Stuart Gelzer first visited Georgia in the Cold War 1970s and has been back repeatedly over a span of more than thirty-five years. Much of SIX REASONS covers the period when he was living and studying language and music intensively in Georgia in the 1990s, the critical decade in which Georgians saw their lives uprooted as they staggered into the post-Soviet world.
Gelzer was far from an anonymous reporter gliding unobserved through modern Georgian life. As a member of Trio Kavkasia—quasi-celebrities in a country that takes its traditional music very seriously—he played a part in the early popularization of Georgian folk music abroad. Rather than a work of reportage, therefore, SIX REASONS TO TRAVEL is the highly subjective, often irreverent, unexpectedly comical account of what happened to him along the way.

HOODOO BADLANDS contains almost 140 of Stuart Gelzer's full-color photographs from six years of exploration in the badlands of northwestern New Mexico: the Bisti, the De-Na-Zin, Lybrook (including the Black Place), and Ah-shi-sle-pah.
Each section of the book is devoted to a single badlands area, and opens with a short essay. The tone is informal and personal, focusing on what distinguishes one place from another, and especially on the author's own experiences of camping and photographing in that particular place.

“Whoever you are, your hand will carry my mark. And when it’s time, if you won’t come to Lagardère, Lagardère will come to you!” A classic tale of hidden identity and swashbuckling vengeance stretching across decades, THE HUNCHBACK has thrilled readers since it first came out in 1857.
Paul Féval’s “cape and sword” landmark is as beloved in France as Dumas’s Three Musketeers (there have been half a dozen movie adaptations) but this modern translation is the first and only complete rendering of THE HUNCHBACK in English.
