It showed much of A.L.'s early work for Rolling Stone done with Nikons. The book is kinda neat in that the back section has explainations of some of the photos. Both photographers tell how certain shots were done (film, lens, f/stop, filters etc.) and what they were trying to accomplish with the shot. The section goes on to explain the advantages/disadvantages in the camera systems they used i.e. Nikons and Leicas. As a teenager, I thought these little books were cool and I still enjoy looking through them some 25+ years later. Mark R, does this sound like the book you saw? Thanks, Mark - -------- R.
