"Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer: The Beauty Supply District"

"Very fine, new, clean, crisp and unread in fresh illustrated boards, textured black spine with silver titles, issued without dust jacket. This extraordinary graphic novel is structured in comic book panels drawn in ink and wash that illustrate the wonderfully strange and hilarious conceits. Ben Katchor provides a delicious experience with each one of his original graphic novels."

From Publisher:

Julius Knipl (the word means nest egg in Yiddish) is short, overweight, and of an uncertain age. He wouldn't dream of going out into the street without a tie, jacket, and fedora. His devotion to conventional dress, his thin mustache, and his acceptance of his marginal existence suggests that he actually belongs to a vanished generation. Although Knipl is never without his camera, he seldom takes photographs. His function is to observe, reflect, and in the course of his small adventures, catalogue aspects of city life that elicit nostalgia. The city in which Julius Knipl lives, loafs, and perambulates is the nirvana of luncheonettes, the Atlantis of wholesale novelty showrooms, the Valhalla of one desk syndicates, the El Dorado of second story friendship-league lecture halls.
