Wanted to hep you all to it. Hardbound book with two hundred pages worth of reproductions of turn of the century postcards showing 'exotic' people of all types: Hindus, Native Americans, Pygmies, Zulus, and plenty of Polynesians. Fascinating and super-exploitative documentation from a century ago. Foreward by Theroux, whom I can take or leave... buy it for the photos... Amazon has it for $26 (cover price: $35). http://www.amazon.com/s/002-3893144-9320009?ie=UTF8&keywords=alan%20beukers&tag=tikiroadtrip-20&Go.x=0&index=blended&Go=Go&Go.y=0&link%5Fcode=qs [ Edited by: tikibars 2007-05-19 23:15 ]
