From the publisher who brought us The Silver Spoon ("the Italian Joy of Cooking"), comes 1080 Recipes, by Simone and Inez Ortega which may rightly be described as "the Spanish Silver Spoon." The title gives a clear indication of the book's scope and size. Besides being huge, it is simply the definitive book on Spanish home cooking and has been Spain's bestselling cookbook for over 30 years. Includes 200 colorful and whimsical illustrations. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds

Flying downhill does not have to be done on two feet. A sitting position or even belly-first works fine. And you can enjoy a face full of snow without doing a faceplant. All with the right equipment. This is the book about that beautiful piece of equipment. It's the perfect wintertime gift. With chapters like Building a Better Sled, Sleds Through the Ages and Apres Sled, this charming and rustic (and well-priced) little book is nostalgic, practical and delightful. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds

When I recommend an art book featuring only sheepfolds found in northwest England, you might be skeptical. When I mention Andy Goldworthy, you might be very enthusiastic. The British artist has for decades been creating gorgeous, description-defying art from natural and found materials. His latest book, Enclosure, features a rich array of works all relating to sheep and the stone structures that for centuries have been used to shelter them. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds
