“Even the Terrible Things Seem Beautiful to Me Now, 2nd Edition” Over the last two decades, Mary Schmich’s column in the Tribune has offered advice, humor and discerning commentary on a broad array of topics including family, personal milestones, mental illness, writing and life in Chicago. This second edition — updated to include Schmich’s best pieces since its original publication — collects her 10 Pulitzer-winning columns along with more than 150 others, creating a compelling collection that reflects Schmich’s thoughtful, insightful and engaging sensibility.

“Vintage Chicago: The Best of @vintagetribune on Instagram” The @vintagetribune Instagram, a beloved photography account produced by the photo editors of the Tribune, has been mining the newspaper’s vast archives since 2014. These are the images that would have been posted had Instagram existed in, say, 1932 — the offbeat, gritty, funny, rare, everyday images captured in the moments that happened between the well-documented events that make up the city’s official biography. This book is an unexpected, inspired portrait of one of the world’s great metropolises, told through the lenses of the countless feet-on-the-street photographers from the city’s hometown paper.
