With Signing Their Lives Away (Quirk, 2009), Denise Kiernan and Joseph D’Agnese introduced readers to the 56 statesmen and scoundrels who signed the Declaration of Independence. Now they’ve turned their attention to 39 men who met in the summer of 1787 and put their names to the U.S. Constitution.

Signing Their Rights Away chronicles a moment in U.S. history when our elected officials actually knew how to compromise—and put aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to prison, John Rutledge attempted suicide (twice!); and Thomas Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow they managed to craft what is now the world’s oldest living Constitution. With 39 mini-biographies and a reversible dust jacket (that unfolds into a facsimile of the Constitution), Signing Their Rights Away offers an entertaining and enlightening narrative for history buffs of all ages.

DENISE KIERNAN and JOSEPH D’AGNESE have written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Village Voice, Wired, Discover, and other national publications. Their previous book, Signing Their Lives Away, received a starred review in School Library Journal. They live in North Carolina.

Alex and Susan Wendt are the perfect couple in search of the perfect brownstone—and they find their dream house in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Sure, the landlady is a little eccentric, and the handyman drops some cryptic remarks about the previous tenants. But the rent is so low, it’s too good to pass up!

Big mistake: Susan soon discovers that the brownstone is crawling with bedbugs . . . Or is it? She awakens every morning with fresh bites, but neither Alex nor their daughter Emma has a single welt. Extermina-tors search the property and turn up nothing. Neighbors insist the building is clean. Susan fears that she’s going mad—but as the mysteries deepen, a more sinister explanation presents itself: She may literally be confronting the bedbug problem from hell.

An understated horror story filled with loving references to Rosemary’s Baby and other classic tales of urban paranoia, Bedbugs will keep your skin crawling into the wee hours of the night.

BEn H. WinTERs is the New York Times best-selling author of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters (Quirk, 2009). His most recent book, the YA novel The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman (HarperCollins, 2010), was nominated for an Edgar Award. After ten years of living in Brooklyn, a battle with bedbugs sent him scurrying off to Boston.

We live in the era of the geek. Computer nerds are our titans of industry; comic-book heroes are our Hollywood idols; the Internet is our night on the town. Clearly, the geeks know something that other folks don’t—something we could all do well to learn from.

So here it is: Geek Wisdom. Painstakingly gathered and interpreted by a diverse team of hardcore nerds who’ve spent years poring over the most beloved texts of the modern-day imagination. Beginning with some 200 of the most powerful and oft-cited quotes from movies (“Do, or do not—there is no ‘try’”), television (“The truth is out there”), comics (“With great power comes great responsibility”), science, the Internet, and more, Geek Wisdom offers illuminating insights into the eternal truths to be found therein. Yes, this collection of mini-essays is by, for, and about geeks—but it’s just so surprisingly profound, the rest of us would have to be dorks not to read it.

STEPHEN H. SEGAL is the Hugo Award winning senior contributing editor to Weird Tales, the world’s oldest fantasy/sci-fi/horror magazine, and a staff editor at Quirk Books. His geek portfolio includes work for Tor Books, Viz Media, and WQED Pittsburgh. A native of Atlantic City, he lives in Philadelphia.

Mind-Blowing Revelations From Willy Wonka, lois lane, and other Geek Icons



“With great power comes great responsibility.” —Stan Lee, Marvel Comics

Spider-Man’s uncle told him this, and that’s why he became Spider-Man. George Washington realized it, too, and that’s why he decided eight years was long enough for anyone to be president of the United States. Tim Allen tried to dodge around it, and that’s why his dishwasher exploded. King David said to hell with it and had his lover’s husband killed, and that’s why he was plagued by epic family problems for the rest of his life. Paris Hilton seems oblivious to the very concept, and that’s why animal lovers have long been inclined to worry about her poor, poor dog. And Albert Einstein realized the full, inhu-man horror of it; that’s why he wrote to Franklin Roosevelt to explain the possibility of an atomic bomb. Sure, the seed of the truism can be found in Luke 12:48 (“To whom much is given, much is expected”), but although the word of that uppity young Jewish carpenter from Nazareth may be eternal, it took an uppity young Jewish comic-book writer from New York City to put it in terms that ring true to the modern ear.

When you need some profound truth that’s a bit fresher than the Bible or Shakespeare, it’s time to turn to Geek Wisdom.

Wisdom about the self from Frederick Frankenstein: “Destiny! Destiny! No escaping that for me!”

Wisdom about relationships from Mr. Spock: “I have been, and always shall be, your friend.”

Wisdom about humankind from Catwoman: “Life’s a bitch. Now, so am I.”

Wisdom about conflict from Tyler Durden: “The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.”

Wisdom about the universe from Obi-Wan Kenobi: “The Force will be with you. Always.”

Wisdom about the future from Doc Brown: “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”

As contemporary poets deliver entire volumes on subjects like incest, menstruation, and pine cones, regular guys are left scratching their heads. Who will speak for Everyman? Who will articulate his love for Xbox 360, for Mama Celeste’s Frozen Pizza, for any movie starring Bruce Willis?

Enter Broetry—a stunning debut from a dazzling new literary voice. “Broet Laureate” Brian McGackin goes where no poet has gone before—to Star Wars conventions, to frat parties, to video game tournaments, and beyond. With poems like “Ode to That Girl I Dated for, Like, Two Months Sophomore Year” and “My Friends Who Don’t Have Student Loans,” we follow the Bro from his high school graduation and college experience through a “quarter-life crisis” and beyond. Packaged in a small gifty hardcover and illustrated with tasteful black and white illustrations, Broetry is a funny and sly look at modern masculinity.

BRIAN mCGACKIN earned his MFA in poetry from the University of Southern Cali-fornia. He lives in Los Angeles. This is his first book.

Emily Post gave us plenty of great advice, but she never tackled these tricky situations:

• Should I friend my boss on Facebook?• Do I really need to tip those Starbucks baristas? • If I’m stuck in the middle seat of an airplane, which armrest is mine?

Fortunately, Caroline Tiger has been teaching readers “real-world etiquette” since How to Behavewasfirstpublished in 2002. Now this quintessential guide to modern manners has been redesigned and updated with an all-new chapter on cyber-etiquette, text-messaging, Twitter, Facebook, smart phones, and more. New technologies may come and go, but How to Behave reminds us that good manners and polite be-havior never go out of style.
