I recently did a series of 10 Days of Bookshelf Inspiration on my Tough Guy Goods Instagram page (comprising eleven photos because I cheated), spotlighting some of the monographs, graphic novels, and other pop culture books to which I reach for inspiration (visual or otherwise) on a practically daily basis. I thought I'd plop these pics here because why not?
