Spotlight on Lark Books: 500 Tables
“To an uneducated eye, many of the tables presented in “500 Tables: Inspiring Interpretations of Function and Style” look bizarre. Not every table is meant to hold a coffee cup, but each is a startling work of craftsmanship and art.”

Native American Wisdom
“…perhaps the first to acknowledge with such care the differing tribes and nations(Apache, Kiowa, Seneca, and so forth ) from which its excerpts come. Giving observant readers the sense not only of shared traditions but of differences among tribal beliefs. Highly recommended.”

The Love Pirate and the Bandit's Son:
Murder, Sin, and Scandal in the Shadow of Jesse James
“…a remarkable…compelling story of greed. [Author Laura James] does an excellent job of transporting us back to the early years of the twentieth century and of introducing Zeo, a cold, calculating woman who seems to have finally gotten what she deserved at the hands of a cold, calculating man. A top-flight true-crime story.”
