I finally ordered the book! I found it used on Amazon, says like new, for a fraction of the cost, am very excited! In case anyone is wondering, here is the book: "Hisotry of Photography" by Beaumont Newhall Paperback Revised edition (October 1982) Little Brown & Co (Pap); ISBN: 0870703811 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.90 x 11.02 x 8.27 the last photography book I got was on Man Ray, so this is very exciting to me. Maybe we could put something on the web site about the history of photography. syyd

Enjoy!
