"There are as many reasons to love a book as there are books and people who hold them. We can love them because they touch memory or imagination. We can love them because they call us to empathy and action. We can love them because they reveal something we have yet to consider. We can love them because they arrest time and allow us to see in detail what we normally rush by.

I am holding on my desk a book called Store Front NYC: Photographs of the City’s Independent Shops, Past and Present, by James T. and Karla L. Murray, with a foreword by Chris Stein. For all the reasons listed above, I love this book."
