This book is so amazing, I'd never heard of Todd Selby before, but now I'm a great fan of his work.If you liked this book you really have to visit theselby.com, you can find a lot of more pictures besides the ones that appear in the book. At first I thought it would only be a book about hipster people hanging at their house, but the pictures are really great, the stuff they own is amazing and you actually feel that you know that people. This is the perfect book to have in your living room table. Sometimes I like to read about how the other half lives. By which I mean hipsters. And for that, this book is amazing. Two roughly dressed men stand in front of a wall of VHS tapes throwing papers in to an honest to god indoor trash can fire. They are also wearing hats and sunglasses indoors. Two entirely different men sit, posed, in all white clothing in an all white apartment. Everything is white, down to the fucking cat. This book is almost too much. You think, "No one actually lives like this. No one can possibly like taxidermy animals that much." But the homes are too studied not to be real. No one could fake the earnest, fervently "artistic" sincerity of this photographic evidence. Never before have I wanted to buy a coffee table book so badly.
Do You like book The Selby Is In Your Place (2010)?
An interesting look at unusual people and their eccentric, cluttered lives.

Good book but my preference would be the website over the book.
