I simply love Thanksgiving. It is about a full house, people spilling out of rooms or lounging on rarely used furniture and children playing with the Tonka trucks, Matchbook cars and baseball cards their fathers loved. There is the general sense of chaos in a usually quiet household of two adults and one small dog.

I was fortunate to catch the last day of the exhibition, SELLING the DWELLING, The Books that Built America’s Houses, 1775-2000, at the Grolier Club in New York.  Richard Cheek, exhibition curator and author of the accompanying book, is a photographer who records the visual history of America’s architecture as well as a bibliophile.
