A newly published book from Chronicle Books outlines and illustrates the interesting, unique rituals and superstitions practiced by well-known authors, artists, athletes, poets, painters, politicians and more.
Recipes for Good Luck by Ellen Weinstein
Recipes for Good Luck – The Superstitions, Rituals, and Practices of Extraordinary People was written and illustrated by Ellen Weinstein. I received an advanced copy of what is her first book and it’s terrific.
It’s a charming 144 page book filled with an array of unique practices from quirky superstitions to pre-performance rituals from such well-known personalities as Georgia O’Keeffe and Franklin D. Roosevelt to Heidi Klum and Leonard Coen.
This visual compendium celebrates in text and charming illustrated portraits the real personalities, creative processes, and curious habits of these influential people.
Clad in a handsome silk-screened cloth spine, this treasure trove of inspiration is a smart and special choice for anyone who could use a little good fortune.
