About Books, August 30, 2008

Gregory Gibson, a book collector and dealer, is the author of "Hubert's Freaks," the story of another rare book dealer, Bob Langmuir. Bob starts collecting black Americana and learns about a Times Square freak show called Hubert's at a trunk show sale. In the trunk that Bob buys he discovers never-before-seen photographic prints by Diane Arbus. Bob's adventures in book dealing, combating depression, interviewing freaks and validating the Arbus photos make for one heck of a read.
