Several new books are coming out soon which are certain to interest all you
Leica nuts out there.

First, Jim Lager's third and final volume of his current series is due soon on
Leica Accessories.  This should be great for all the collector's out there.
Should be helpful to users too, to figure out what all those acces. were and
how to use them.

Next, a new van Hasbroeck book will be coming soon.  This is the Leica book in
color showing the development of the Leica system over the years.  Tamarkin
will be importing these and they will be expensive.

On the more distant horizon, a revised version of Osterloh's Leica M is coming
to include all the new M stuff since the original came out in the mid-80's.
This will be the new LUG bible.  There is also a revised version of the Leica
Fotoschule book in English by Urs Tillmans.  This is another book from the
mid-80's that never appeared in English.  This book thoroughly covered all
things Leica, M & R, how to, collecting, etc. in typical German attention to
detail.

Can't wait to add these to my library.
