The book is by Nathalie Boulouch. It's based on her doctoral thesis which I
saw at the Société Française de Photographie last year. I just pulled this
out of my notes:
>Les Autochrome Lumières (collection privée de la famille Lumière)
>"Préface: Monsieur Maurice Trarieux-Lumière, petit-fils de Louis Lumière.
>Textes: Mademoiselle Nathalie Boulouch, Docteur en Histoire de l'Art,
>auteur d'une thèse sur l'Autochrome à l'Université Paris I.
>Conception et direction artistique: Monsieur Alain Scheibli.
>Conception graphique: Monsieur Eric Malarte.
>Réalisation: Alain Scheibli Editions.
>Cet ouvrage de réference de l'autochromie, format 28*32 cm."
>Alain Scheibli Editions
>120, rue de Sèze
>69006 Lyon, France
The latter is the publisher's address. Expect to pay about 600FF +shipping.
This book must have cost a fortune to produce.
