"In her portraits of people, Didion is not out to expose but to understand, and she shows us actors and millionaires, doomed brides and naive acid-trippers, left wing ideologues and snobs of the Hawaiian aristocracy in a way that makes them neither villainous nor glamorous, but alive and botched and often mournfully beautiful.... A rich display of some of the best prose written today in this country." --Dan Wakefield, The New York Times Book Review

"These literary gems are the perfect stocking-stuffer size for the serious reader on your list; you'll look smart wrapping up one or all of them." --USA Today

"A slant vision that is arresting and unique...Didion might be an observer from another planet--one so edgy and alert that she ends up knowing more about our own world than we know ourselves." --Anne Tyler

"The story between the lines of Slouching Towards Bethlehem is surely not so much 'California' as it is [Didion's] ability to make us share her passionate sense of it." --Alfred Kazin

"Give one of these adorable mini-editions of classic nonfiction books by women--only slightly larger than a mobile phone--to a bookish friend, and they'll get lit, literally."--BUST

"Gorgeous . . . among the season's sexiest little literary gifts . . . Close-up portraits of the grand dames by illustrator Celia Carlstedt grace the textured, curve-cornered jackets of these pocket-sized volumes (it's as if they've already been gift wrapped)." --Passport Magazine
