Hi, just a note to say Snapshot Chronicles:Inventing the American Photo Album is by Stephanie Synder AND Barbara Levine (thats me!) and is about my collection of vernacular photo albums. Around The World (also mentioned in this list and and BIG thanks!) is the 2nd book on my collection. For more go to my website: projectb.com
