A kitchen stove and counter with various food items. Pale orange cat on top of a 4 foot high tower air conditioner, looking at the photographer. Cat is probably wondering why there is no tuna recipe this week.

Because Judith and I are HUGE Blade Runner fans, our store carries multiple books directly related to the 2 feature films, plus more that you could say are adjacent (like books on Ron Cobb and Syd Mead). Here's a link to every book with "Blade Runner" in the summary. mzs.press/search?keywo...

Left to right, 3 book covers: Blade Runner 2049 Interlinked, a selection of conceptual paintings, drawings, schematics and so forth; a book about production designer Ron Cobb, who worked on the first film; Blade Runner 2049: The Storyboards, the title of which is self-explanatory.

Left to right: 2 book covers. Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, a huge book about the production of the film, updated and expanded to deal with the many different cuts; The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049, comprehensive and huge coffee table book of images from the movie and its filming, the cover of which shows Ryan Gosling's K walking through the orange haze of irradiated Las Vegas; the BFI paperback appreciation of Blade Runner, mostly black with an inset photo of bare-chested Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in the character's final scene.

Left to right: A vintage 1986 Starlog magazine cover that has Daryl Hannah (Blade Runner costar) on the cover in Clan of the Cave Bear face paint, and a column of cover headlines to the right teasing all the different behind-the-scenes stories about the production of SF and Fantasy films made in the early- and mid-1980s.

Left to right: The Art and Making of Alien Covenant, the third Alien film directed by Blade Runner maestro Ridley Scott; The Movie Art of Syd Mead, the conceptual artist who defined key aspects of many classic SF films, including Blade Runner and Alien; Aliens: The Set Photography, a large format book of production pictures from James Cameron's Alien sequel, which was executive produced by Ridley Scott and used some of Ron Cobb's concept art.

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand.
CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer.
RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.

A screenshot of the pre-orders section at mzs.press. Three screenshots of books that have not yet been released. I Am The Night, Daniel Dockery's book about Batman the Brave and the Bold, has a silhouette of Batman stretching from the top to the bottom of the cover, with the title of the book and a nighttime Gotham skyline circumscribed by the borders of the Batman silhouette.

CENTER The cover of The Ring Cycle, Matt Zoller Seitz and Odie Henderson's book on the Rocky and Creed films. The cover is white except for a pair of black boxing gloves floating there

RIGHT The cover of Documentary Now!, the 600-page, 7-pound coffee table book celebrating the aforementioned IFC Channel series parodying classic documentaries.

Screenshot of three books carried at mzs.press arts bookstore:
LEFT: Cover of Lead Sister, a biography of Karen Carpenter, featuring a closeup of Carpenter playing and singing with The Carpenters.
CENTER: The cover of Anthony Hopkins' We Did OK, Kid, a memoir of his life and career. On the cover is Hopkins in closeup as he looks presently, narrowed blue eyes looking directly at the spectator.
RIGHT: Cover of Louis Armstrong In His Own Words, a collection of the bandleader's correspondence. The cover image is a photograph of a probably fortysomething Armstrong seated at the wooden desk in his office where he often wrote letters.

Screenshot of the covers of 3 books carried at mzs.press Arts Bookstore.
LEFT: The cover of Gotham City Cocktails, a book of mixed drink recipes inspired by Batman. Art deco-style flowing border lines flow around and around the interior of the dust jacket. At the center are drawings of two tall cocktail glasses and between them, a shot glass and a tumbler with a sword-pierced cherry in it.
CENTER: The cover of Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook. Green cover, white writing and graphics. The central image is a teapot with stem lines coming out of it, and at the pot's base, a teacup and saucer and a separate plate of biscuits.
RIGHT: Bob's Burgers "The Re-Recipe Box," a set of recipe cards inspired by the joke hamburger names featured on the small board at the front of Bob's joint. Red sides with small graphics, cover image of the restaurant.

Also chose two other teas to try.

Two packages of loose leaf tea. They are printed with Friday Afternoon Tea at the top in a field of green. Halfway down the package the plastic is clear and you can see the tea inside, and below that is the name of the tea above a small field of red. The left side tea is called Night Market, which is a dirty chai flavor, and the right is called Keepers Of The Forest, which has "earth and fruit and leaf and nut" flavors.
