RE: Truth Beauty book
To all interested in this book, This maybe just pure speculation but this title was featured on Mike Johnson's blog, The Online Photographer, Feb. 9th, 2009, by guest contributor Geoff Wittig. http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2009/02/boo ks-for-what-ails-you.html Mike regularly features or highlights brief reviews of niche fine art photography books and this seems to occasionally cause a run on some of the titles, creating temporary shortages on websites such as Amazon.com. Amazon seems to base prices of some merchandise on the recent demand and supply of an item causing huge spikes in the selling price compared to the normal list price. If you are a frequent reader of the Online Photographer blog you may have read some of Mike's comments about this consequence in the past. Carl Weese, once a frequent poster to the Alternative Photo Process List, occasionally contributes there as well as other notable and un-notable names of photography. A great blog to place on your favorites list.

Thanks to Jeremy Moore, I have the book in hand... that is, I travelled to the upper east side on Jeremy's tip and Ursus (which I'd never heard of) actually had a copy (confirmed first by phone) & might conceivably have another. I bought it without opening (after all, going above 14th Street is greater trauma than any price), but when I did look, just the first two beautiful pages confirmed the effort... Now I shall turn every page, then forward to Barbados. cheers, Judy
