{"product_id":"9781609800963","title":"Booked: The Last 150 Years Told through Mug Shots","description":"Every year twelve million Americans are arrested and photographed by the police. In many ways, mug shots are our history. Using a dazzling selection of mug shots that are arrestingly raw in their starkness and strangely eloquent in their simplicity, this absorbing, humorous, often bewildering collection sheds a whole new light on our rebellious century.\u003cbr\u003eFrom political icons Martin Luther King Jr.and Angela Davis, to A-list celebrities Hugh Grant and 50 Cent, from killer Ted Kaczynski to the actor who aided in Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, from prisoners of Auschwitz to a bearded Saddam Hussein, all of them declare a simple truth: The last 150 years told through police photography is truly an alternative history. Author Giacomo Papi’s brisk and insightful commentary enlightens us with intriguing backstories and little-known facts.\u003cbr\u003eA feast for the eyes and the mind, Booked presents an ingenious and utterly unique snapshot of our times.","brand":"Seven Stories Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151354970352,"sku":"9781609800963","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609800963_p0.jpg?v=1763836095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609800963","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
