Unforgettable Forgotten Faces

OK, first I have to confess that I haven't even read this book yet. I've just ordered it. But I'm captivated by its topic.

I've always been intrigued by cemeteries and tombstones in general, but tombstones with photos of the dearly departed? They're fascinating. And for those of us with fairly recent immigrants in our families, they sometimes provide the only image of an ancestor we'll ever see.

Well, Forgotten Faces: A Window into Our Immigrant Past (go here for a preview), is full of exactly these kinds of images. Yes, it's on the expensive side (about $50), but I have to have this book! So I thought I'd share it in case there are others out there who share similar interests (obsessions?).
