Re: delpire editeur

Hi Peter,

It's nice to hear from you!
I'm an early fan of the Photo Poche collection. I think they began by
the turn of the eighties and now the collection encompass more than
100 great photographers. It's a rather addictive collection,
affordable yet high quality printing. I couldn't find it for some
times but now it's actually distributed by "Actes Sud" (the French
editor of inter alia the famous american novellist - and by the way
photographic enthusiast - Paul Auster )
I think in this part of the world, it's a great honor for a
photographer to be published in Photo Poche...
I surely will not miss this volume in my collection!

By the way, I'd like to make the echo of your congratulations to
Marie-Noëlle and the CCAM team for their tremendous work and dynamism.
It's been a pleasure to meet you Peter.
