Among Giants
A 20 year retrospective catalog of Zachary Pullen. Produced alongside a show of the same name, at the Nicolaysen Art Museum. Containing over 100 paintings, sketches, reference photos, and several essays pertaining to Pullen's work and the illustration world as a whole. **Sample Text** "There is a common misconception that professional artists have it easy. They sit around the studio with tons of free time and, if they are up for it, may do a little painting for the day. No boss, no time sheets, no office cubicle – just freedom to spend the majority of their day conceptualizing their next great work of art. While the average person struggles with the 9-5 grind, an artist puts in an hour here and there. Oh the beautiful life of an artist, how sweet it must be...."

Lipman Pike -
America's First Home Run King In the mid 1800s the sport of baseball was working its way across the United States. Amateur teams were springing up and in 1858 the National Association of Base Ball Players was formed. Young men were eager to show their prowess on the field and in the batter's box. Lipman Pike's father, a Dutch immigrant, runs a small haberdashery in Brooklyn, New York, though Lip is more interested in watching the ball players than working behind the counter. His mother doesn't approve -- Jewish boys should be paying attention to more sensible matters. But when Lip is barely a teenager, he's invited to join the Nationals Junior Club and play first base. When he hits his first pitch over the right fielder's head, Lip knows baseball is the sport for him. 
Hockey Hero
There's no better feeling than strapping on a worn pair of skates and cutting across smooth, clear ice with sharp blades of steel. Add a black rubber puck, and an old wooden stick, and something special turns into something wonderful... HOCKEY! 
Alfred Nobel
The Man Behind the Peace Prize Almost everyone has heard of the Nobel Prize, a collection of prizes awarded for accomplishments in science, medicine, literature, and peace. But few people know about the man who established the award and for whom it is named, Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Sweden in 1833. A quick and curious mind, combined with a love of science and chemistry, drove him to invent numerous technological devices throughout his long life. But he is perhaps most well known for his invention of dynamite. Intending it to help safely advance road and bridge construction, Nobel saw his most famous invention used in the development of military weaponry. After a newspaper headline mistakenly announces his death, Nobel was inspired to leave a legacy of another sort. The Man Behind the Peace Prize tells the story of the enduring legacy of Alfred Nobel.

Francis and Eddie
The True Story of America's Underdogs A century ago, in 1913, the world's finest golfers gathered at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, to compete in golf's national championship, the U.S. Open. Joining them was a little-known amateur, 20-year-old Francis Ouimet, who lived across the street from the course and taught himself to play by sneaking onto the fairways with the only golf club he owned. His caddie? Ten-year-old Eddie Lowery, who stood only four feet tall. Together, against their idols and in front of a crowd that grew from a handful of spectators to a horde of thousands, they attempted to pull off the impossible. Along the way, they forged a lifelong friendship. In FRANCIS AND EDDIE award-winning author Brad Herzog and award-winning illustrator Zachary Pullen celebrate golf's most inspiring underdog story. What Seabiscuit is to the "sport of kings" Francis and Eddie are to the "gentleman's game."
