Celebrate the 10th anniversary of a groundbreaking book on creativity with this limited anniversary hardcover, with a new afterword, color endpapers pulled from Austin Kleon's sketchbooks, and a ribbon marker.
Ten years after its initial publication, the message of Steal Like an Artist remains powerful: embrace influence, follow interests wherever they take us, forget old clichés like writing about what you know--instead, write the book that you want to read, make the movie you want to watch.

This 10th anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author, discussing the book's influence and how "stealing" has been misunderstood, and offering a unique, personal perspective on a book that's touched so many.

Architecture at the Heart of the Home
Increasingly, domestic architecture has sought to enhance everyday life by providing resonant settings that reflect the human need for comfort, safety and connection. A house has walls and ceilings, and perhaps a garden, but beyond that, there is always that one part of a home that becomes a place of belonging, around which people gather.
Architecture at the Heart of the Home showcases those special places and features that make a residence unique. Of course, there are kitchen and dining areas, but a home's heart can also be the physical link between the interior and the exterior, a view, a particular room, or even an architectural feature: a pool that reflects the sky overhead, windows that frame a panoramic vista, or a building's position in the landscape.
The projects in this book are not necessarily grand in scale, but all reveal extraordinary settings that fill the heart with joy and the soul with happiness - the places where memories are made.

Seven Days to the Funeral
Autofikční román z temného období po sovětské invazi v roce 1968 nastoluje otázky o individuální a společenské paměti, traumatu a vině. Autor a jeho žena Zora Jesenská byli významnými osobnostmi slovenského kulturního života a jako tváře uvolnění 60. let byli posrpnovým režimem ostrakizováni. Pohřeb Z. Jesenské v roce 1972 se stal politickou událostí a jeho účastníci čelili exemplárním perzekucím. Kniha je detailním popisem týdne po manželčině smrti a historickým záznamem o ničivých dopadech začátku normalizace. Rozner píše s krutou upřímností nejen o sobě, svých emocích a zkušenostech z minulosti, ale i o klíčových osobnostech slovenského veřejného života. Zároveň vypráví dojemný milostný příběh nepravděpodobného páru. Kniha byla poprvé vydána až několik let po autorově smrti, v roce 2009, a vyvolala na Slovensku vlnu diskuzí. Anglický překlad je doprovozen doslovem I. Taranenkové a osobní překladatelskou poznámkou/vzpomínkou J. Sherwood.
