Book Description
This title is one in a series presenting four masterpieces by four immortal nineteenth-century French painters. Each miniature book faithfully reproduces its title painting on the front cover, and is packaged in a handsome slipcase that doubles as a picture frame. The frame can stand up on a desk or tabletop or be hung on the wall to display the book cover's striking painting. Each book's interior discusses its title painting, describing the artist's approach to his work, analyzing the picture's fine points, and showing close-up details from the painting. A final two-page spread presents a timeline capsule biography that lists significant events in the painter's life. Van Gogh--Starry Night shows and discusses Vincent Van Gogh's masterpiece, which is a mystically glowing nighttime landscape, and ranks today as one of the artist's most popular and beloved paintings.

Book Description
Alone on a wilderness trek in the New Mexico mountains, Lakota P.I. Howard Moon Deer meets a barefoot, half-crazed astrophysicist who claims he’s been abducted by a flying saucer and has just returned from the planet Klizmor in possession of an illusive equation from their advanced civilization: the Theory of Everything. Is he a madman or part of a clever fraud? He’s not just anyone, Howie soon discovers. He’s Dr. Grisha Bloom, a famous Nobel Prize winning physicist, and when he’s murdered Howie finds himself immersed in a dangerous world of UFO conspiracies, military secrets, and a group of cutthroat astronomers who are competing to claim credit for the discovery of a new subatomic particle, the Blue Moon Quark. BLUE MOON, the 6th Howard Moon Deer mystery, takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the dark side of New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb, where science and fakery converge, and huge government contracts dangle for those brilliant enough—or ruthless enough—to reach for the stars. "Fans of Hillerman will love this unique and quirky detective duo."—Leslie Glass, bestselling author of Tracking Time "Westbrook...possesses a masterful sense of narration."—The Washington Post Book World "A racy and readable writer."—The New York Times Book Review

Book Description
It was August, and the "Blue Moon" had come around - a phenomenon wherein two full moons appear in the same month. As a seventeen-year-old, I found myself in Arashiyama, Kyoto, at my grandmother's house for a somber funeral. It was on this solemn occasion that a peculiar encounter awaited me. Under the radiant light of the first full moon, I stumbled upon a mysterious sight. There before me was a young girl, gracefully using an umbrella to scoop water from a spring, her actions illuminated by the moon's ethereal glow. She said, "I'll be here until the Blue Moon ends," and despite our same ages, she had a mysterious aura about her, as if hiding a great secret. That secret was that “I've been waiting for you in the future." This is a love story stretching across time and space, depicting two people bound by fate.

Book Description
Set adrift when her mother sells the salon that has been a neighborhood institution for decades, Nora Rolvaag takes a camping trip, intending to do nothing more than roast marshmallows over an open fire and under a starry sky. Two chance encounters, however, will have enormous consequences, and her getaway turns out to be more of a retreat from her daily life than she ever imagined. But Nora is the do-or-die-trying daughter of Patty Jane, who now must embrace the House of Curl’s slogan: “Expect the Unexpected.” With her trademark wit and warmth, Lorna Landvik follows Nora and an ever-growing cast of characters between city and wooded retreat, Minnesota and Norway, a past that’s secret and a future that’s promising, but uncertain. Responding to a mysterious letter with a Norwegian postmark, Nora’s grandmother Ione travels to her native land to tend to a dying cousin and her husband—two people who played a painful, pivotal role in her past. Nora accompanies her and is surprised by her grandmother’s long-ago love story—but even more surprised by the beginning of her own. A book about making new beginnings out of old endings, Once in a Blue Moon Lodge invites readers to check in, set down their baggage, and spend time with the kind of people who understand that while they can’t control all that life throws at them, they can at least control how they catch it. And as anyone who has stopped in at Patty Jane’s House of Curl will tell you: you’re in for a rollicking good time with characters whose strengths, foibles, and choices will have you laughing and crying. Hankerings for coffee and gingerbread cookies may also be experienced.
