Among the highlights of our Spring 2016 list are many books that will fuel the
creativity of people who are passionate about food and drink — and about
sharing their enthusiasm with others!
Food Swap (page 5) offers a mouthwatering collection of recipes for making
artisanal foods to give, share, and barter, along with an inside look at the formal
food swap events that are popping up worldwide and guidance on how to join
this exciting community-based movement.
For seafood lovers and cooks eager to expand their repertoire of techniques,
Fresh Fish (page 6) provides a deep dive into the fabulous flavors that
best-selling cookbook author Jennifer Trainer Thompson serves for family and friends
gathered at her coastal table.
And anyone with a passion for beer will be entertained — and enlightened — by
The Beer Geek Handbook (page 10). With self-deprecating humor, author Patrick
Dawson reveals just how far the craft beer obsession can go and invites others
to join him on this journey into geekdom.
I hope you enjoy sharing these books with your community.

Body into Balance
MARIA NOËL GROVES
An antacid may soothe the symptoms of indigestion, but it doesn’t cure the root
cause. Chronic conditions such as indigestion can be clues to a deeper imbalance
in the body, and learning to read those clues is an empowering step in supporting
optimal health.
Body into Balance is a comprehensive home health guide to understanding how
each body system optimally functions and how to use herbal remedies safely and
effectively to restore any lost vitality. For each system — respiratory, digestive,
immune, nervous, memory, reproductive, and more — herbalist Maria Noël
Groves offers key insights into the sources of imbalance and explains how herbs
work to support and nourish each system.
With an emphasis on using herbal medicine as part of any holistic preventive
self-care program, Body into Balance includes in-depth instruction on how to select
herbs, step-by-step photographs for preparing herbal formulas at home, and
guidance on using commercially available preparations most effectively.

The Beer Geek Handbook
PATRICK DAWSON
To a beer geek, beer is not simply something to drink, but a lifestyle. Just as
tennis players would never consider their sport simply exercise or sports-car
buffs wouldn’t view a Ferrari as mere transportation, beer geeks see beer not as
a means to get drunk, but as something to be analyzed, researched, discussed,
photographed, cataloged, then, finally, consumed.
In The Beer Geek Handbook, Patrick Dawson outlines with humor and savvy the finer
points of what it means to be a beer geek (but never a beer snob). With sections
such as The Ten Beer Geek Commandments and Beer Geek Hall of Fame, as well
as guidance on flawlessly pulling off a beer tasting and gracefully correcting an
uninformed bartender, Dawson offers the inside scoop on what’s cool and what’s
not in beer, breweries, personalities, and behavior.
Illustrated with clever graphics, The Beer Geek Handbook is the perfect gift for
anyone devoted to living a beer-centric life.
Patrick Dawson
is an award-winning beer writer, an avid homebrewer, a beer judge, and a general lover of all things beer. He is the author of Vintage Beer, is a columnist for Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine, and has written for DRAFT, Zymurgy,

In Dishing Up Minnesota, food writer Teresa Marrone has collected 150 of the best

Learn to Timber Frame
WILL BEEMER
The art of traditional timber framing continues to attract new generations of
builders and admirers. The elegant simplicity and craftsmanship that make timber
frame structures so appealing, however, are dependent on mastering a particular
set of skills and tools.
In Learn to Timber Frame, veteran builder and educator Will Beemer offers the first
guide written specifically for the beginner, along with detailed building plans for a
12 x 16 structure — a manageable size for someone just learning the craft, but large
enough to serve as a useful cabin, workshop, or studio. Readers will learn what
makes timber framing distinctive from modern “stick” framing, how to acquire and
use local lumber, the basics of timber-frame engineering, and proper handling of
the necessary tools.
With full-color photos and instructive diagrams that illuminate every step of
preparing and cutting the timbers and capture the excitement of the raising of the
frame, Learn to Timber Frame is sure to inspire builders and dreamers alike.
Will Beemer
is a founding member of the Timber Framers Guild (tfguild.org). He has been a builder for more than 40 years, and he and his wife own and operate the Heartwood School for the Homebuilding Crafts in Washington, Massachusetts (heartwoodschool .com).

Cable Left, Cable Right
JUDITH DURANT
Knitted cables, with their three-dimensional twists and turns, are an iconic part of
many knitting traditions — such as the classic fisherman’s sweater — as well as a
popular contemporary design element for commercially manufactured garments
and home dec items.
While loving the look of them, many knitters think cables are beyond their reach
because knitting patterns don’t offer detailed directions on how to execute them.
Cable Left, Cable Right demystifies the knitted cable with in-depth instructions
for creating 94 different styles, from plain to fancy. Dozens of up close photos
demonstrate the techniques as well as design options such as braids, diamonds,
pretzels, and even reversible. This is a true stitch dictionary for cable lovers.
Packaged in a take-along, spiral-binding format, Cable Left, Cable Right is the perfect
problem-solving companion for knitters of all levels, whether they're just starting
out or are more experienced and are seeking the confidence and knowledge to
design their own.

For the thousands of passionate knitters who relish every aspect of their craft,

the yarn. She leads knitters through every step of yarn construction, with detailed
step-by-step photos showing how to select the fiber — be it wool, cotton, synthetic,
or silk — establish a foundation, and achieve the desired structure, texture, and
color patterning.
In addition to spinning instructions, Moreno features 12 original patterns from
leading knitwear designers that showcase handspun yarns. From the fleece braid
to the finished sweater, this richly photographed book is a treasure for knitters who

Natural Hair Coloring
CHRISTINE SHAHIN
While the vast majority of American women color their hair, many of them
have reservations about using chemical-laden dyes that are also expensive to
maintain, at an average cost of $80 a month.
In Natural Hair Coloring, cosmetologist Christine Shahin shows how to create rich,
natural-looking colors using nontoxic plant pigments. Henna, the most well-known
herbal colorant, has been used on hair and in body art for thousands of years, but
its applications have been limited to shades of red — until now. By combining
henna with three other plant pigments — indigo, amla, and cassia — Shahin makes
it possible to achieve shades of brown, black, red, and even blonde.
Readily available and affordable, the pigments can be reapplied as often as desired,
are effective in covering gray hair, and can even be used in combination with
chemical dyes. With step-by-step photographs, Natural Hair Coloring guides
readers in easy application methods for achieving stunning results.

Grow a Little Fruit Tree
ann ralph
With Ann Ralph’s radical, yet simple, pruning technique and easy maintenance plan, any full-size variety of fruit tree can be kept small while still producing full-size fruit in abundance! The book examines how to select and plant the best varieties for their climate and tastes, whether it be apples, apricots, cherries, figs, nectarines, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, or pomegranates. With small trees, every task is easier, from pruning and care to har-vesting the fruit.
