Amy Krouse Rosenthal: Putting All Her Books Under a Yellow Umbrella

By Bridget Kinsella | 05/17/2010 @ 12:00AM

May 24—staying on for weeks and re-emerging later in the summer.
Penguin Books Hits 75

By Lynn Andriani | 05/17/2010 @ 12:00AM

In 1935, Allen Lane, who was working at U.K. publisher The Bodley Head, published the first Penguin paperbacks. There were 10 of them, including A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway and The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. They cost sixpence each. "I think that when he started, people thought he was pretty bonkers," said Penguin Books president and publisher Kathryn Court of Lane, who died in 1970. Selling affordable, quality paperbacks in venues such as railway stations and newsstands was unheard of in the 1930s.

What's Cooking: Fisherwomen and Food Styling

| 05/10/2010 @ 12:00AM

Move over, Linda Greenlaw: there are some new fisherwomen in town. Kiyo Marsh, Tomi Marsh, and Laura Cooper are commercial fisherwomen in Alaska, and have written a cookbook about the challenges involved in making dinner in 30-foot seas. This issue of Cooking the Books features an interview with two of the authors, in which they divulge some of their tricks (bungee cords come in handy) and favorite recipes (they love Jade Dumplings made with salmon, cilantro, scallions and white pepper). Elsewhere in the newsletter, there's a report on a new book about food styling and food photography from a master of the genre, a rundown of the James Beard Award winners, and lots of cookbook deals. Please sign up for Cooking the Books (it's free!) here.
