See You in the Funny Papers: The Rich Tradition of St. Louis Cartooning
By Dan Martin
9781933370279
softcover, 10 x 7
128 pages
$19.95
St. Louis is a funny town. Cartoonwise, that is. Different theories abound, but
the Gateway to the West has been unusually starcrossed with some of the most talented
and famous cartoonists this country has ever produced. The range is extraordinary—from
the legendary Joseph Keppler in the 1870s to the present-day graphic novelists.
The old and young will be able to learn something new, from the historically obscure
foundations, to the legendary Robert Minor, Al Frueh, or Harry Tuthill, and to today’s
popular Blondie or Mother Goose and Grim. All of the artists included have either
been born in, lived in, and worked in the St. Louis region. This book will reconnect
St. Louisans, locally and nationally, to their contribution to the art of cartooning.

Baking: Christmas Reflections and Bread Recipes
By Fr. Dominic Garramone, O.S.B.
978-1-933370-05-7
paper, 5 x 7
96 pages

baking traditions to scripture and shows that holiday preparations can seem less
like drudgery if we can see the purpose behind them. Did you know that the French
meal fougasse represents the genealogy of Jesus or that two very different Christmas
breads—the traditional German stollen and the more recent Saint Bede tradition
of “Bambino Bread”—represent the Christ Child in swaddling clothes?
’Tis the Season to be Baking imparts such wisdom as it takes bakers, holiday
traditionalists, and Father Dominic fans beyond bread yet again.

Vienna’s Conscience: Close-ups
and Conversations After Hitler
By Richard Winter, Susan Winter Balk, and Gregory Weeks
978-1-933370-08-8
cloth, 7 x 9-1/2
128 pages
$27.00
After more than half a century, the Anschluss still resonates in Vienna. On March
12, 1938, the Austrian capitol welcomed Hitler’s Nazis with open arms. The
effects were immediate. Within days, tens of thousands of people were arrested and
the city’s 180,000-plus Jews—10 percent of the city’s population—soon
were placed in concentration camps. In Vienna’s Conscience, the late Richard
Winter, a Viennese Jew who escaped to America in 1938, relates the complexity of
modern Vienna through interviews and images, with assistance from his wife Susan
Winter Balk. Beneath the beauty of the city’s grandiose architecture lies
conflict within the population as it comes to grip with its past. Winter depicts
this conflict through insightful interviews and striking images. The resulting portraits
resonate beyond their pages.

Winning out of the gate always boosts confidence and momentum. The effect increases
tenfold when the event happens to be the World’s Greatest Race. At the Daytona
500 on February 15, 2004, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., starred on racing’s biggest
stage and won an event that his father conquered only six years prior. Earnhardt
used a third-position start to battle at the front early. He stayed in the top 5
throughout the first 100 laps, which kept the #8 Chevrolet out of a nasty wreck
one-third of the way into the race. In 2nd place late, the #8 car used a quick pit
stop to hang with leader Tony Stewart before making a sweeping pass with 19 laps
to go. The victory charged up the driver, who celebrated by spinning out on the
infield grass; Dad had done the same after winning in 1998.
