According to Hibernaculum, Bookcourt on Court Street in the Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn is currently offering a 3-for-1 deal on NYRB Classics. But this is all really just an excuse to post this gorgeous photograph of the books the site's author purchased. Oh, for a little of that golden light in our white box of an office!
Bookcourt's site also has a bunch of photographs of the construction of its welcome expansion.
Not too long ago Debi Alper put a call out for unlikely pairings of readers and books (the tattoo-artist reading Wuthering Heights, a homeless man reading Jeffrey Archer, etc.), well, here we have our very own surprising combination: Carebears™ and NYRB Classics. Visit Dark Orpheus to find out which books these stuffed animals are sitting on.
As the first person to heed our call for pictures of their own NYRB Classics, Imani gets the honors of the first post. She also gets props for having both volumes of the Human Predicament series by Richard Hughes (author of A High Wind in Jamaica), about two families'—one British, the other German—experiences with Nazism in the stack: The Fox in the Attic and The Wooden Shepherdess.
