The American Barbershop -A Closer Look at a Dispearing Place By Mic Hunter

Welcome to a light-hearted affectionate look at a classic American place: the Barbershop! Through entertaining photos and text author Mic Hunter explores this fondly-remembered world of familiar smells, strewn hair clippings and good conversations - a place of being just a "regular guy." For over a decade Hunter, a widely-published psychologist, has pursued a commitment to document the life of small gradually disappearing traditional barbershops around the country. The photos celbrate the wonders of ordinary places. The stories recall the soothing snip of scissors, the hum of the clippers, the idle talk and the banter - all pleasures of a visit to the neighborly barber.
