The Native Trees of Canada
- Leanne Shapton 
Trade paperback
$24.95
Reader Reward Price: $22.46
A new edition of the artist's bold reinterpretation of a century-old book
With a foreword by Sheila Heti, Leanne Shapton's cult art book inspired by a government textbook is back in print with a gorgeous new cover.
While shopping in the used-book store the Monkey's Paw in Toronto, Leanne Shapton happened upon a 1956 edition of the stalwart reference book The Native Trees of Canada, originally published in 1917 by the Canadian Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources. Most people might simply view the book as a dry cataloging of a banal subject; Shapton, however, saw beauty in the technical details and was inspired to create her own interpretation of The Native Trees of Canada.
Shapton distills each image into its simplest form, using vivid colors in lush ink and house paint. She takes the otherwise complex objects of trees, pinecones, and seeds and strips them down into bold, almost abstract shapes and colors: the water birch is represented as two pulsating red bulbs contrasted against a gray backdrop; the eastern white pine is represented by a close-up of its cone against a radiant summer sky.
The author of Guest Book; Toys Talking; Sunday Night Movies; Swimming Studies; Was She Pretty? and Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry, Shapton puts forth yet another entirely new facet of her creative artistry.

A woman in therapy is haunted by disturbing visions; a lonely widower feels a presence wafting through her house; a little boy sees bright red lights flash across the night sky. Vivid dreams, poignant symbols, fleeting sensations -- all clues that point to an understanding of what lies beyond.

Paying for It
- Chester Brown
Trade paperback
$29.95
Reader Reward Price: $26.96
The critically lauded memoir about being a john is now a major motion picture!
Paying for It was the most talked-about and controversial graphic novel of 2011, a critical success so innovative and complex that it received two rave reviews in The New York Times. Chester Brown's eloquent, spare artwork stands out in this new paperback edition, tied to the release of the film adaptation co-written and directed by Sook-Yin Lee, Brown's longtime friend and the director of Year of the Carnivore and Octavio is Dead!
Paying for It offers an entirely unvarnished exploration of sex work through Brown's own life story, showing him as a timid john who rides his bike to his escorts, wonders how to tip so as not to offend, and reads Dan Savage for advice. The book demystifies an experience that is so often sensationalized, revealing a world of online reviews, seemingly willing participants, and clean apartments devoid of clichéd street corners, drugs, or pimps. In it, Brown combines the personal and sexual aspects of his autobiographical work (I Never Liked You, The Playboy) with the polemical drive of Louis Riel, as he explores one of the most hotly debated issues in the world and advocates for the importance of legalizing sex work.
Now with an introduction by Lee, expanded notes discussing the film adaptation, movie stills and behind the scenes shots, as well as a new cover by Brown and artwork that he created for the production, Paying for It: The Film Edition is an unmissable edition for fans of Brown and film-making alike.

Processing

Trade paperback
$34.95
Reader Reward Price: $31.46
Riotous bodies abound in these deeply honest comics that will get you through it (or at least help)
"When you order CBD gummies for your anxiety but forget to consider your eating disorder."
Known for her buzzing colors, delightful patterns, sharp humor, and unflinching vulnerability, Tara Booth does not miss any mark in this exquisitely woven collection of pure and nasty magic. Part advice column and exhibit, exploration of psychic pollution and tranquility, Processing is--quite simply--intrepid: in its honesty; its unapologetic grossness; its unrivaled and frank portrayal of life with a body that bleeds.
In the grand tradition of underground women cartoonists like Julie Doucet and Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Booth draws a horned up woman laying rose petals on the bed, to distract from the bedbugs before her hookup arrives. She bears witness to the reality of wearing a t-shirt with no bra--when you stretch, your boobs, sometimes, pop right out. This is all just life but we don't often see it on the page. Undaunted, Booth draws it.
When advice from spiritual gurus like Tara Brach and Ram Dass just aren't cutting it, take solace in the genuine arms of Tara Booth: a fearless cartoonist who is unafraid to put her existential angst, blemishes, and stains right on the page, and who--with relentless relatability--makes us all feel a bit more at home in our too-human vessels. With color that vibrates and fluids that impose, Processing lays Booth bare--literally and figuratively.
Q&A

Reader Reward Price: $20.66
Everything you wanted to know about storytelling or Adrian Tomine but were too afraid to ask
"That would've been too easy and spontaneous for me, and I had to find a way to make everything more complicated."
And yet for over thirty years, bestselling author, screenwriter, and New Yorker cover artist Adrian Tomine's work has set the standard for contemporary storytelling. With Tomine, his readership has grown from the dedicated following of his comic-book series Optic Nerve to include a wider but still engaged, opinionated, and ever-inquiring public. And now, for the first time in print, Tomine responds to his readers directly, tackling their questions and comments with generosity, humor, and vulnerability.
Q&A is one part personal history, one part masterclass in crafting quality entertainment. With questions pulled from his time at the Substack Writers' Residency, and with additional, new material, Q&A is an indispensable addition to the collections of eagle-eyed fans and aspiring artists, writers, and cartoonists alike.
Tomine answers questions about his preferred tools, his creative process, the ups and downs of adaptation, and perhaps most importantly--how to pronounce his last name. Illustrated with drafts, outtakes, and photos from the artist's personal collection, this rare peek into the mind of a contemporary cartooning giant lays out the method to his meticulous brand of madness. The artist looks back on his career in response to queries from his--maybe adoring but mostly curious--public with his signature dry wit and unflinching, self-deprecating honesty.
