Book Report: Working Cats by Terry Deroy Gruber (1979)
It takes a strong man to buy a book of photography depicting cats and then to admit it on his blog, publically. At least that's what I tell myself before the beatings start.

This book focuses on cats in the workplace, mostly in New York City, in 1979. It's worth more for the backgrounds of the workplaces than the cats in the foreground. A liquor store that Ed McBain would have described. The window of a bodega looking out on the New York street. Broadway full of 1970s cars. That sort of thing. I think I'm turning into James Lileks. Moreso. Of course, I'm not scanning them and making a Web site dedicated to them. Yet.

Also, if you like kitties, this book has them. No chinchillas, though.
