Thank you very much, Cynthia and Michele.

Yes, I found the one from Fronia E. Wissman to be nice.

There is just one thing: I am interested on this book mainly because I would like to have a try on a copy of my Bouguereau's favorite painting, the one called "The Little Beggars". That's why I need a large enough photo of it. Do you think that book has large enough photos for me to use them as a reference when painting?

Thanks again!
Rui

P. S. Is it normal to use computer printers for this purpose, to get photo references to work with? I am asking this because I have tried it and the colors turned out so diferent!
