Then why do some interior design firms thrive while others barely survive? The answer lies in one powerful little word: brand. More than a pretty logo, it involves telling the story of your distinct point of view—who you want to serve and why you do business, and it’s a process that happens from the inside out. This book bridges the gap between designer and design leader and shows pros how to define, value, and communicate their vision; find clients who are a fit; and master the art of being visible. Worksheets give designers the tools to learn these strategies and apply them to their work. It also includes candid conversations with design leaders such as Barbara Barry, Kelly Hoppen, Vicente Wolf, Christiane Lemieux, Rose Tarlow, Clodagh, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, and others. Kim Kuhteubl is an award-winning producer, writer, and Producer’s Guild of America member. She’s used the strategies in this book to boost the profile, media coverage, and profitability of interior design firms across North America. Follow her on Twitter @mebydesigntv.

Bailey • First comprehensive monograph of this world-famous mineral locality, documenting many specimens not seen before • Resolves longstanding nomenclature confusion about the black tourmaline • Six authors represent comprehensive skills to tackle this study on tourmaline and its accessory minerals Since its discovery by a teenager in 1859, thousands of specimens of lustrous black tourmaline crystals from Pierrepont, New York, have found their way into both museum and private mineral collections worldwide. Pierrepont is a classic American mineral locality and a popular site for field collecting, and the discovery of new collecting sites there in the past decade has only enhanced its importance. Yet no detailed scientific research has been published until now. The six authors represent a team with comprehensive skills to tackle this study, which covers the locality’s history, geology, and mineralogy. The origin of the mineralization, the true nature of the black tourmaline, and the extensive suite of accessory minerals are presented in detail. The authors also resolve identification questions about the tourmaline and its many accessory minerals. Dr. Steven C. Chamberlain has produced 380 scholarly articles, including five in Science or Nature. He has chaired the Rochester Mineralogical Symposium for 30 years and is coordinator of the Center for Mineralogy, New York State Museum.

Via nearly 400 colorful and fun images—including 300 postcards, home advertising, emblems, newspaper articles, memorabilia, and other items of interest—the novel point is made: the mobile home most assuredly deserves greater respect.

MacLean, U.S. Army Retired • The expedition was hoping to find the Lost Cabin Gold Mine; instead, they found Sitting Bull and his warriors • Documents three battles with Sitting Bull and Lakota/Northern Cheyenne Warriors • Day-by-day account of the expedition and its influence on the Little Bighorn campaign two years later This is the story of 150 of the most adventurous scouts, gold prospectors, gunslingers, buffalo hunters, and Civil War veterans of both sides—they may have been the deadliest collection of shooters to ever hit the trail. This is the most detailed work ever produced on the obscure legend of the 1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road Prospecting Expedition in the Montana Territory—the product of multi-year research across the country, and visits to the three battlefields and expedition route of over 500 miles; an event that impacted the Little Bighorn in 1876. Numerous legends of the West rode on the expedition, later playing roles in the Great Sioux War of 1876. Their adversaries now were the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne—some of the greatest light cavalry to ever gallop over the North American continent. And watching their every move were Sitting Bull, Gall, Hump, Crazy Horse, and a renegade chief named Inkpaduta, ready to strike. French MacLean is the author of twelve books on World War II, and two on the American West. In 2012, his work Custer’s Best: The Story of Company M, 7th Cavalry at the Little Bighorn received the Little Bighorn Association John M. Carroll Award.

From his humble beginnings as a poor Kentucky farm boy learning to play to taking the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, he ultimately gained the trust and confidence of two of America’s finest musicians, Jerry Reed and the incomparable Chet Atkins. Compiled from personal correspondence and interviews, Paul’s online posts, and family members, a lifetime in the music business is recounted, from breaking in with the Louvin Brothers in the 1950s to his 25-year association with “Mr. Guitar” Chet Atkins, to his last recording in 2006. Along the way, Paul provides a wealth of information and history about guitar modification, gear and gadgets, and the people and personalities of country music’s golden era in the second half of the 20th century. Norm Van Maastricht plays several instruments and has taught music. He has played many a saloon and music festival. Some years spent hiring bands in a nightclub gave added insight to working on “both sides of the mic” with a variety of musicians Size: 6" x 9" • 60 color and b/w photos • 304 pp. ISBN: 978-0-7643-5048-1 • hard cover • $24.99 FOR RELATED BOOKS SEE PAGE 66 • AVAILABLE IN AUGUST OTHER BOOKS YOU MAY ENJOY!

Japanese gestures are a world of their own, much the way the language and country are. In the Kansai region of Japan, people often use the term Maido as a greeting in business and sales, and as a send-off to a business’s best customers as if to say, “come again” or “thank you.” In this case, Maido is welcoming you to a world in which you don’t offend every Japanese person you meet. By learning a few simple gestures you can avoid making intercultural slip-ups and win the respect of locals. And who knows—maybe the next time you walk into the local izakaya (watering hole), you may be lucky enough to hear someone saying, “Maido! Maido!” to you. Raised in Japan on a US military base, Christy Colón Hasegawa was fascinated and at times entertained by how the gestures her father used didn’t always translate to her mom and the Japanese side of the family. She is a producer for advertising agency Sid Lee and lives in the Netherlands.

The Mai-Kai became the playground of celebrities and playboys, and the beautiful women working there used it as a jumping-off point for adventure and fame. Through first-hand stories and more than 400 images, this book documents the history, allure, and enduring legacy of the mid-twentieth-century Tiki era. Focusing on the period 1955 to 1971, it is the story of how the Mai-Kai and its iconic elements came to exist, and the men and women who shaped it and went on to shape the world. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Mai-Kai is the only place on earth that still serves the Rum Rhapsodies thatkicked off that indulgent era. Tim “Swanky” Glazner has been collecting and researching midcentury paraphernalia for decades. He has shared his knowledge in documentaries, articles, seminars, and other media.

Parked on small plots with their front facing the street, these tiny homes were made of surplus sheet metal using technology developed in aircraft factories during WWII. Each photo is taken from the same straightforward angle, creating a registry of variations on a theme. Over time, people remodeled, adding rooms, sometimes putting two homes together, creating facades with grills or patterns, or in some cases mini-variations of international styles usually found in more affluent neighborhoods. Many have unique creative touches that set them apart from the neighbors. Each photograph reflects on the nuanced details and expressive personalized touches of the trailer’s inhabitants. Jeffrey Milstein is a photographer, architect, graphic designer, and pilot. His photographs have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States and Europe. Born in Los Angeles, where he frequently returns to shoot, Milstein lives in Woodstock, New York.

Sarna, PhD • A photo essay of the little-known history of the first Jewish enclaves in the New World • Documents the oldest Jewish synagogues and cemeteries in the Western Hemisphere dating to the 1600s • Just five historic synagogues remain in use today throughout the Caribbean This photographic essay highlights the little-known history of the first Jewish communities established in the New World dating to the 1600s. Awardwinning photographer Wyatt Gallery documents the oldest synagogues and cemeteries on Barbados, Curacao, Jamaica, St. Thomas, St. Eustatius, and Suriname through his singular style of photos with histories written by Stanley Mirvis. The enclaves, formed by Sephardic Jews who fled the Catholic Inquisition, became so influential that they helped fuel the success of the American Revolution and partially finance the first synagogues in New York City and Newport, Rhode Island. Once home to thousands, today these historic communities are rapidly dwindling and could soon disappear. Only five historic synagogues remain in use, and many of the cemeteries have been damaged or lost to natural disasters, vandalism, and pollution. These photographs bear witness to the legacy of New World Judaism and provide a record for future generations. Wyatt Gallery is an award-winning American photographer and Fulbright Fellow whose work is in the permanent collection of numerous museums and corporate collections, and has been featured in Esquire, the New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, American Photo, and more.
