SALMON PATTIES AND ROSEHIP PIE COOKBOOK
Art, Food and the Coastal Life in Halibut Cove Alaska Author & Artist: Marian T. Beck Edited by Kathy Howard This lovely cookbook features 60 delicious, easy-fixing recipes from The Saltry Restaurant in Halibut Cove, 30 of Marian Beck’s vibrant paintings, and wonderful petite stories accompanying each painting that describe life in Halibut Cove, where the locals fish out the front door, gather their own coal from the beach, and go clamming in the dark of night when winter’s minus tides fall. Marian’s favorite recipes: Sable Fish Chowder, Smoked Salmon Yam Yums, Pesto Halibut, Shiitake Potato Cakes, Mom’s Rhubarb Custard Pie. |
HOOKED!
The rousing sea stories are all here: the dramas of near-death battles, the sickening tragedy of lovers
and friends lost to the waters, but this is not the whole story. The collection of stories
from 16 fisher-writers, both established and new voices, represents an extraordinary holistic
view of Alaskan fishing: not just the dying, but the living; not just the obsessive doing
of fishing, but the passionate being as well. Readers will understand why so many are
hooked, unwilling, or unable to leave this uncommon life.

BERING SEA BLUES
Joe Upton, 25, was the youngest guy aboard when the 104-foot Flood Tide pulled out of Seattle in March 1971
headed for Dutch Harbor with 700-pound crab pots stacked three deep on her deck. The top-heavy load
caused anxiety when the vessel iced up in howling winds and rough seas, rolling heavily from side to side.
That's when the crew scrambled on deck, breaking up the ice with hammers and baseball bats.
Upton concluded that if he challenged fate in the Bering Sea he would wind up either rich or dead, or both.

DANCING WITH ETERNITY
What would happen if Odysseus met Captain Ahab in the Fortieth Century? Only Captain Ahab is a
beautiful woman named Steel who owns her own starship, and Odysseus is an unemployed
actor named Mohandas who’s stuck on the backside of a backwater moon because he won't
pay his taxes. Everybody—almost everybody—lives forever, and there’s a telepathic
Internet that allows the entire population of the galaxy to communicate at will and
even experience the world from another person’s perspective.
“...Humorous and thoughtful, Dancing with Eternity may prove a fun read for science
fiction fans with a strong interest in deep space travel and other elements of the far flung future.” |

ESKIMO STAR
The blazing marquee of the plush Astor Theater in New York City billed the 1933 premier of Eskimo as
"THE BIGGEST PICTURE EVER MADE," propelling a 27-year-old Inupiat Eskimo from Candle, Alaska, to
overnight stardom. The handsome actor was not only the first Alaskan to become a Hollywood movie star but
also the first non-white actor to play in a leading role.
This is the story of Ray Wise Mala, the talented and enterprising son of an itinerant Russian trader and an
Eskimo mother. Mala became part of the white man's world but for most of his life struggled to find a place
in it. At age 16, Mala got his break in Alaska in 1921 when hired to help film Primitive Love in which he was
given a role. Mala appeared in more than 25 films over the next three decades. |

of independent people in faraway places throughout Alaska. Andrews and Creed also edited the
