Either Daguerre vs Talbot (or maybe post 911 USA and W pre
Sarkozy). Sorry if that doesn't make sense. One to many birthday manhattans
this evening.

if you could believe, a FRENCHMAN! English edition: 1998.
Why does that fact merit
being yelled out? Is there something odd about
this?

This
includes a wider swathe than any of the others... Contributors listed
range from Pierre Albert, Stuart Alexander, Peter Bunnell, Ian Jeffrey,
Molly Nesbit, Shelley Rice, Fred Richin, Pierre Vaisse, Mike Weaver and
Colin Westerbeck... and those are just the names I was most familiar
with... Lots of others.
Tho then again, my hunch is the
school doesn't want something that "worldly", but rather the USA as "the
world" ??? Meanwhile, either of these books might be found used, and
(different & delicious) gems for any library.
I open at random
to page 265 of the Frizot to find a small inset, "Types of Russian Female
Criminals."
Who could ask for anything
more?
