Workman Publishing Famous Last Words Fond Farewells Deathbed
Book Synopsis“Don’t let it end like this. Tell them I said something.”—Pancho Villa “Drink to me!”—Pablo Picasso A collection of notable last recorded words of the dying, Famous Last Words is bursting with life, hope, wisdom, and often laughter. Here are writers, philosophers, athletes, kings and queens, movie stars, politicians, and more, in all sorts of moods and states of preparedness. Some merely want to say goodbye to loved ones, others want to create a legacy. Ultimately, every one of these parting statements is a reflection of the person behind it. Each is accompanied by a mini-biography of the speaker, including the context of death, from the golf course (“That was a great game of golf, fellers.”—Bing Crosby) to a favorite armchair (“Go on, get out. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough.”—Karl Marx).

Book Synopsis In the years since we first published All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat , with over 2 million copies in print and the fastest-selling book in Workman’s history, one thing hasn’t changed—people are still starved for wisdom.

'Get mad when you''re stepped on.' Life lessons such as these and dozens of others propelled the book like a champagne cork to the top of The New York Times bestseller list. Now, to celebrate the book''s double-platinum milestone, there''s a new edition: the original book, in a fresh cover, plus 48 new pages, including the Are You a Cat Person? quiz. The cat, Binky, is perspicacious and profound; the artist, Suzy, is utterly delightful; and the combined effect is one of immense and irresistible charm. Every cat fancier will recognize

And for the cat owner willing to go the distance, the “There’s No Business Like Show Business”—practice your best Ethel Merman by belting out favorite show tunes for your cat.

Workman Publishing 1000 Unforgettable Senior Moments Of Which We
Book SynopsisThe president who left the nuclear launch codes in a suit at the dry cleaners. The novelist who put the orange juice outside and the kitten in the refrigerator.

Here’s a best man forgetting to show up at the wedding, a musician leaving his priceless cello in a cab, the bank robber who wrote a holdup note on a paycheck stub that had his name and address printed on it, and the Fox studio chief who, when pressed by his leading lady to remember her name, offered “. . .

Hamilton Books Liberating the Limerick 230 Irresistible Classics
Book SynopsisIn his introduction to Liberating the Limerick, Ernest Lefever, founding president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, says that many of the 230 irresistible classics in the book reflect facets of truth and virtue wrapped in the garments of irony and caricature. Contrary to the widespread myth, these verses lay bare the foibles of the human drama with wit and irony and without slithering into the gutter. The book is enriched by fifteen New Yorker cartoons. Read the recent Washington Times review.Trade ReviewA tireless man named Lefever With limericks did beaver and beaver, Producing a tome You'll want in your home It's delicious and deucedly cleever..... -- Christopher BuckleyIn an often uncharming era, Ernest Lefever has graciously revived one of the most charming word plays. -- Georgie Anne Geyer, author of Where Cats Reigned Like KingsAt last, a book that not only resurrects the limerick, but will give anyone fond of politics and social commentary something to laugh about again. -- Anne Applebaum, author of The Gulag: A HistoryReading these limericks will soon have you laughing out loud, and begging your friends, 'listen to this one!' -- Michael Novak, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

Because of the sheer fun and smarts of Mr. Lefever's selections, readers will return to the volume again and again...This is a book that most certainly contributes to our appreciation of serious literature. -- Carol Herman, The Washington TimesMy interest in limericks stems from my childhood when I ran about the house reciting Lear and making up verses of my own. While researching a book about limericks, I read more than 9,000 verses. The overwhelming majority embraced the seamy stereotype, but a small minority were wise, hilarious and often sexy without being obscene. Their authors addressed the range of human experience - from psychology and politics, to science and religion, to culture and the arts - with humor and wisdom. It became clear that limericks can transcend the naughty and serve as a vehicle for self-understanding, political wisdon and insight into religion, science and the arts. -- Ernest W.

Hamilton Books Good God And Other Follies
Book SynopsisGood God! (And Other Follies) takes a critical and satirical look at the wave of religiosity now sweeping the country. From faith-based initiatives to bans on stem cell research, from public postings of the Ten Commandments to attacks on evolution, American godliness has apparently never had it so good. Much of this behavior and even more of the God-talk accompanying it, whether fueled by passionate faith, cultural resentment, or political opportunism, is intellectually absurd. This book points out this absurdity and explores the underlying fallacies, contradictions and, at times, sheer nonsense that beset not only Christianity, but Judaism and Islam as well.Trade Review"No one now writing—not Gore Vidal, not Christopher Hitchens, absolutely no one— writes about religion with a wit more wicked than Peter Heinegg's.

What's in a Bloody Mary? I don't know. Is white wine the same thing as red wine? Beats me. Fortunately, Matthew Latkiewicz has written an accessible, responsible guide to the dark art of getting alcohol into your body. Thanks to him I can look forward to many happy years of boozing ahead of me." --David Rees, author of How To Sharpen Pencils "The success of Latkiewicz's satire lies in the disarming accuracy of his hilarious portrayal of American drinking customs; he plays with our repressed anxiety about alcohol like a cat torments its prey. Perhaps the only thing we suck at more than drinking, as the title of his handbook suggests, is opening up provocative dialogue about a host of situations in life where sobriety is less than ideal. Thankfully, we have Matthew to get the conversation started." --Jim Meehan, author of The PDT Cocktail Book

Running Press,U.S. Your Country Is Just Not That Into You
Book SynopsisWhy is your brother-in-law concerned about the Estate Tax? Why do millionaire news reporters get everything wrong? Why are blood-sucking teachers bankrupting America? Jimmy Dore, the comedy darling of America''s Progressive Left, answers all these questions and more! In this laugh-out-loud collection of essays that are both street-smart and informed, Jimmy sets out to discover what''s wrong. Crackling with caustic wit and insight, no aspect of American life is safe from Jimmy''s hilarious scrutiny. He gets to the heart of the issues: why Republicans should support gay marriage or why the President shouldn''t have Secret Security until the country has gun control, bringing clarity and hilarity to the incoherent noise of our punditocracy. This outrageously entertaining manifesto is an excellent resource for those who have survived long arguments during family dinners. And in a media environment dominated by corporate interests, Jimmy''s take-no-prisoners approach is fearless: going after both political parties, and all corners of mainstream news. A David against an army of Goliaths. Equal measures of silliness and spleen-venting, Your Country IsJust Not That Into You is the most oddly uplifting political book ofthe year.Trade Review"Jimmy Dore is: outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered, and a crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and free-thinkers in 21st century America. This book will anger you if you're a conservative and enrage you if you're a liberal. Enjoy!" --Patton Oswalt "Jimmy has written a book with a very funny title.
