Marfa Book
Back in 2013, I posted this shot of the Marfa Book Company’s window. Since then, the store’s gotten a new space (but the same location!), and the backwards letters are still there. How about that!

Bookstore reflections (Marfa)
The low winter sun slants through the window at the Marfa Book Company, casting a shadow on the concrete floor.
Two things of note about the Marfa Book Company:
1. They have one of the best sections of architectural books I have ever seen.
2. And, once, when I was trying to find a copy of a book called The Ruins of Detroit, I ended up ordering it from Germany. Then, on my very next visit to Marfa, there it was, on a table waiting for someone like me to come along. Only, by then, I didn’t need it.

Oh, Marfa
I just returned from a trip to my favorite part of Texas. This is a tease of what’s to come – a nice little place I spotted in the tiny town (with a big reputation) of Marfa, Texas. My traveling buddy and I had some lunch at the famous Food Shark, checked out the Marfa Book Company, then spent a few hours walking the town.
You can probably imagine what was my favorite part….
Stay tuned for more photos from the trip. I have enough to last a long, long time.
