Hi Jem,

I was aware of the association between Tyrone Wheatcroft and Fieldgrass &
Gale. In fact, the flyer from Blueprint Books arrived in a F&G envelope, =
so I
assume the association still stands. And I like Fieldgrass & Gale, I boug=
ht
my first Leica lens (the 35mm Summicron) from them.

After not being able to access the web site last night, I sent an e-mail =
to
Tyrone and he had replied by this morning. The particular book in the fly=
er
has been sold but he will keep an eye out for another one for me. He also
mentioned the problem with pages falling out. Seems like a nice and hones=
t
fellow.
