Great American Christmas Book

In 2006, Overlook debuted The Weekend Book, an enchanting treasury of off-hours activities from the England of yesteryear. Now this famous publishing tradition moves to America, with an all-new look at the most American of holidays -- Christmas.

• The official ultimate Christmas feast, and a variety of drinks to wash it down with!
• Lavish illustrations!
• And much, much more.
