Well, actually, Kyle's Armed Americans have arrived in Australia. It's an 
invasion!

Today, despite the most robust efforts of postal and customs authorities, my 
copy of Kyle's book has arrived undamaged, in a package
with some Ansel Adams books from Amazons. As far as I can tell Kyle was not 
converted to using a field camera during the journey,
although Ansel was heard to mutter about a D200 something or other. There is 
a photo of Kyle on the dust-jacket with GASP! a chrome
Leica M around his neck! Heck he even looks sane as he does in the YouTube 
clip.

 

Anyhoo, as has been said here, it is a book of fascinating people 
photographs and captions. I thoroughly recommend it for all
photographers. At the pre-release Amazon price it was less than USD 20. That 
is an absolute bargain.

 

Cheers

Hoppy
