Subject: [Leica] Capa and Steinbeck

Just wanted to put in a plug for a little book called ' A Russian 
Journal' written by John Steinbeck with a smattering of photos by Capa. 
  It's about their 1948 trip to Russia for a month.  It's more akin to 
'lonely planet' but was fun to read.  It was at a time when when our 
goverments didn't trust each other but the peoples of russia treated 
Steinbeck and Capa very nicely and were interested in closer bond 
between the two peoples.

it's Penguin Paperback and the right size for reading on a 
trans-american or atlantic flight.
