Photo from the sidewalk of the Wolfe & Kron Books storefront. Above a large window and the front door is a white sign with black writing that says "Wolfe & Kron Books | Show some spine. | Get Shelved." and a logo of a stack of books. To the right of the store window is a wall mounted flag pole with a Progress Pride flag. Below the flag is a sandwich board that says "It's not book hoarding if it's your carbon offset." The door to the store is propped open and there are books displayed in the window.

This pairing makes sense, right?

Books on a wooden shelf in front of a brick wall. On the left is "Moonflow" a splatter-punk trans horror novel by Bitter Karella. The cover is hot-pink, red, blue, and white with a 70s acid feel picture of a woman with mushrooms growing out of her and skull above. On the right is "The Princess Bride" a fantasy by William Goldman, best known for its movie adaptation featuring Mandy Patinkin, André the Giant (among others). The cover is olive green with gold details and the edges are stenciled.

We've been going for 17 months! And I know that because there are 17 essays that you can currently read for free! Time travel & trauma; Star Trek and "diversity" (or not); nationalist myths in Tolkien; Renaissance lady knights; magic as infrastructure...

Thank YOU @etchfilm.bsky.social for telling stories we need to hear, and y'all were AWESOME making the store look so pretty!

Huge thanks to @wolfeandkronbooks.com for letting us take over (and for putting up with a small army of light stands, gear cases, and tangled cords). You didn’t just host the shoot, you became part of the story.

There's some tea on that topic that's yet to be sipped—never mind spilled.

Who do you think will still have all the banned books in stock? Particularly the ones that Publishers decide to shadow-ban, conveniently doing a shorter print run, or never offering a second edition. Good luck to the government purging our un-inventoried backstock!
