Women will be paid

Last month, for my birthday, my boyfriend gave me a copy of Marc Joseph’s New and Used, and I haven’t been able to look at bookstores, libraries, or record stores the same way since. I wasn’t aware of Joseph’s work, so the birthday present was not just this lovely book, but also an introduction to the photographer. I highly recommend both. If you’re a fan of Alec Soth’s Friday Poem posts (as I am), you’ll enjoy the poetry mixed in with the photographs (not to mention the short stories and essays—Jonathan Lethem, anyone?). Makes me want to go out and buy American Pitbull, too.

Meanwhile, here’s a library shot from this afternoon.
