W.W. Norton & Co. has republished André Kertész’s classic “On Reading,” with an introduction by Robert Gurbo. Thirty-four years after its initial publication, readers can again visit 68 of Kertész’s images taken between 1912 and 1970.

The book was conceived in 1963, when Kertész discovered an early photograph of his from 1912, depicting three little boys hunched over a book. “On Reading” celebrates people in various cultures engaged in the intimate act of reading.

“On Reading” is available in hardcover for $29.95.
