Humans of New York

By Brandon Stanton
Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Based on the blog with more than four million loyal fans, a beautiful, heartfelt, funny, and inspiring collection of photographs and stories capturing the spirit of a city

Now an instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Humans of New York began in the summer of 2010, when photographer Brandon Stanton set out to create a photographic census of New York City. Armed with his camera, he began crisscrossing the city, covering thousands of miles on foot, all in an attempt to capture New Yorkers and their stories. The result of these efforts was a vibrant blog he called "Humans of New York," in which his photos were featured alongside quotes and anecdotes.

The blog has steadily grown, now boasting millions of devoted followers. Humans of New York is the book inspired by the blog. With four hundred color photos, including exclusive portraits and all-new stories, Humans of New York is a stunning collection of images that showcases the outsized personalities of New York.

Surprising and moving, printed in a beautiful full-color, hardbound edition, Humans of New York is a celebration of individuality and a tribute to the spirit of the city.


With 400 full-color photos and a distinctive vellum jacket

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“This is one of my favorite thrifted finds! I wasn’t expecting to love this book so much and I definitely wasn’t expecting it to make me cry! I think it’s an incredible collection of photography, heart and the human spirit. Going through the pages was like a giant boost of serotonin. Humans can be so cool.”
“One of the most touching things I've ever read”
