In a world increasingly shaped by fleeting digital interactions, people need more tangible aesthetic experiences. Photography books hold a unique place in the world of storytelling, serving as a powerful medium to capture, preserve, and share.
Unlike most work inside of gallery exhibitions, photo books are tangible, affordable, and portable. They can easily fold into everyday life, making them more available to engage with on a day-to-day basis. Whether displayed on a coffee table, tucked into a bag, shared in a classroom, or sitting on the shelf of a living room, photo books play a role in democratizing art with their ownership positioned in reach of a broader audience.
In addition, they occupy a unique space in the world of art books as they often increase in value over time. Because of the explosion of digital technology, we are living in a moment where photography books are more accessible and exciting than they have ever been.
The Barbershop is proud to provide a highly curated collection of photography books to the Detroit market. You will find both new and pre-owned, books along with select zine’s—all available to add to your personal library.

Near Fine: A book approaching Fine (or As New) but with a couple of very minor defects or faults, which must be noted by the seller
