Literally: portraits of booksellers

Photographer Steve Kenward’s Literally is a series of portraits of booksellers in their native habitats (their bookstores). As a former member of the tribe myself, I recognize these for the fine specimens they are: magnificently nearsighted, slightly askew, and posed with the treasures they have personally assembled and arrayed for the public’s delectation. Each portrait is accompanied by a list of favorite books, which is the only part of this that rings hollow — a bookseller with only one favorite book is like a chef who only likes one dish. Impossible.
