Latest Addition to The Spill Library
Not a cartoon in sight, but that’s never stopped me from adding something as interesting as this 2007 Sylvia Plachy collection of photographs to the Spill library. The title, Goings On About Town: Photographs For The New Yorker (and Mark Singer‘s Foreword and Elisabeth Biondi‘s Afterword) tilted the needle to “acquire.” Needless to say, Ms. Plachy’s photographs are terrific.
