ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Tom Bianchi has long been acclaimed for his masterful and ground-breaking photos of the male nude. Now, with Among Women, Bianchi proves himself equal to the task of capturing women's relationships - between friends, between mother and daughter, between sisters, between lovers - in all their affectionate and generous love. In collaboration with the women in this book, Bianchi has thrown out the old cliches and roles into which women are usually cast and broken new ground in this exploration of the female nude.
By inviting these women to be portrayed as they wished to be seen, Bianchi provided them a comfortable stage on which to be themselves and, as a result, was rewarded with wonderfully varied and compellingly rich portraits. Marked by an independent spirit and the subjects' confident strength in their physical presence, the work in Bianchi's Among Women is perhaps his strongest to date.(Publisher).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
