Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation by Ian Failes
There's nothing like a Saturday morning trip to the local barbershop, where people young and old can go for the perfect cut and have some great conversation. Author and photographer Charles R. Smith, Jr. invites readers to The Barber King, a local barbershop that brings him back to the days when he was a child visiting the barbershop with his father and grandfather. The book, dedicated to his grandfather, Richard Bain, who owned a barbershop in Compton, California, shows customers enjoying the experience of being in a local barbershop. Sammy, Ramon, and Curtis welcome their customers to not only haircuts, but provide an atmosphere of community growth and discussion. Whether it's discussing the previous day's sports outcomes, offering advice to youngsters, or even helping to make a book selection from their little free library, the barbers at The Barber King provide a great space for folks to interact with each other.
