How do I quick look up the date on a photo I have added to a photo project in iPhoto 11? If I hover long enough it sometimes appears.

There has to be a better and more efficient way to do this. This is quite frustrating. I separated all of my "chapters" for my book into different albums but then could only create the book from one of them. So, I took all the photos into an album and am now trying to separate chapters as I create them from scratch in my book project. That aside, it's been troublesome now as well as the past projects on how to quickly display the info (the date mainly) for the images included in the project menu on the right when I click "photos". I do get the info about 60-70% of the time by hovering for a quite lenghty period of time, but this is taking forever. Please.... quick solution! Thanks all!

Thanks Terence. I know about that in iPhoto already. I use it often. However, that is not an option when creating a book. When you click on the photos button in the bottom right corner when creating a book, it shows the photos but there is no "info" selection. The only way I find out the date is to drag the photo into the book, then go back and hover over the page number it was imported to and hope eventually the date shows up. If it's not the date for the chapter I wanted (as my chapters are divided by months), I then drag it back out and try again until I find a photo that does have that date. It's taken hours and is different from previous versions of iPhoto where I have created books before. This is iPhoto 11, trying to create a hard bound book.
