Grossmark [Hove Camera Photo Books 1976] Ever wondered what a FLEIN was? This book'll tell you! >B.- Favorite Picture book (non-Leica photographers are permitted) I only own 3 photo books, so i'll give you 2. _Nagasaki Journey_ by Yosuke Yamahata [Pomegranate Artbooks 1995] Yamahata was the first military photographer in Nagasaki after the bombing. Very disturbing book, but fantastic. _James Dean_ by Sanford Roth [Taschen 1987] I bought this book as a 17th birthday present for myself in '87, before i'd even heard of Leica. Now i just wish i could use a Leica like Sanford Roth... > C.- Favorite Non-Photo Photo book. _The Little Prince_ by Antoine De Saint-Exupery [Heinemann] Classic children's book which more adults should read. By far my most favourite book ever. Thanks for bringing this up, Sal! All the best to all, Gary - -- "The difficulty now is that unexceptional adults believe the loss of youthful dreaming is itself "growing up," as though adulthood were the passive conclusion to a doomed activity and hope during adolescence."
