Praise for Around the World on Two Wheels

“[T]hanks to Peter Zheutlin, Annie Londonderry Kopchovsky will be remembered as
a woman who transcended the limitations of her time and displayed independence
and bravery, making an important contribution to Jewish women’s history in particular,
and feminist history in general.”

-- The Jerusalem Report

“Well researched and written…this reclaimed true story illuminates family life, journalism,
advertising, and recreation of that transitional era [the 1890s]. As for Annie, she was a
remarkable woman and well worth getting to know.”

-- Booklist

"A pleasant, affectionate portrait of a free spirit who pedaled her way out of Victorian
constraints."

-- Kirkus Reviews

"[A] lively portrayal of the cycling culture in the United States and France during the
late 1800s and a well-researched depiction of cycling's role in the women's movement
of Susan B. Anthony's heyday."

-- The Oregonian

“[A] charming and informative book.”

Zheutlin for shining light on the astounding – and sometimes outright astonishing –
story of Annie Londonderry.”

Praise for Life in the Balance

“Against [the] generally lackluster collection of [physician turned patient] memoirs,
Dr. Thomas Graboys’s stands out as a small wonder. Unsentimental and unpretentious,
it manages to hit all its marks effortlessly, creating a version of the old fable as touching,
educational and inspiring as if it had never been told before…"

-- The New York Times

"I was blown away...an eye opening read...a remarkable book."

-- Dr. Timothy Johnson, ABC News Medical Correspondent

“Life in the Balance is Graboys' heartbreaking account of his ongoing battle with
Parkinson's. It is the story of a doctor turned patient, of unrelenting challenges and
even more unrelenting strength; a story that is at once sad, honest and poignant,
but ultimately—and against all odds—hopeful."

-- Parade Magazine

"[We] need the perspectives...in books like this, since our ability to evaluate the choices
that patients and families make may be limited by our lack of experience."

-- New England Journal of Medicine

"Beautifully written, searingly honest...lets us see the impact of serious illness on a
man who is both doctor and patient."

-- Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

"A powerful and poignant portrayal of a physician who refuses to have illness rob him
of his dignity and joy. A unique and inspiring memoir that captures the resiliency of
the human spirit."

-- Jerome Groopman, M.D., Harvard Medical School, author of How Doctors Think and
The Measure our Days

"Reading this extraordinary memoir of hope beyond illness and courage beyond despair,
one word kept coming to mind: honesty."

-- Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States

"[A] stirring and chilling memoir...unforgettable..."

-- Booklist

Praise for Riches Among the Ruins

“[A] gripping read [told] with a raconteur’s gusto…thrilling.”

-- Publisher’s Weekly

"This crackling good yarn about a high roller in the age of globalism will appeal to
financial specialists and to general readers."

-- ForeWord Magazine

"With his ear and eye for the telling detail, his vignettes have the stamp of authenticity
and are often screamingly funny."

-- Financial Post

Praise for The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook

"Why give a ho-hum, everyday cookbook when you could give one that's Don
Draper-approved? This book serves up more than 70 recipes from the show...
as well as oddities of historical detail...sure to appeal to foodies, history buffs
and Mad Men fans alike!"
-- BettyConfidential.com

"[A] collection of recipes...for nearly every bite or sip consumed on the show...Each
one's tie to a specific scene in Mad Men is illustrated, as well as the historical context
for why that particular dish was popular in mid-century."
-- L.A. Weekly

"Beautifully put together...it has a retro feel with a touch of timelessness...a must have
for any Mad Men fan."
-- Columbus (GA) Ledger-Enquirer

"The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook is so pure: 60s classics like mushroom canapes on
melba toast, turkey tetrazzini, chicken kiev. We love it!"
-- The Art of Eating via Twitter

"A culinary love letter to the award-winning drama."
-- The Boston Herald

restaurants to Betty Draper's famous Around the Word dinner."
