“If someone you know loves 'C.S.I.' and reading, give them Murder Maps USA, which revisits notorious murders from the Civil War to World War II.”
— The New York Times
“Stuffed with archival newspaper clippings, vintage illustrations, mugshots, timelines, deeply disquieting photos and, of course, maps that plot where the killings occurred, the book is a veritable cornucopia of crime.”
— The New York Times Book Review
“The perfect crime rarely is. Even the cleverest killer can slip up somewhere. A footprint in the flower bed, a fingerprint on a doorknob, a strand of hair by the body—something's always left behind. Adam Selzer's Murder Maps USA: Crime Scenes Revisited details dozens of these stray clues, and the killers they helped catch.”
— New York Daily News
“[With] muted colors and stunning, intricately textured illustrations…this deceptively simple tale is laced with profound, beautifully wrought truths… A clever and poignant tribute to the love of all those who made the journey.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Haunting and magical… One of the best takes on the experiences of children of immigrant parents…in a picture book form… A story of truly enduring love… Each piece of this book fits snugly together with every other piece, like a well-constructed puzzle. Simple enough for children to understand. Layered enough for adult readers to appreciate. Strangely perfect.”
— Betsy Bird School Library Journal
“A poignant, fantastical conceit, reminiscent of the work of Shaun Tan… In spare, unflinching prose, Sworder shows just how much [parents are] willing to give up so their son can have what other children have… [His] soft pencil-and-watercolor illustrations, inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, are as rich with emotion and atmosphere as his text.”
— The New York Times Book Review
“A remarkable celebration of unconditional parental love… Surpasse[s] The Giving Tree in both illustrations and narrative… Sworder gifts lucky readers of all ages a perfectly harmonized achievement in words and art.”
— Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“The phenomenal hospitality, cultural, and private residence work of the practice Neri&Hu is presented in meticulous detail like never before. Through sketches, before-and-after imagery, and narrative-driven concept descriptions, readers are given an inside look at the painstaking process that goes into their commissions, which often involve unifying heritage buildings with contemporary interventions.”
— Surface
“The elegant and intelligent prose, paired with photos that highlight the firm's spare design, will enchant fans of minimalism. Sophisticated and beautiful, this is sure to delight architecture buffs.”
