Store Front (Mini) is a new, com­pact ver­si­on of the cri­ti­cal­ly acc­lai­med best­sel­ler Store Front: The Disap­pearing Face of New York, by James and Kar­la Murray.

The Mur­rays’ bril­li­ant docu­men­ta­ti­on of New York’s irre­pla­ce­ab­le, genera­ti­ons-old store­fronts has made head­lines all over the world. For many of the­se estab­lish­ments, the pho­to­graphs mark the end of a legacy.

In the wake of gen­tri­fi­ca­ti­on, vital facets of New York’s cul­tu­ral heri­ta­ge are disap­pearing at an alar­ming rate. Store Front (Mini) immer­ses the rea­der in a vir­tu­al tour of NYC at its most authentic.

From tiny stores tucked away on nar­row side streets to well-known insti­tu­ti­ons on his­to­ric ave­nues, this book pres­ents the indi­vi­du­al images and shop owner sto­ries that tog­e­ther make up a collec­ti­ve history.

Up until now, the­re has been litt­le atten­ti­on paid to New York’s store­fronts; this book rever­ses that gla­ring omis­si­on and makes clear that the spi­rit of New York City is etched in its facades.
