Being somewhat of a bibliophile it tends to distress me when books are injured. Yet I think it’s likely that James Mitchener’s Poland and this Marlon Brando biography are happier reincarnated as art installations on Graham ave. phone booths. These exploded paperbacks have been appearing around Brooklyn and the LES recently and tend to run for a week or two - due in part to the diligence of the anonymous installer who seems to have glued the case shut after trading out some horrid Sketchers ad for a piece of literature. Thumbs up.
