This collection of photographs by James and Karla Murray celebrates New York City's unique history and culture, focusing on the small shops that are rapidly disappearing.
The husband-and-wife photography duo has been documenting and preserving these establishments for decades, capturing the authenticity of a culture that is at risk of being lost.
The book includes reproductions of images from their previous works as well as never-before-published photos. Organized by each of the city's five boroughs, the chapters feature descriptions and maps.
The large-format book is filled with colorful and detailed images, providing a nostalgic and affectionate look at the charm and history of small urban retail in New York City.
