Comic Genius
People say laughter is the best medicine, and in the case of Comic Genius: Portraits of Funny People ($29), that's certainly true. Featuring portraits and first-person essays from comedic legends including Steve Martin, Steve Carrell, Eddie Murphy, and Tina Fey, this book is a work of photographic art, providing a first-hand study into what makes these comedians the people they are. Proceeds from the sales of each book go to Save the Children, an organization helping provide Syria's children the basic needs of food, care, and protection. And if you're feeling particularly in the giving spirit, check out the benefit auction for prints of the artwork featured on these pages.
