Book excerpt: A photographer herself, Norfleet is founder and curator of The Photography Collection at Harvard University, which emphasizes the social history of the US. She tries to put out a book a year, with photographs not used in a previous one. Here she illustrates with informal and advertising photographs the self-image of America's white middle class during the 1950s as comparative affluence, moral superiority, and contentment. They are accompanied by period quotations. c. Book News Inc.
