Spotlight on: autumn in Western New York

Billy Shaw. Joe Ferguson. Fred Smerlas. Before the days of multi-million dollar contracts for unproven players, there were men like these. Men who built one of America's most storied football franchises without expecting lucrative endorsement deals or $80 autograph fees.

In The Bills Are Due, Rob Thompson pays tribute to the generations of players who made the Buffalo Bills -- and, by extension, Western New York -- what it is today. Thompson's personal reminiscences of his own youth brilliantly capture the historical milieu of the team's "golden era" -- and remind readers why they first fell for our beloved Bills.

Gifted photographer David Lawrence Reade is back with another stunning collection of his work, Western New York Wild. In full-color majesty, his images reveal a breathtaking world right next to our own.

Sections of the book explore the region's amazing autumn colors, peaceful forests, and fascinating wildlife. Western New York Wild also includes a "Wild Guide" -- a list of David's own favorite Western New York sites, in which to see and explore nature.

It was two years ago that Sister Karen Klimczak was murdered at Buffalo's Bissonette House, by one of the ex-offenders she spent her life helping. It was an untimely and sad end to a life dedicated to non-violence. Her legacy carries on in Peaceprints: Sister Karen's Paths To Nonviolence.

Each copy of this warm book includes the Emmy-nominated DVD, Apostle of Peace. Through her own journal entries, and interviews with some of those who knew her best, Sister Karen's hopes for a nonviolent future can be imagined.
