	The Cranberry: Hard Work and Holiday Sauce by Stephen Cole and Lindy Gifford    *Autographed Copies Available*    Transformed from a wild fruit to a cultivated commodity, the American cranberry contains equal amounts of holiday symbolism and antioxidants. Its evolution over the past century is a surprising story of risk, enterprise, conflict, and the tension between tradition and innovation. The cranberry is characterized by the distinctive regions—from Cape Cod to the Pacific Northwest—where it is grown. But the diminutive fruit has also changed the life and landscape of these places. The Cranberry: Hard Work and Holiday Sauce harvests stories, images, and observations to tell the unusual tale of an American subculture dominated by this tart little red fruit.
	Cranberry Memories: Voices from the Bogs edited by Edward and Yolanda Lodi    *Autographed Copies Available*     Wonderful review at the Cape Cod Times and the Barnstable Patriot.    Cranberry Memories: Voices from the Bogs is an anthology of memoirs in words and photographs about the many ways cranberries and the bogs they grow on have influenced life on Cape Cod and in Southeastern Massachusetts .    Twenty-nine writers, many of them first-time authors, contributed recollections from the perspectives of laborers, growers, truck drivers, seasonal workers, tourists, and those who grew up playing near--or working on--the bogs. Subjects include the Great Depression and the bitter “cranberry strike” of the 1930’s; dry picking--by hand, rake, snap, scoop, and machine; World War II (gas rationing and the importation of workers from Kentucky and Jamaica); recipes; Edaville Railroad; instructions on how to convert a swamp into a bog; skating and other sports; the beauties of nature; “bog buggies” made from Model A Fords; and a true ghost story, to give just a partial listing.    With more than 60 photographs dating back to as long ago as the 1930’s, Cranberry Memories: Voices from the Bogs is a nostalgic celebration of a way of life and an informal history of cranberry growing on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts .
	Very Cranberry by Jennifer Trainer Thomspon    Mention cranberries and most people think of holiday feasts and the glistening, garnet-colored sauce served (often jiggling) among the many traditional culinary trimmings. But cranberries are such a delectable, versatile ingredient; they shouldn’t be relegated to the fall harvest. Cranberries can create a startling counterpoint to other flavors, such as in Braised Lamb Shanks with Sweet Garlic and Cranberry Jus; or take center stage, such as in Cranberry-Pear Crumble; or make terrific gifts, such as Cranberry-Blueberry Jam. In VERY CRANBERRY, you’ll find 40-plus recipes using fresh as well as dried cranberries to inspire year-round enjoyment of this phenomenal fruit.
	Clarence: The Cranberry Who Couldn't Bounce by Jim Coogan    When people think of Cape Cod, they think of cranberries. Millions and millions of cranberries are produced in the bogs across the peninsula. It is where the industry began. One of those berries is Clarence! Clarence is a good little berry in every way except for one thing. He cannot bounce! To be a good cranberry, they must bounce through the berry separator at harvest time. For Clarence, this seems an impossible task. Try as he might, he just cannot bounce like the rest of his extended berry family. Journey with Clarence as he learns what being a good cranberry is all about and how his efforts bring him success when it counts.
