Many women would say that the notion of "clueless men" is as redundant as "cold snow" or "expensive yacht." If that's true, then men everywhere stand to benefit from the clever and lighthearted advice within Chicks Dig Fries: A Guide for Clueless Men. After years of trial-and-error dating, author Bob Mathews shares his hard-fought wisdom in this illustrated guide to what women want most from men. Each tip or insight is paired with comical and quirky illustrations of the things that "chicks dig" most. * Chicks Dig Fries: With honey-mustard or plain old ketchup on the side-doesn't matter. * Chicks Dig Cats: Why? Who knows? They just do. If you despise the wretched creature (the cat, I mean) try to be mean to it only when she's not looking. * Chicks Dig Guys Who Can Play a Musical Instrument: Show her your "artistic" side, even if you suck. * Chicks Dig the Opposite of What We Think: Stop whatever it is you're doing, because whatever it is, it's probably wrong. * Chicks Dig a Guy Who's Nice to Her Friends and Family: Even if you're faking it. (See "Chicks Dig Cats.") For any man who doesn't get the big deal about potpourri; has ever thought, even for a split second, that a woman might want an appliance as a birthday gift; or who believes a "scone" is some kind of hard doughnut, Chicks Dig Fries offers all the help he needs.

With whimsical illustrations by Paulette Bogan, Aaron Reynolds has created a hilarious picture book about one rooster's quest for culinary delight. What happens at Nuthatcher Farm when the chickens get tired of the same old chicken feed? The rooster hatches a plan, of course! With a pinch of genius, a dash of resourcefulness, and a little pilfering from the farmer's garden, the chickens whip up a scrumptious snack of chips and salsa. When the rest of the barnyard gets a whiff of the spicy smells and want to join in, it can mean only one thing . . . FIESTA! But when the big day arrives, all their spicy southwestern supplies are gone! It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Nuthatcher have caught on to the flavor craze as well, and the only thing left for the animals to do is to try a new culinary style-ooh la la!

Before achieving critical acclaim as a novelist, David Markson paid the rent by writing several crime novels, including two featuring the private detective Harry Fannin. Together here in one volume, these works are now available to a new generation of readers. In Epitaph for a Tramp, Fannin isn't called out to investigate a murder — it happens on his doorstop. In the sweltering heat of a New York August night, he answers the buzzer at his door to find his promiscuous ex–wife dying from a knife wound. To find her killer, Fannin plies his trade with classic hard–boiled aplomb. In the second novel, Epitaph for a Dead Beat, Fannin finds himself knee–deep in murder among the beatniks and bohemians of the early 1960s, where blood seems to flow as readily as cheap Chianti. Intricately plotted and rife with wisecracks, David Markson offers suspenseful and literary crime novels.

Dave ‘Bad News’ Barnes is a deputy sheriff who has transferred from the busy atmosphere of Las Vegas to a tranquil town in northeast Washington. On an autumn morning he responds to a call of an animal mutilation near Hoodoo Mountain. Later he is informed by another deputy, who is Native American, that the killer may be a supernatural creature thought to be a little-known mythical creature. This may explain the area’s history of missing people, or it may be just a bedtime story. Thus begins the tale of a deputy, the town’s occupants, and how they become involved over time as the nights become dark earlier and the months grow cold, and people and their pets begin going missing... again. As October moves into November and then December, the snow begins to cover up clues. As the mystery deepens, so does the body count. Deputy Barnes keeps track of the citizenry and searches for clues, real and otherwise, that offer possible solutions as to what is happening to the people and pets in the city and the outlying areas. A tough and energetic female deputy adds to the intrigue and suspense as she just might be the one person who can unravel and close this case – for good.
