David, There is an amazing book on the history of Leica -- I'm not sure of the exact title but it is something like "History of Leica Cameras" -- I saw it only once at Powell's bookstore in Portland and it was $90 in used but near-mint condition. I'm sorry I didn't buy it on the spot, but at the time $90 was a bit much. Anyway, it's about 11x14" and has the largest, sharpest, most beautiful photos of the M-cameras that I've ever seen. If anyone knows the exact title and author or publisher, I too would be grateful. - -Dave
