    Hi JC, Are you willing to sell your "Richard Avedon...in the American West. I saw this book at in SF MOMA and should have bought it for my husband when it was republished. We're getting back to BW basics shooting 8x10 and 4 x 5 BW film. It's a book I wanted to get for my husband and not currently available but many insane people are trying to fetch a large amount for this. Let me know if you would like to sell it.

    Thanks, from what you 'pulled' off it seems he was around early Henry 8th period or perhaps Henry 7th to Henry 8th which probablay had a bearing on our history too.

    I like the kindle very much as i can male the words larger , my eyesight is not so good in the one remaing good ryr. I bought a little light for it but it isn't that good. It is not Amazon's own Kindle light which is very expensive but might in the long run be worth it. I don't have space for small lamps so there are only certins times and light conditions when I can rerad with it., I have however read The Red Queen on it (the Lancastriabn side of the Wars of the Roses) but have lots of classic novels for me to wade through at the moment as theye did not cost me anything. Who was Charles 5th?
    Take care

    I hope you will take the time to view my YouTube book trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-t0K34iU6g. I am doing some research about potential characters to play the lead role in the upcoming movie. Hope you can help me out. As Ralph Eggleston Director/Production Designer of Pixar Animation Studios said,
    "I LOVED the book! It's a missing, ENDLESSLY fascinating link to the history of Hollywood. Thank you for researching and writing it!! I hope it's been widely well received, as it deserves to be." Best wishes. Gaelyn

    No, I have not read Enders like you i have been reading other things and favourites, right now I am catching up on making Christmas cards so not much reading time available. My reading world expanded some years ago when i did my 'A' levels in Eng. Lit. long long overdue. This encouraged me to expand my narrow horizons out of the sci-fi world. Still like it though. may try your recommend after Christmas from the library, Evelyn S
