I am not joking around, the LUG is always talking about this book or that book by Castaņeda, Gibson, HCB, etc..., but here, on the LUG, we have one of the masters of all time. Ted. I have this book and it is a masterpiece. We're talking tome! Magnificant in all respects. If you are interested in studying how a master uses a Leica, you need this book. Even if you are not, this book is gorgeous and would be a wonderful addition to anyone's "affichage d'art".
