Book Display - Photography

May is National Photography Month. I'm a big fan of "Life" and "National Geographic" so I tossed in a few of those publications, and included some info on how to organize, restore, and preserve family photos. And, along with breathtaking nature shots, of course I put out some beautiful Nebraska collections.
