FACES OF AMERICA photographs by Pablo Delano (Smithsonian Institution Press: $24.95; 131 pp., paperback original). The expressive portraits in this volume were prepared for the American Flag of Faces exhibit at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. The subjects were chosen to reflect the diversity of the country’s population, and the book offers the pleasures of people-watching in the reader’s home. As Delano observes, “The curious will be unable to resist creating life stories for the faces and wondering about the personality, life style, work, and cultural heritage of each person in the book.”
