Zandra Rhodes discusses and signs Zandra Rhodes: 50 Fabulous Years in Fashion
Zandra Rhodes provides a luscious documentary of this leading British designer, spanning her 50-year career in fashion and textile design. The book showcases not only Rhodes's work but also her vivid personality and creative energy. Both a fashion trailblazer and a consummate textile designer, she has influenced the work of contemporary labels such as Mary Katrantzou and Alice Temperley. The book honors the centrality of textile design in Rhodes's work, while exploring the versatility of her imagination throughout her long career; contributors include Pierpaolo Piccioli (creative director of Valentino), Suzy Menkes (editor of Vogue International), and celebrated fashion designers Anna Sui and Rajeev Sethi. It also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the house of Zandra Rhodes, a British-owned and -made brand, and Rhodes's successful establishment of the Fashion and Textile Museum in London.

Jacqueline King & Abbie Cornish present and sign Pescan: A Feel Good Cookbook
Actress Abbie Cornish and chef Jacqueline King are best friends who bonded over their love of food and self-care. A few years ago, Abbie, a novice cook, asked Jacqueline, a graduate of the culinary program at the National Gourmet Institute, for cooking lessons. Every Sunday, they would take trips to the local farmers' market, spend all day cooking, and then serve these dishes to their family and friends. Pescan is an extension of this tradition and all the food they explored together. Their way of eating--which they call pescan--is centered on plant-based, dairy-free dishes, but with high-protein seafood and eggs incorporated. Pescan is a collection of healthy recipes, but it's also a story of friendship, healing, and developing a more positive relationship with food. (Abrams)
