Bill - Excellent idea.  Today i set out to Dryden, NY which is between
Cortland and Ithaca to visit a Barn Bookstore.  These are as you might
imagine Barns that have been converted into used bookstores.  i actually
found two - my intent was to take my M6 and noctilux and photograph in the
barns.  Got to both of 'em and they of course had wonderful florescent
lighting so I had to be content to use the Noctiluz outside just snaping
pics of the barns themselves.

I did pick up some interesting photo books - a compillation of HCB pics from
USA, a first edition of collected Ernie Pyle war articles and a photo essay
about Cleveland by Cervin Robinson.  when I got to the register the owner of
the book store said "gosh I'm so happy that there are others that appreciate
him like I do"  I had to admit that I had never heard of him before but i
liked the book from the outside!?  Anyway anyone else heard of Cervin
Robinson?  the bookstore owner went to say that Cervin died in his apartment
because he failed to get out when they were demolishing the building
 bizarre).  Anyway that's my weekend - I have not gotten around to
developing the HP5+.

Bill I don't know if this is what your looking for but here it is anyway.
