Photo is of a coffeeshop booth with red padding. On the dark wooden table is the orangish red hardback book with the title on what is intended to look like a ripped page of a diagnosis from the DSM. It reads "AN INSIDER'S REVOLT AGAINST OUT-OF-CONTROL PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS, DSM-5, BIG PHARMA, & THE MEDICALIZATION OF ORDINARY LIFE". To the right is a white coffee cup & saucer with the shop's name on it and light green borders. The back of a patron's head can be seen in a booth in the distance as can an anime cut out against the wall

Photo is of a table inside the cafe. The paperback book features an illustration of a short-haired Japanese woman in a light green kimono with maroon & dark green swipes of color through out and an orange bow with tiny white dots above a beige obi with similar colored swipes. She has the ear piece of an old school telephone against her left ear with her other hand on a notepad. The main title of the book, ELECTRIFIED VOICES, is above her in black except for the O which is a full red circle, like the Japanese national flag. Behind the book to the left is a white porcelain cup & saucer of black coffee with a tiny silver spoon in front. To the right is a white plate with a yellow cheesecake on it with a generous dollop of whipped cream behind it with a sprig of mint. A silver fork is in front

Photo is of the inside of the cafe. In the foreground is a white table with a white mug & saucer of black coffee. To the left is a small square grey plate with a chocolate chip cookie on it. Centered above both is the paperback book PROJECTING POLITICS. In the chair opposite is a brown shoulder bag. Further back is the back of a customer sitting. She is wearing a red hoodie & has short hair. In the furthest distance outside the cafe glass door, a blurry cyclist heading right can be seen on the street. To the right of the tables, the brown counter can be seen.
