I inherited them from my father who bought three of them in 1941, one in 1959 and the last in 1960. "The Leica Book in Color" by Anton F. Baumann & edited by Kurt Peter Karfeld Copyright 1938 (Still in the original cardboard slip cover & in excellent condition) "My Leica and I" (Leica Amateurs Show Their Pictures) Various contributors and edited by Kurt Peter Karfeld Copyright 1937 (Spine taped but complete and in good condition) "SNOW CANVAS" (Ski Men And Mountains With The Leica) by Professor Stephen Kruckenhauser & edited by Kurt Peter Karfeld Copyright 1937 (Spine taped but complete and in good condition) All three of the above books were bought by my father in 1941 and are all translations from the original German. "My Experiences in COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY" by Dr. Paul Wolff Prefaced by Jacob Deschin Copyright 1948 & purchased in 1959 (The color photos are remarkable for the beautiful pastels IMO) "FRITZ HENLE'S GUIDE TO ROLLEI PHOTOGRAPHY" Copyright 1956 & purchased in 1960 Obviously not Leica but an excellent book for anyone interested in TLR's.
