[Ellen Church · Rating 4 out of 5]

I couldn't resist opening this book found in a donation bin at the local library. It is a collection of photos taken in 1927, almost all unknown dance hall women, posing with a cigarette for the photographer. A sentence about who each woman was is at the back of the book, except for the few who remain unknown because the photographer forgot their names.
