I have had a copy of this book for a couple of years now and have found it quite informative.  Also nice illustrations.

	When I opened my holiday presents I discovered that I received a wonderful gift. It was a book,"The Camera - A history of photography from Daguerrotype to Digital" by Todd Gustavson, technical curator of the George Eastman museum. It contains large glossy photographs of just about every camera from Fox Talbot's camera obscura to the Leica M8 plus many historic photographs taken by them. The book is a massive tome of 360 heavy glossy pages, 12" x 10" in size, guaranteed to challenge any coffee table. I was very impressed with the book and was happy to identify some of the many cameras pictured that I had owned at one time or another..
	My grand daughter later confessed that she had bought the book at Barnes and Noble at the sale price of $14.95 USD. A real bargain!. B&N may still have copies at the sale price. If any of you want a copy it is ISBN 978-1-4351-5324-0.
	I highly recommend it.
