[Leica] Adrian Bradshaw - "The Door Opened - 1980's China"

[Peter Dzwig]

I think I have seen a few of these before somewhere, and think they are
absolutely fascinating. It proves the value of reflecting on an archive
before publishing, rather than just galloping into producing one. A
lesson that several people on the LUG have borne witness to, over the years.

I was going to order a copy but the publisher's price is steep at £88
(strange price point) compared with other books I might buy. However
just checked amazon - £50! That's better!
