BiblioLife is proud to be releasing the Essential History of Exploration & Mountaineering - Everest Series with Conrad featuring the two historical Everest books he had at base camp during filming. These are the original texts digitized in their original form and including Conrad’s trip journal and a foreword on the significance the two books play in the story of George Mallory.  Conrad will have preview copies available on his promotional tour and the book will be available in Print and eBook in early August.

jimihatt is hitting the road this summer — signing copies of the first release in his “Old School” cooking series - Old Cookery Books & Ancient Cuisine and bringing a little joy into your lives. You seriously need to hit one of these events.

We did a great event with Guerrilla Cuisine back at the Charleston Library Conference in November where we cooked up some delicacies from this medieval cookbook and compendium of food history. Including the sweetbreads (yes, those sweetbreads).

With a great foreword by Matt Bolus, one of Charleston’s finest, it is a must read. And believe me the signings are more than a boring guy at a card table.

The Old School Cooking Series, says Jimihatt, is all about staying close to home. “Food preparation and farming are the most ancient traditions we have. And everything started out local,” he writes in his introduction to Hazlitt’s Old Cookery Books and Ancient Cuisine. The book provides a fascinating look into the ancient kitchens of Britain, when royal tables featured extravagant meals with whole porpoises, beer made from hops, and omelets with bacon, while the poor subsisted mainly on bread, butter, and cheese.”

Our first release, The Backyard Farmer, originally published in 1917 by John Willard Bolte, will launch at the American Library Association conference in Denver later this month. It offers some unique perspectives and relevant wisdom to the “green” movement.

From the introduction:
“Organic gardening is a name that is used currently to represent things that were done before the separation of conventional and organic (a mid to late 20th century phenomenon) gardening. When this book was written, there was limited access to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. So growing organically was the only choice!”
