Mary Ellen Matthews, Lorne Michaels (foreword)

The electric spirit of Saturday Night Live as captured by longtime resident photographer Mary Ellen Matthews

Andy Samberg in a giant martini glass. Billie Eilish peeking out of a pile of snow. Kevin Hart writing his own cue cards. Paul Rudd as Paul McCartney. Sarah Silverman dusting the NBC marquee. Alec Baldwin as the Godfather.

These are just a few examples of Matthews's bold, dynamic, and playful celebrity portraits that for over two decades have artfully highlighted the hosts and musical guests who help bring the show to life.

Week after week, photographer Mary Ellen Matthews makes magic happen on Saturday Night Live with her inventive, irreverent, and truly original photography for the “bumpers”—portraits of the host or musical guest that transition the show to and from commercial breaks.

Published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of SNL and exquisitely designed by Pentagram, this book is the first collection of Mary Ellen’s remarkable body of work as well as a celebration of America’s longest-running comedy TV show.


* More than 200 color portraits and behind-the-scenes photographs
* A foreword by SNL founder and executive producer Lorne Michaels
* Mary Ellen Matthews in conversation

Marjorie Taylor, Kendall Smith Franchini, Jess Thomson

A gorgeous cookbook about living well the French way from the founders of the Cook’s Atelier, a cooking school in Burgundy, France

French at Heart shows how to create simple, joyous family meals around your own table, in whatever place you call home.

When mother and daughter duo Kendall Smith Franchini and Marjorie Taylor moved to Beaune in Burgundy, France, to open their now-incredibly popular cooking school the Cook’s Atelier, they learned that choosing to appreciate tiny moments more mindfully, like they saw the French do, really opened their hearts.

To them, being French at heart doesn’t mean you have to speak French or live in France; it means slowing down enough to enjoy the little details of every day. Whether that’s preparing a meal for your family and taking the time to enjoy it together around the table or taking an extra moment to set the table with fresh flowers, curating your own joy is worth your time, and this cookbook offers plenty of ideas for ways you can adopt this particularly French habit in your own life.

These are classic recipes that will make you fall in love with things like Salade Niçoise, Duck Confit, and Tarte Tatin.

They are simple recipes, what Taylor and Smith Franchini often cook for their family after a long day, and reflect their take on familiar French favorites. They offer ways to adapt, improve, or simplify classic recipes, along with plenty of additional advice on how to serve a memorable cheese or charcuterie board, curate a French-inspired pantry, start your own kitchen garden, or get the most out of your local farmers’ market.

Creating meaningful moments around meals and sharing them turns out to be quite contagious—and exactly why people love coming to see Taylor and Smith Franchini at their cooking school. Cooking is about more than just the food, and while French at Heart has more than 100 go-to recipes, it is a cookbook for anyone who wants to discover those little details that make our time around the table even more special.

Riley Sheehey

A beautiful illustrated collection of art and musings that highlights the simple joys of caregiving from artist and social media star Riley Sheehey

Multimedia artist Riley Sheehey brings together a charming collection of 100 illustrations of the sweet and often unobserved moments between children and their caregivers.

These aren’t the typical milestones we tend to capture in photos but rather the subtle moments of everyday life that make lasting memories like dancing in the kitchen, playing peek-a-boo, or a taking a sunny nap at the beach.

Originally inspired by Delft tiles, the 400+-year-old blue and white pottery from the Netherlands, Riley started sharing her illustrations on her Instagram account, resonating with thousands of mothers, nannies, teachers, and anyone who has experienced the joys of caring for little ones.

Simple, spare captions allow space for the reader to reflect on their own memories or anticipate experiences to come with their loved ones, and ultimately, pause and appreciate more of these moments as they’re happening.

Geoffroy Monde, Mathieu Burniat (illustrator)

An irreverent, darkly funny, feminist spin on the legend of King Arthur focusing on his runaway daughter, Ysabelle. Perfect for fans of Disenchantment.

King Arthur, Britain’s most legendary hero, is now an old drunkard who spends his days slouched on his throne. He owes his former glory to the magic sword Excalibur, which the wizard Merlin forged for him in order to slay the hordes of demons who came to invade the kingdom of Pendragon. That incredible weapon now collects dust—and suffers from a bad case of boredom.

Meanwhile, Arthur’s daughter, Princess Ysabelle, is wondering how to flee the marriage her father has arranged with the vile Baron Cumber. Desperate for something different and better, Ysabelle and her father’s sword join hands and set off on a quest to change their fates.

But although Ysabelle is brave, she’s never ventured outside before—and the real world is much harsher than life within the palace walls. In order to survive and accomplish her quest, she must rely on Excalibur, as her father did before her. But Excalibur’s intentions may not be as noble as they seem . . .
