Hubert’s Freaks:  The Rare Book Dealer, The Times Square Talk, and the Lost Photos of Diane Arbus

Gregory Gibson

Harcourt, Orlando, 2008. First edition.

Slight soiling to the top edge of the text block; dust jacket has a few wrinkles, a very good copy.

 

An incredible story about the rare book dealer Bob Langmuir’s acquisition of a trunk full of old Diane Arbus photos from her time with Hubert’s Dime Museum and Flea Circus. There’s something for everyone in this book; a rapid-fire narrative on the thrill of the hunt; a history lesson on the old Times Square; the harrowing story of dealing with estates of artists long gone. Absolutely worth your time.
