WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
Based on popular request, we've created the McSweeney's Book Release Club. It's similar to a book-of-the-month club--we'll send BRC subscribers the next ten books we put out, roughly one a month. We will do this for just $100 (plus shipping).

Cold Fusion
by Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-On-Whey
For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and worried about the possibility that semi-sane scholar-pretenders would find the means to put out a series of reference books aimed at children but filled with ludicrous misinformation. These books would be distributed through respectable channels and would inevitably find their way into the hands and households of well-meaning families, who would go to them for facts but instead find bizarre untruths. The books would look normal enough, but would read as if written by people who should not have written them.
Sadly, that day is upon us. The fourth book in the HOW series, Cold Fusion, is to be feared. Like its predecessors, Giraffes? Giraffes! and Animals of the Ocean, Cold Fusion must also be kept far from the young people in your life. This book reveals the secrets of cold fusion, one of the most controversial scientific pursuits that can be conducted in a bathtub.
WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
Be a Nose!
by Art Spiegelman
Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, creator of Wacky Packs and the Garbage Pail Kids, and father of the modern graphic novel (though he’s still demanding a blood test), presents this warts-and-all reproduction of his private sketchbooks — and the results are as candid, sharp, and funny as the relentlessly innovative man behind them. BE A NOSE! is a rare glimpse into the secret scribblings of an American original.
Read Hard
Five Years of Great Writing from the Believer
This volume collects the finest essays and articles from the four-time National Magazine Award nominated Believer magazine. The book combines all the erudition and wit readers have come to expect from its pages: Jonathan Lethem's bold suggestion that Charles Dickens be read as an "animal novelist." Zadie Smith's detailed explanation of how to write a Zadie Smith novel. Haruki Murakami's deeply personal take on Thelonius Monk. Charles Baxter's glimpse into the history of the human face in fiction. It's an essential anthology, collecting the best in creative nonfiction, the best in literary journalism, and the best writing in English from the beginning of the twenty-first century, from one of the smartest, weirdest, and funniest magazines in the country.
