Welcome to Kitschmasland in a fun and nostalgic look at our infatuation with Christmas holiday decor from the 1950s and through the 1970s. This beautiful revised book covers the gamut of decorations - some whimsical, some beautiful - and a treasure trove of campy kitsch that the author calls "Kitschmas!" Join a magical tour of retro homes decked out for the holidays, and enjoy a variety of festive holiday decorations from our not-too-distant past. Featuring vintage Christmas ornaments, trees, ceramics, and more, over 400 color photos and vintage magazine images are used to illustrate this whimsical journey through some of our favorite decades. This book is a delight for Kitschmas fans, decorators, and the thousands of people devoted to mid-century decor and design.

"Guide for the Modern Bear" is a pop culture-inspired hybrid guide to the gay Bear community and its characters, as well as a fun, sexy, and hip travel guide focused on the bear lifestyle and modernist community in fourteen cities across the USA and Europe. Written by Travis Smith and Chris Bale, the book was inspired by the grassroots growth of their popular Facebook page. Their self-published, first edition sold 1,000 copies in just a few months and led to a publishing deal for Modern Bear Media. 14 Chapters focus on 12 different major US cities plus Barcelona and London, including fun maps of the Bear and Modernist Hot Spots. Points of interest include restaurants, bars, gyms, lodging, shopping, Mid-Century Modern architecture and neighborhoods. The book features colorful pop-art inspired art direction by Jason Hill, photography by Leland Gebhardt, and a detailed tongue-in-cheek glossary to the Bear World.
