Jim Marshall's photographs of The Beatles' 1966 concert in San Francisco capture a historic convergence: one of the biggest names in music photography and one of the most beloved bands in history. Specially requested as photographer by The Beatles, Marshall immortalized not only the concert itself, but also intimate moments backstage, such as the musicians meeting the Baez sisters and hanging out in the locker room before the show.
This definitive collection presents the photographs at large scale and in the rich high-contrast tones Marshall favored. An in-depth essay by music historian Joel Selvin brings the moment to life. Whether you were there at Candlestick Park or wish you had been, this is your chance to see The Beatles as you've never seen them before.
EXCLUSIVE WINDOW INTO THE CONCERT: Jim Marshall was the only photographer allowed backstage to photograph The Beatles during the Candlestick Park concert. This book brings you into the historic moment and makes you feel like part of the band.

Sold outValet
For fans of Kevin Wilson and Andrew Sean Greer, a helper robot and his 35-year-old ward embark on a mad-cap adventure to save the fate of the family company in this whimsically speculative ode to Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster. Cy wants nothing more than to be useful, raise his utility score, and receive the next update for his operating system. But that's easier said than done when he's tasked with helping his owner's 35-year-old son "get out of his funk." Grayson is nothing like his go-getter, CEO sister Charlotte. He didn't inherit the family robotics company when their dad passed last year, he doesn't have a master's degree, and he just can't seem to figure out the San Francisco dating scene. He'd rather eat synthesized mozzarella sticks and make pottery at his studio, Kilning Time. When Grayson learns of Charlotte's plan to sell the company to a tech conglomerate, he panics. It's not just the family business at stake, it's all the technology--like Cy--their dad invented over the years. So he does what anyone would do: he steals the flash drive with his father's most important work stored on it and plans a corporate takeover. If only he knew what that meant. To make matters worse, a fellow VALET deserts his owner and asks Cy to help him hightail it out of town, Grayson's first real date--and her dog--keeping showing up at inopportune times, and the behemoth tech company wants this deal closed yesterday. Grayson, Cy, and their trusty golden retriever, Sasha III, must go on the lam until they figure out exactly what to do, and whom to trust. A hilarious, mad-cap adventure that is as tender as it is insightful, Valet asks not just what it means to be human, but what it means to be family.Sold out -

Presence: A Hidden History of the Female Body
A vibrant history of women's bodies, expertise, and work from a major new writer--stylish, revelatory, and liberating. Today, we understand the mind and the body to be distinct; that the mind exercises control over the flesh. But as Erin Maglaque experienced the transformations of pregnancy, abortion, birth, and care-giving, she began to doubt the truth of that dichotomy. In an effort to better understand her experiences, she found herself reaching to the premodern past, a period when the strange rubbed up against the strikingly recognizable: when people accepted both levitation and the smallpox vaccine, witchcraft and universal gravitation; a time when understandings of the body and its capacity for thought were more expansive, and more unruly. Structured as a biography of the author's own body, from girlhood and adolescence, to sex and abortion, to feeding and caring for an infant, to her experience caring for someone as they were dying, Erin places her personal history into a deep dialogue with the premodern past. She explores the relation between imagination and gender, between maternal and historical subjectivity; she positions female desire as a practice with a past, and offers gentler and more forgiving understandings of housekeeping, pregnancy, early miscarriage, abortion, birth, sleeplessness, and breastfeeding. For readers of Amia Srinivasan's The Right to Sex, Cat Bohannon's Eve, and Olivia Laing's Everybody, Presence is a unique experiment in historical thinking and embodied knowledge; a thoroughly researched, vibrant history of women's bodies, expertise, and work from a major new writer.Sold out -

Bust a Move: Matt Dike, Delicious Vinyl, and the Hip-Hop Hits That First Conquered Pop
The greatest untold story in the history of hip-hop, this is the first-ever complete account of the scene, street-savvy stars, and daring record label that launched West Coast hip-hop into the American mainstream and produced the hits that dominated the '80s and '90s--with previously unseen material, photos, and exclusive interviews. WITH A FOREWORD BY B-REAL OF CYPRESS HILL In 1987, hip-hop was at a tipping point: coastally, commercially, and creatively. New York City ruled the culture, while its hottest record label Def Jam was king. Yet out in LA, a new crew was ready to challenge for the crown, and their fresh spin would upend the industry as the decade reached its peak. Two Los Angeles dance club DJs, Matt Dike and Mike Ross, started their own independent label in Matt's cramped apartment on Santa Monica Boulevard and called it Delicious Vinyl. Hoping to press a few thousand records locally, they signed unknown rappers Tone Loc and Young MC, and after recording "Wild Thing," "Funky Cold Medina," and "Bust a Move," they soon sold nearly ten million copies worldwide. For a fleeting, shining time, aligned with a stunning series of collaborators, Matt Dike was the hottest music producer in the world. Iconic artist Jean-Michael Basquiat, director John Hughes, and the Beastie Boys all entered Matt's inner circle. Then, at the height of his success, Dike disappeared from the scene. Mysteriously, he cut himself loose from his closest friends, colleagues, and family. The life, career, and secrets of "the Howard Hughes of hip-hop" became the stuff of legend. Now, journalist Peter Relic unpacks the truth behind an exhilarating, never-before-told story of the city, the era, and the blazing creativity that changed the landscape of both rap and pop. Filled with unforgettable characters and drawing on dozens of exclusive interviews--including the only in-person sit-down with the enigmatic Matt Dike--Bust a Move is the answer to a mystery, and a celebration of a monumental musical legacy.Sold out -

Charlotte Perriand: The Modern Life
An affordable, concise survey on the influential modernist designer's interiors, buildings, furniture and more, from a sawtooth ski resort to sculptural chaises longues
From the onset of her career, Charlotte Perriand was a maverick who believed in good design as a force for the betterment of society. Many young designers would be devastated by a rejection from Le Corbusier's studio, but when the great architect told her they had no use for a female furniture designer, Perriand only became more determined to prove her mettle as an artist. Under Le Corbusier, and long after she left his studio, Perriand's contributions to both furniture design and architecture demonstrated a unique attention to the organic artistry of nature as well as the egalitarian possibilities of the machine age. Her leftwing populist politics motivated much of her work, from modular furniture systems to major architectural projects.
This monograph explores Perriand's most famous interiors, original furniture and architectural projects, as well as her never-before-seen sketchbooks, shedding new light on her creative process and place in design history. Charlotte Perriand (1903-99) experienced the first breakthrough in her career with Le Bar sous le toit, a 1927 interior design piece that predicted the elegant minimalism and utilitarian nature of her future work. Although today she is perhaps best known for her early chaise longue designs, Perriand also created the plans for a number of major buildings across Europe and contributed interior designs to Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation. She worked in places as diverse as Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and London in her pursuit of accessible design. -

V witnesses her mother map out her past through drawings, diagrams, and reclaimed histories of her brief time at Alvsdahl, an exclusive East Coast college. Here, legacies and heiresses claimed descent from Bluebeard or Cinderella, grappling for control over family stories that could grant them terrifying abilities or burn them to ash. An Asian girl with an unknown inheritance was no one--until her discoveries cracked open Alvsdahl's secrets. Sharon's rewritten narrative--of classroom rivalries, animal professors, debauchery in the woods, threatening Godmothers, and world-shattering powers--unfolds line by line as V desperately tries to help her mother, ultimately learning how to wield Sharon's story to transform them both. Lyrical and tender, Angela Mi Young Hur's The Loom Tree is a magical campus novel centering two young women walking the thorny path toward adulthood, the fractures between parents and their children, and the global mythologies connecting us all.Sold out -
Yves Saint Laurent Revolution: The Story of Le Smoking
Yves Saint Laurent was one of the most important figures in modern fashion. Recognized as a creative genius at a young age, he became Christian Dior's assistant at the age of seventeen and head designer at the age of twenty-one when Dior himself died. Later, Saint Laurent would go on to found his eponymous fashion house and dedicate himself to designing clothes for the modern woman which were both stylish and comfortable.
In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent shocked the fashion world by introducing a tuxedo for women, which he called "Le Smoking." Tuxedos had been exclusively the domain of male wearers and were originally designed to protect men's clothes from the smell of smoke.
This entertaining graphic novel tells the story of YSL's tuxedo for women and the colorful and rebellious women who initially wore it, particularly Betty Catroux, his lifelong muse. Taking the form of a dreamlike journey through New York City, it opens the world of Yves Saint Laurent to readers via encounters with such figures as Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, Christian Dior, and Paul Poiret, contrasting their styles with those of Yves Saint Laurent.
The story includes a wide range of models, artists, writers, and thinkers recounting how Saint Laurent's iconic garment initially scandalized and then spurred the evolution of modern women's fashion. The result is a compelling story for anyone interested in the history of fashion and the revolutionary style of Yves Saint Laurent.
