done. it devotes a full chapter to photographic illusions such as double
exposure, collage, etc. it has an accompanying chapter on trick mirrors,
etc.

And, let's face it, as many will no doubt tell us in response to your
post, alteration has been going on since nearly the dawn of
photography. It's just that we now do it in computers rather than the
darkroom. Remember the "fairy photographs" of Victorian times?
Because photography was thought by the general public to be an
accurate depiction of a split-second (or longer) of time, they
convinced many of the existence of wispy fairies, clad in gossamer,
floating above staircases and in the corners of grand Victorian
mansions.
