If you have the chance take a look at this book at your local
bookstore, in the last chapter it includes contact sheets of Frank's
photos with his picks, you can also in which case he took more than
one photo, and which one got picked, and some crops (e.g. I didn't
know that this photo was originally shot in landscape orientation:

found the whole exercise highly educational.

Very interesting.
I have both my original, well-thumbed 1969 soft cover edition of "The
Americans" and the 2008 hard cover edition printed by Steidl in
Germany. There are a few differences between them, but no proof
sheets, etc. This was/is a signal book for me. I return to it often.
It would be very interesting to read Sarah Greenough's book about "The
Americans" with so many years of having appreciated the book itself.
