For a history of Leitz, you might first try Emil Keller's 2 vol. set
"Source of Today's 35mm Photography." The author was an employee of
Leitz for 50 years.
The 2nd vol. is still being advertised by at least one major Leica
dealer. Others on the list may have pointers to suppliers for the
first volume.
