The warm cozy cover and raw exposed spine of Camps by Charlie Hailey, The MIT Press, 2009

…the great newish book by Charlie Hailey from MIT Press just arrived in the mail – which I had first heard about last year as a submission to A Library for the Future – is a beautiful object to look at and to open and to hold in your hands, which provides an amazing survey of camps (not Sontag camp) which I am eager to devour given my recent camping related activities.
