Conceived, written, edited, and designed by Roundtable, A MOTHER'S BOUQUET is a scratch-and-sniff book that is also a charming meditation on mothers, motherhood, and our aromatic associations. Full-color illustrations and four evocative scratch-and-sniff scents—gardenias, perfume, baby powder, and apple pie—form a whimsical backdrop to thoughtful musings by Roundtable's own Julie Merberg and reminiscences from a diverse array of authors, such as Colette, Mary Karr, Mia Farrow, Rebecca Wells, and Wallace Stegner.

PILLS FOR CATS, a tongue-in-cheek ode to the ubiquitous use of mood-enhancing medication, tells the story of one very neurotic, anxious, depressed, unfocused, sleep-deprived cat who finds happiness through modern pharmacology. Co-written by Roundtable's Patty Brown and illustrated throughout with New Yorker cartoonist Victoria Roberts' wryly funny watercolors, PILLS FOR CATS is sure to join the long tradition of best-selling cat humor books. This handsome, full color, jacketed hard cover is the perfect gift for neurotics everywhere.
And be sure to check out IS YOUR CAT GAY?, coming in Fall 2004 (Simon & Schuster).
