The street photography of Vivian Maier made a sensation when her cache of photos was discovered and the images began to be made public early last year. NYM story with links.

Heather Murphy, in Slate, reports that two books have already appeared: Vivian Maier: Street Photographer published late last year, to be joined next week by Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows.

The new book is a compilation of images from rolls of film which the photographer never even printed (!). As usual, her work is completely fascinating.
