Its not that big. I have many books bigger. I don't have a couch. So I do most my reading in bed. Mark do you maybe have the out of print "Leica Lens Compendium" published by Hove? That is the one now available in a free text only PDF version that I mentioned. Unless you are related to Lou Ferrigno, I think that you will find the much larger self published new volume "Leica Compendium" is a tad much to balance on your breakfast tray with your weeties and orange juice. It is a larger format and nearly 2 inches thick. It weighs over 6 pounds. It covers Leica Camera history and cameras (up to 2011) as well as lenses. That one was sold in a limited run by pre-order from Erwin himself. There were two editions in print. As far as I know even the second run is long sold out. Why yes, I do have both books on my shelf ;-) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman
