R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country | 
At work, and made an absolute effort of will to turn off my screen for 15 minutes and eat my lunch with a quick read (and Litsy update), rather than working through as usual. Decompressing!
This is a lovely little book: reproductions of a trading card series of early 20th Century musicians. Crumb based his art on old photographs, so they have a naturalistic rather than cartoon style. The text had to fit on the back of a card, so necessarily brief.
