Available for PRE-ORDER! STORE FRONT II - A HISTORY PRESERVED MINI Edition

BOOK EVENT this Sunday: Community Conversations: Village Round Table
November 19, 2017, 1:30 p.m. at the Jefferson Market Library
FREE Link to register below...

James and Karla Murray’s classic tome from their ongoing Store Front series is now available (Dec 2017) for the first time in its covetable “mini” format. The Murrays have been capturing impeccable photographs from the streets of New York City since the 1990s. With Store Front II they’ve continued their documentation of an important cross-section of New York’s “Mom and Pop” economy. The Murray’s penetrating photographs are only half the story though. Their copious background texts, gleaned largely from interviews with the stores’ owners and employees, bring wonderful color and nuance to the importance of these unique one-off establishments.
