OTHERPEOPLE’S
REJECTIONLETTERS
Relationship Enders, Career Killers, and Other
Leers You’ll Be Glad You Didn’t Receive
Edited by Bill Shapiro
Following in the tradition of Other People’s Love Leers, Bill
Shapiro presents a colorful panoply of rejection leers (many
from famous people, such as A-Rod, Jimi Hendrix, and Andy
Warhol, among others) that, when taken together, offer humor,
insight, the comfort of shared experience, and, yes, even a lile
schadenfreude to anyone who has ever experienced rejection,
whether at the hands of a callous lover, potential employer, or
countless others with the power to say no.
Other People’s Rejection Leers is a collection of actual let-
ters by hundreds of Americans presented exactly as they were
wrien—rejections full of sting and bite, disdain and disinterest,
misjudgment and mistrust (and, yes, even encouragement). They
provide an uncensored look into the myriad types of rebuffs
people have experienced. From the smart of being dumped by

Arrangements Made with Flowers Picked

Carlos Mota
Photography by William Waldron
Foreword by Margaret Russell
Cheap thrills are having beautiful flowers around all the time just
for the heck of it. With short lists of what you’ll need and clear
instructions for what to do, plus more than gorgeous and
inspirational color photographs, Flowers Chic and Cheap makes
decorating with flowers something you will want to do every day.
Carlos Mota, who has styled hundreds of the world’s most elegant
homes for Elle Decor, has a simple, secret weapon for brightening a
room with flowers: a handful of seasonal blooms (no more than four
types of flowers) from a place such as the grocery store, farmers’
market, or your backyard; a simple container—perhaps one found
in Wal-Mart, your recycling bin, or heirloom cabinet; and a touch
of whimsy. Flowers Chic and Cheap is inspired by our simplest and

In a divorce, it used to be who gets the child? Now it’s Who gets

ficult to tell what’s expected of you today when the private is now
public; there are few—if any—boundaries. Stephanie Pierson and

bizarre modern quandaries—when it comes to technology-induced

a collected and smart way.

a Berry Border Pillow, Harvest Apron, Apple Blossom Kerchief,
Gingerbread Mobile, and Monogrammed Quilt. Many of the proj-
ects are functional, a few are purely decorative, but all of them can
be adapted as desired. Organized into three sections—decorative
embroidery, counted cross-stitch, and crewelwork—the projects
are accompanied by stitch charts, templates, paern pieces, and
instructions for finishing. Luscious photography and Alicia’s hand-
