Tallfellow Press, which was founded by the late Larry Sloan and Leonard Stern after they sold Price Stern Sloan to Penguin Putnam in 1993, is publishing again, according to Claudia Sloan, who runs the house. She described the last several years, particularly since the death of her father, Larry Sloan, in 2012, as a series of "ups and downs" and said the press hopes to publish books that are "interesting, fun, inspirational and worthy of the Tallfellow name."
The press's first new title is Really?!!?!: One Woman's Adventures of Dating in the Digital Age by Beulah Sanchez, a pseudonym for 20-something Roslyn Fleischer, a comedy writer. Sloan called the book "very funny" and "all true." The author will hold a signing event on Monday, November 24, at Book Soup in West Hollywood, Calif. Audience members can compete in telling their "worst date" stories to win a free copy of the book. (See a trailer here.)
Upcoming titles include an inspirational book by motivational speaker Stuart K Robinson coming in the spring and new versions of the classic books Droodles by Roger Price and A Martian Wouldn't Say That!! by Leonard B. Stern and Diane L. Robison, as well as a revised version (with new contributors) of Great Failures of the Extremely Successful by Steve Young.
