Take a look at the book -- it has some of photographer Brandon Stanton's favorite shots and moments since he began taking pictures of strangers on the streets of New York in 2010.

"Visually arresting and disarmingly deep... The photographs in this volume, some of which have never been published before, capture the city’s inhabitants with a commendable eye for demographic diversity and everyday street fashion. But it’s Stanton’s interviews with his subjects, usually excerpted from their rawest moments, that are the most captivating as they highlight both the hardship and the little victories of an often-unforgiving city." —The Atlantic
