If you have any questions, Please contact them DIRECTLY at LeicaPhoto@aol.com. Happy Snaps, Sal Dear LEICA Friends, Jonathan Eastland's new M7 Handbook which is exclusively carried by Leica Gallery is now in stock. It's format, similar to the M6 book will include heavier and more glossy paper with fantastic image reproduction. The price is $42.95. We also, have other special Leica book offers for a limited time: 1.The Leica Story: A History of the Leica Camera by Emil Keller: This is a brand-new hardbound book with dustjacket (9 x11 inches) with over 140 pages of the history of the company from its beginnings in the 19th century through 1989. Emil Keller was associated with Leica for 50 years both in Germany until 1935 and then as an executive at Ernst Leitz New York City. The book is filled with photographs and diagrams/drawings of the camera mechanisms. It is actually rare to find a book in English devoted to the company, its history and its products.This was originally published by Keller in 1989 in two soft-cover editions that are long out of print (volume one is especially hard to find!). Leica Gallery exclusively distributes the new hardbound one volume edition in the USA and the regular price is $40. For list members the price is for a short-time $30.00 There are only a total of about 150 copies available is this privately printed edition and all copies are signed by Emil Keller.. 2. E. Leitz, Inc. New York by Emil Keller: There are 3 copies available of the only other book by the same author. It is hardbound and signed (78 pages) and now hard to find. The story of Leitz in the USA is recounted with pictures and illustrations. It is the same size as the new book and does not have a dustjacket (cover has the old Leitz NYC logo and title with silver imprint on a red cover). The price is $50. signifying that only 3 copies left. 3. Leica M6TTL Handbook by Jonathan Eastland: This book is well-known and is exclusively distributed in the USA by us. It is the definitive book on the M6TTL with 183 pages and all copies are signed by the author. The price is regularly 42.95. It is now for a limited time priced for LUG members at $35.
