St. Louis native Eric von Schrader set his science fiction trilogy in a reimagined version of St. Louis. All three books and audiobooks are out now.

Ted Reidy of St. Louis Public Library and Tammy Albohaire of St. Louis County Library share their favorite books released in 2024.

The new book from Reedy Press contains colorful prints of maps spanning St. Louis history from the 1760s to the present day.

The cookbook celebrates the state’s many ethnicities and cultures and puts it on your plate.

James Aylott’s new novel “Tales of Whiskey Tango from Misery Towers” is based on the lives of the author’s new neighbors after his family relocated from Hawaii to downtown St. Louis. The book chronicles the adventures of 11 ordinary St. Louisans during the summer of 2019.
