Whether you’re reading this when it’s fresh, or whether you’ve come across it months after posting… when one needs to make purchases by a hard deadline, any sort of help is welcome.

Let’s begin with the glowing items:

On to books. Books are always good.

Another monograph we’ve been anticipating, for a year or more, is Vivian Maier: Street Photographer
by Vivian Maier, John Maloof and Geoff Dyer (hmm… didn’t know Mr. Dyer was involved; good).

Personally, all I want for Xtol Xmas is more film & paper and the time to ruin it. (And maybe a $2500 gift card.)
Happy armchair surf-shopping!
