This one-of-a-kind sticker book is filled with amazing works of abstract art. Kids can place the reusable vinyl stickers of eyes, fins, teeth, tentacles, and more onto the enclosed 'Friend Finder,' and move it around the artwork to find the right place for each sticker.

Dead Mountain: The True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident

Eichar, 2013

In February 1959, a group of nine hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died in a mysterious fashion on the eastern side of an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident — unsettling and unexplained causes of death, a strange final photograph by one of the hikers and signs of radioactivity — have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers' own journals and photographs (many translated and reproduced in the book); unseen government records; and dozens of interviews, including with the only surviving hiker; and the author's retracing the hikers' fateful journey.

Accompanying them are first-person reflections from each of the comedians on life and laughter that always cut straight to the heart of comedy: it's funny because it's true. Page after sidesplitting page in Comic Genius offers prose as engaging as each portrait is memorable. Here, in one handsome package, is the gift of laughter itself. Подробнее

The Art of Ratatouille explores the artistic vision upon which the film was built with fascinating concept art, including storyboards, full-colour pastels, pencil sketches, maquettes, and more. Extensive quotes from the artists and production team and a foreword by director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) bring the art to life.
