This is a book I borrowed from the Médiathèque at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris (formerly the Irish College) for the holidays and I think it's worth a mention here, especially for those members who are interested in the Corca Dhuibhne. It's called 'West Kerry Camera/Ceamara Chorca Dhuibhne' compiled by Pádraig Tyers (http://www.collinspress.ie - ISBN 978 1 905172306) so as you can guess it's a book of photography and for once the captions are in both languages. Unfortunately, when it was published in 2006 they apparently thought the Celtic Tiger was going to last, but anyway it's an important and interesting insight into what you could see in West Kerry from the beginning of photography up to the 1960's. For example, there's a photo (among others) of a youthful Bab Feiritéar cleaning a milk churn taken by Séimín Feiritéar - I quote:
'Cáit (Bab) Feiritéar, Dún Chaoin, ag glanadh na teaince tar éis í a theacht ón uachtarlann. Sin í an teainc a fuair an scriosadh!'
Here's the introduction on the inside cover -
'Níl tír san Eoraip is rathúla ná Éire faoi láthair. Is mór idir í agus an Éire a bhí ann sa 19ú haois agus formhór an 20ú haois. Léiríonn an cnuasach grianghraf seo an difríocht sin. Is ionann Corca Dhuibhne geall leis agus an leath thiar den leithinis a shíneann ó Thrá Lí siar go dtí na Blascaodaí. Tá cáil ar fud an domhain ar a áilleacht nádúrtha agus ar shaothar liteartha leithéidí Thomáis Uí Chriomhthain agus Peig Sayers. Ceantar Gaeltachta é ar ndóigh. Tá mórán grianghraf nua san eagrán athchóirithe seo de 'Cheamara Chorca Dhuibhne/West Kerry Camera'. Tá na ceannscríbhinní i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge. Taispeánann na grianghraif ceantar agus pobal atá athraithe ó bhonn ón uair a tógadh iad. Anois agus an seansaol nach mór imithe tugann siad an-léargas dúinn ar na seanleathanta nuair a bhí bochtaineacht agus anró i réim sa taobh suaithinseach sin d'Éirinn.'

'Déiseach is ea Pádraig Tyers a bhfuil formhór a shaoil caite i gCathair Chorcaí aige. Tá sé éirithe as a phost anois tar éis a shaol oibre a thabhairt ag saothrú ar son na Gaeilge mar mhúinteoir, mar bhall d'fhoireann Gheal Linn agus ina dhiaidh sin i gColáiste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh. Thug sé a chéad turas ar Chorca Dhuibhne i 1948, thit i ngrá leis na daoine agus leis an áit agus dhein a chuid féin de. Tá an-chur amach aige ar Ghaeilge Chorca Dhuibhne.

Voilà - bonne lecture!

Yeah, that really is a nice book! I ran across it back in 2009 on Amazon. It's (mostly) out of print but you can still buy it at Litríocht:

By the way, I love the subtle humour in the description:

"Athchóiriú é seo ar an eagrán de Ceamara Chorca Dhuibhne a fhoilsíodh ar dtúis i 1991. I nGaeilge amháin a bhí na ceannscríbhinní san eagrán sin ach tá siad dátheangach sa cheann seo chun freastal ar léitheoirí ata ar bheagán Gaeilge no gan aon Ghaeilge."

"In the original Ceamara Chorca Dhuibhne published in 1991 the captions accompanying the photographs were in Irish only. In this revised edition they are bilingual so as to accommodate readers who for whatever reason have little or no Irish."
