In a departure from the colorful still life photographs he is known for, artist Sam Falls brings together a series of black and white images for the first time in his limited-edition artist book Visible Library. With a large format camera and a few boxes of expired film, Falls spent a day making these beautiful and haunting pictures in the stacks above the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Like “walking alone in the woods,” as he refers to it, Falls created what can easily be considered his most intimate body of work, a personal meditation on art, history, preservation and the photographic medium.

We are a nomadic art book store currently located in Cleveland, OH. We specialize in independently made and produced photography books.
Nomadic Bookshelf was spurred by an interest in art book collecting and the lack of independent art book stores. We focus on publishers and photographers who are actively making and promoting their work through the book format while stimulating a conversation about contemporary photography.
