We've assembled a collection of unique books in our shop - many are related to
the artists that we've shown on our gallery walls over the past 46 years, in
addition to books that provide just good reading - many published by Tristan
Publishing, books with a message. Most recently we've added some fun books
for our dog enthusiasts, and several by award winning Canadian artist, writer
and creator of the Eric & Eloise series, Jessica Hiemstra.
We also have a separate section for our diverse selection of Christmas Related
books and another section for our Wisconsin - Images of America series.

Charley Harper:
An Illustrated Life
AMMO Books is honored to present this beautiful large format
title as the definitive monograph of artist Charley Harper's six
decade long career. Renowned New York based designer Todd Oldham
rediscovered Charley's work in 2001, and collaborated closely
with him, combing through his extensive archive to edit and
design this stunning AMMO Books release.
Charley Harper - An Illustrated Life, showcases his illustrations
that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well
as in books such as the beloved "The Giant Golden Book of
Biology" in 1961, "Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two" in 1961, and
"The Animal Kingdom" in 1968, among many others.
His well loved book "Birds and Words", first published in 1974,
is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charley's work has
never before been published in one complete retrospective.
Accordingly, this massive volume is the definitive Charley
Harper book to have on your bookshelf!

A Tower of Giraffes
Book by Anna Wright
A drove of pigs, a romp of otters, an ostentation of
peacocks, and a tower of giraffes... This clever book
introduces young readers to some of the words we use to
refer to animals in a group. The ink, watercolor, and fabric
collage art is brightly colored and uniquely sets this fun
book apart from the crowd. Each page presents information
about an animal and its group behavior, such as how geese
fly in a V-shape and honk to encourage the leaders, and that
sometimes tens of thousand of flamingos meet up in one
location.
Young readers will have a great time and create a wellspring
of new vocabulary words.
