Universally loved, great book!!
This book was half price at Christmas and I bought a bunch to give as gifts. All of the recipients were delighted and I have gotten great feedback from people of many different ages and backgrounds. Everyone I gave them to absolutely loved these. The quality is amazing, heavy, beautiful paper, really gorgeous photography and the stories are wonderful. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t appreciate this series. One of the best gifts I have ever given.

I hope libraries carry this book in the future.
Great book! It has excerpts of some of the posts on social media that I’ve been following for years. The photos are top notch and the book itself is heavy and substantial. In a world of electronic reading devices, this is a nice change of pace that I look forward to sharing with people. I hope libraries pick up on this and add them to their collection.

Libro fantastico ma imballato male
Il libro è veramente bello e si merita 5 stelle. Peccato che Amazon l'abbia spedito in una busta di carta ed è arrivato con tutti gli angoli piegati e uno strappo. Richiesto il reso e quello sostitutivo è già in spedizione, vediamo come arriva *** Libro sostituito in due giorni e arrivato imballato meglio e senza danni

I’m an avid reader and Brandon’s books are some of my favorites! I found him many years ago on Facebook through his page "Humans of New York" and I have been a fan ever since. You won’t be disappointed the unique stories and pictures in this book!! :)
