When Alf Evers was asked what Catskill book besides his own monumental history should always remain in print, he replied without hesitation, "John Burroughs' In the Catskills." Bob Steuding, author of Last of the Handmade Dams, Rondout, and Heart of the Catskills says, "Without a doubt, this is one of the most interesting and informative books, once again available, on the Catskills. It is an invaluable resource, one which no student of the Catskills should be without." 
 After he acquired an old farmhouse he called "Woodchuck Lodge," near his boyhood home in Roxbury, New York, John Burroughs' friend Clifton Johnson published "In the Catskills," a selection of Burroughs' nature essays. He told Johnson at the time, "The charm of Slabsides [his rustic retreat in the Hudson Valley] had faded, and then I realized that the place in all the world that appealed most to me was the old boyhood farm, and that I was an alien elsewhere. I'd been homesick over forty years. . . . The landscape had come to be a sort of outlying part of me, and it was a lucky day when it was here I would spend the rest of my summers." 
 Nowhere is a love of Catskill Mountain landscape, its wildlife and people more exquisitely expressed then in these eight essays collected by Johnson and illustrated with 24 of his photographs.

The Eater of the Absurd is a 60 page book of poetry by Ohioan John Burroughs, a.k.a. Jesus Crisis. This highly anticipated thematic book of new work by John Burroughs is stunning, thorough, and masterfully executed, and is quintessential Burroughs-wordplay with its punning and juxtapositioning of words and lines. It also contains his Pushcart Prize-nominated performance piece "Lens." Packaged in a textured white cardstock cover with a heavy deep olive green cardstock insert, and printed on creamy soft-white cotton paper, The Eater of the Absurd makes a striking statement of (in John Burroughs' own words) "pleasure, pain, and deprogramming."
