The Leica M Compendium is now out of print but there are many copies still
about for sale. The author, Jonathan Eastland has a new M book out called
"The Leica M6 TTL Handbook".

One recent place to advertise it is the Leica Gallery in New York. Here is a
message from a week or two ago:

.........We are going into our 8th year as Leica's Gallery in the United
States. We are affiliated with Leica USA and Leica AG (Germany) and we have
approx. nine major exhibitions of Leica photography every season.
Additionally, we have an extremely large selection of Leica books, signed
photography books and Leica boutique items. We exclusively bring into the US
from England The Leica M6 TTL Handbook by Jonathan Eastland (published in
2000/hardbound, 183 pages illustrated, published by Eastland/Ajax). For LUG
members, the signed copies are $39.95 + only $5. shipping anywhere in the
continental U.S. We also have Erwin Puts' The Leica Lens Compendium
(published in 2001/hardbound, 240 pages illustrated, Hove Press imported
directly by Leica Gallery [the best books on Leica lenses by far in our
opinion]). Price is $64.95 and for LUG members + only $5. shipping in the
continental U.S. If both the Eastland and Puts books are ordered then there
is no shipping charge at all........
