Thomas Allen: Uncovered
In this darkly delightful first monograph--also a board book--Thomas Allen selects the pulpiest of pulp paperbacks and then lovingly slices out a figure from the cover, gently folds it into position and constructs a witty and oftentimes suggestive scene around it. In "Thirst," a sultry dame reaches from her cover toward a guy with a bottle on a nearby volume; in "Teeter," a man careens toward the edge of a stack of paperbacks, ready to topple. Dogs howl; ships sail; punches fly.Inspired by a love of pop-up books, Hollywood noir, westerns and pulp fiction, Allen revels in the different roles he must play to create his scenarios: "In addition to being a photographer, I play talent scout, casting director, stage manager, lighting supervisor and film editor." Once his original tableaux are perfectly composed, he photographs them in shallow focus, rendering his prints with the dreamy effect of the classic View-Master stereoscopic toy, which has been a long-time inspiration. From femmes fatales to hard-boiled gumshoes, Allen's newly enlivened characters seem to burst from the hefty boards of this almost toylike book, apparently unable to contain themselves. Uncovered includes an introduction by Chip Kidd, one of the most innovative graphic designers working today. Kidd has used Allen's work in many cover designs, including a series of James Ellroy novels..

Sex and the City Uncovered: Exposing the Emptiness and Healing the Hurt
Hookups, hangovers, and heartbreak
Popular TV series Sex and the City features four stylish New York women frequenting bars and talking bluntly about their broad range of sexual experiences Awards lavished on the show suggest some redeeming values. But despite claims that it’s ultimately about the longing for a committed relationship, the glamorization of casual sex and so on can really mess with impressionable young women.
Just ask Marian Jordan. In Sex and the City Uncovered she admits, "A painful existence of ‘looking for love in all the wrong places’ is hidden behind images of couture fashion, witty dialogue, and beautiful people. I know this to be true because I’ve lived it."
Sharing her own storied past, Marian now celebrates an unfailing love she has found and helps struggling singles find this same joy by answering questions such as:
• Why can’t I have sex without regret or desiring commitment?
• Why do I need alcohol or food to make me feel better?
• Why do I go into debt to buy the latest designer items?
• Why don’t I feel good about myself around other women? Endorsements
"An honest, engaging, and hopeful response to the dating dilemma. A must-read for every searching single!" —Louie Giglio, director of Passion Conferences "Marian does a fabulous job of exposing culture-generated lies about the endless pursuit of love and worth in a language that will resonate with young women today." —Vicki Courtney, best-selling author and founder of Virtuous Reality Ministries "Marian’s transparency and insights will be life-changing to women." —Cliff Young, lead vocalist, Caedmon’s Call .
