store front
Lucky me got this fabulous book 'Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York' as a gift from a client last week and I can't recommend it highly enough. It was on my wish-list but I had no idea it was so big and beautiful and am completely in love with it. Authors, James and Karla Murray also have a Flickr page where you can view some of the photographs. Over two-hundred store fronts are featured in the book and almost half are now gone.

I saw this book in NY and was going to to buy it (my dad's name was Ralph, so obviously I love the cover!), it's fantastic - just a bit big and heavy to carry home. Maybe I'll try Amazon!!
TNMA: No wonder the cover got your attention! You won't regret it, promise.
This book looks amazing. Have just been wistfully loving NYC from afar this evening...will go check out the deets.
aahh I love NYC - will take a peek. I love images like this! xx

Going to check amazon as I type this. :)
You will have a "small" piece of history in your hands. that's a shame that most of these stores are gone.
beautiful image.
This is totally my kind of book. I got something very similar from the Southbank Centre shop. Its about London Caffs (of which I am an avid frequenter).
Elizabeth, do you mean this one? My fabulous client gave me that, too. It's very charming.
Haha! Yes, that is exactly it. I love that book and never get bored of flicking through it. You have a very generous client with great taste!
Fab - I can't wait to get to it. Today, let us give thanks for the Amazon wish list.
this is a great present... i should add it to my wish list to see if i get it on my B-Day... ha!
