In this episode of The Photo Detective, Maureen Taylor welcomes historian Evan Friss, author of The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore. Friss dives deep into the evolution of bookstores in America—from colonial times to the digital age. He shares fascinating insights into their cultural, political, and communal roles throughout history.  Early American bookstores were cultural and political hubs, vital for disseminating revolutionary ideas and classic literature, despite also selling sundry items. Bookstores evolved from general goods shops to genre-specific havens—feminist, radical, and neighborhood staples—such as NYC's famous “Book Row.” Bookstores act as “third spaces,” offering connection, events, and literary engagement beyond just book sales. Independent bookstores face small profit margins, rising ebook popularity, and competition from Amazon, yet persist through innovation and community support.Related Episodes:Episode 198: A Sewing Girl's Tale with Author John Wood SweetEpisode 189: Historical Fiction Revealed with Carrie Deming of The Dog Eared Book Links:Evan FrissSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Need help preserving your photos?

A month after the Luka Dončić trade, the Dallas Mavericks traveled to Los Angeles to face off against the Lakers. Jason and Steve Kim point out that despite the Lakers' 107-99 victory, the Mavericks showed signs of dominance — even with Anthony Davis still recovering from injury. During the game, many Lakers fans started a “Thank you, Nico” chant, referring to the Dallas Mavericks' general manager, who is widely blamed for greenlighting the Doncic trade. But should he really take the fall? In other news, President Trump has extended an invitation to the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House. WNBA star and surefire Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi has officially retired from basketball. But if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound? Meanwhile, sports gambling has spiraled out of control, and NIL has created a breeding ground for widespread corruption. Yet the media refuse to address it — because they're in bed with the sharks. On the non-sports side, Zaya Wade, the transgender son of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, graces the cover of Seventeen magazine. Joy Reid has been fired from MSNBC, and the network doubled down on DEI-driven minority hires with the likes of Eugene Daniels and Symone Sanders. Texas Democrat Rep.
