Found this on the web:

"The story of the human face and the unveiling of the hidden language of expressions and the nature of our personal identity which it portrays. There are six billion human faces and yet we can instantly recognise faces we know - the face is the key to identity, both of ourselves and others. Humans have only seven universally recognised facial expressions: anger, fear, happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise and contempt, and yet it is estimated that we can make about 7,000 discrete expressions. The book uses stunning photography, and offers new insight into human nature and the naked truth behind facial features.

 The book is by Brian Bates with John Cleese. As it's published by the Beeb, it shouldn't be too hard to find. Hope this helps.

It's called The Human Face, by the way!
