Remember those photo books I told you about the other day? The first collection (seven boxes) is now up in the shop and on display.
The shop is Kensington Row Bookshop, 3786 Howard Avenue in Kensington, about 100 yards east of Connecticut Avenue, first right turn after the Safeway, in the first block of the business district. It's open 11–5 Tuesday–Saturday, 11–4 Sunday, and closed Monday. Plenty of free street parking within easy walking distance.
The window display includes five posters of first edition photo dust jackets: Capa's Death in the Making; Lange's An American Exodus; Agee & Evans' Let Us Now Praise Famous Men; Margaret Bourke-White's Say, This Is The USA!; and Berenice Abbott's Greenwich Village, Today and Yesterday.
The second collection has the same quality but the titles are generally a bit older. No telling when those will be along. It's probably a matter of the available space—it usually is in small bookshops.
Hope this is of benefit to somebody, and I hope all of you not in the DC area will please forgive this momentary intrusion.
