“What makes Double Click such a revelation is Carol Kino’s precise and engaging narrative. An exquisitely intimate portrait of the McLaughlin sisters and their work, this is a beautiful biography, richly detailed and full of life. A remarkable accomplishment.”  
—Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove 
 

“Carol Kino’s Double Click is a fascinating, rich, and beautifully written tale of two twentieth century women photographers navigating a world of images that focused on women in front of the camera without encouraging them to step behind it. . . . Kino has written a story that is inspirational and thrilling. Double Click is a joy to read.” 
—Mary Gabriel, author of Ninth Street Women and Madonna: A Rebel Life 
 
 
“Carol Kino presents a lively, much-needed double biography of the female twin photographers whose careers flourished magnificently during wartime and who then had to adapt once the men came home. A unique, and uniquely female, window into the mid-twentieth-century art world in New York.” 
—Sherill Tippins, author of February House 
 
 
“I came to this book excited to learn about the fascinating twin female photographers of the Forties, but I discovered so much more.  Carol Kino taught me about photographic technologies and techniques, the history of industrial design in America, and the fun, early days of the 'college craze' in fashion and magazines. Double Click is much more than a biography times two, it is a historical work times ten!” 
—Becky E. Conekin, author of Lee Miller in Fashion 
 
 
“In Double Click, Carol Kino tells the riveting story of Frances and Kathryn McLaughlin, Brooklyn-born identical twin photographers who came of age in the 1930s and went on to infiltrate the male-dominated ranks of their profession. . . . It’s an extraordinary tale, one Kino deftly places into social and historical context, including World War II, the history of photography, fashion trends, and the rise of feminism.” 
—Penelope Rowlands, author of A Dash of Daring 

“With this double biography of the McLaughlin twins, Carol Kino has uncovered a fascinating slice of 20th century photography and magazine publishing…[she] reveals just what it took for the pair to thrive in a man’s world, using the story of their successes and their challenges to restore a pair of female creators to their rightful place in the pantheon.”
—William Middleton, author of Paradise Now and Double Vision
