This week’s photo preview for Paperback LA Book 1, A Casual Anthology: Clothes. Coffee. Crushes. Crime. a witty take on the witty art at Central Library, thanks to the exuberant 1993 restoration of the 1926 landmark. Photographer Robert Landau‘s elegant composition includes a lunchtime wink of relaxation. Very LA.
Check back next week for another photo surprise, part of our warm-up to the May 26, 2018 launch party for Paperback LA, a new anthology of work about Los Angeles. We’re sharing some pictures that are not in the book, most of them gone now from the cityscape.
