From the inside page:
"This is a collection of photos shot at the end of 2016 and early 2017. I have the need to say that it was shot on 35mm Tri-X film, and it is also a restart of my film photography work which began in 1986 until around 1996 when my entirety of camera gear was burglarized. Of course I used film for the earlier days of Giant Robot, but those were quick jobs and often not memorable. With digital photography and cellphones being so easy to use, I never thought I'd go back to film. My favorite subjects are starting to become evident, and there are days when I shoot a lot and then there are weeks in between touching the camera. I'll admit I've witnessed plenty of moments pass by and that's how it goes."

I'll Get to the Bottom of This! by Daniel Kwan (Illustrated by Sean Lewis)
Hardcover, 76 pages, 12 x 8.75 inches.
One of two new children's books from Everything Everywhere All at Once director Daniel Kwan, I'll Get to the Bottom of This! tells the story of a rhyming dog detective who sets out to discover who's to blame for a multi-car pileup that has drivers trapped in a tunnel.
Illustrated by Sean Lewis, this story of overcoming differences to find a common solution gets the Daniel Kwan treatment: the detective takes his line of questioning so far that he enters a suspect’s body to question her organs, her brain, and her electrons, before being spat out into the universe in order to question the origin of cosmic energy itself.
With a fun and lively rhyming story, and illustrations chock full of Easter eggs, kids and parents alike will love reading I'll Get to the Bottom of This! aloud and exploring its immersive world.
Images of America: Sawtelle - West Los Angeles's Japantown
Softcover, 126 pages, 6.5 x 9/25 inches.
This book is full of high quality historical photos of Sawtelle Japantown, Giant Robot's home, paired with informative written captions for each image.
Written on the back cover:
A 1.48-square-mile piece of unincorporated Los Angeles County when it was annexed by the City of Los Angeles in 1922, tiny Sawtelle has lived very large in the hearts and minds of Japanese Americans. Their homes, livelihoods, religions, businesses, language, and other ethnocentric and social involvements are rooted in the area, with the Japanese Institute of Sawtelle as the cultural nexus. Bisected by Sawtelle Boulevard, this particular Japantown flourished through a close-knit network of immigrants who were denied citizenship until 1952 and were excluded by law from land ownership. Only through second-generation, American-born children could they buy real property. These vintage images--collected from local families, businesses, and organizations--provide rare glimpses into the Japanese immigrant experience in Los Angeles.
