I am seeking a book I from eight to 10 years ago. It was not specifically
intended for school libraries but ours had it at the time (I was a teacher
in another school) and I'd love to have it in mine now.

It was a compilation of striking (of course) black and white portrait
photographs of women, most (all?) African-American, with brief/one page
commentary for each. The photographer/author was a white male. I mention
this because publicity concerning the book often made as much about his
characteristics as the book itself. I seem to remember a television program
about the book (PBS?).

It was less than an inch thick, approximately 11" tall and 12" wide, and
white with one of the portraits on the cover with its title.

Every one loved this book, especially the kids. I can hardly believe I'd
forgotten it.

Reply to me and I'll post the title to the group.
