Yes, it is another,
This new one is to be called Leica Lenses (or something similar),
leaving space, presumably, for forthcoming volumes on Leica projectors, 
enlargers, Leica lenscaps, Leica Tiepins and all those other area which 
aren't covered (seemingly) by M and R camera books!

What books are "a few weeks away from publication"? Bowers' revised
Leica reflex book came out months ago; is he about to release another? I
hope so, for his photos are oustanding and his prose is informative and
to the point.
