Now I finally know who took some of these classic pics!

This is one of the most gorgeous collections of classic B & W Hollywood pics I've seen in a long time. Actually, "Hollywood" isn't exactly accurate, as the late Edward Quinn did most of his work in Europe; most of the photos were taken at Cannes (including, of course, the Cannes Film Festival) or on the Riviera in the 1950's and early 1960's. The book is a huge hardbound with most of the photos in full-page format, and the publishers cleverly printed the captions on a separate pullout (in multiple languages, withal!) so as not to take space away from the pictures. The thing is, if you get this book and look at it, you'll likely recognize several photos that you've known for years but never did know who took them. I identified photos of Jane Russell, Jeanne Crain and Gina Lollobrigida immediately, and there are tons of other classic stars in here. Highest recommendation!
