I Don't Mean a Thing is the second volume in The Gould Collection, a series of books that brings together contemporary photographers with short story and prose writers.

Volume two presents photographs by Saul Leiter with the story I Don't Mean a Thing by Paul Auster. Black-and-white color photographs by Leiter from 1947 through the 1970s - with many images never before published - are paired with Auster's tale of interlinked events and chance encounters. Reflections on New York City, its urban rhythm, people and places, feature prominently in both artist's work and provide a unifying focus for the book.
