Lugers:

Last nite, my wife brought home The Leica Lens Book by Charles Bower for me.
I was tremendously dissapointed in this book.  First of all, the photos were
very un-Leica like.  No B+W, hardly any people pictures, and definitely no
decisive moment pix. Photos were primarily landscape but not of the caliber
on would expect from Leica.  I don't know whehter Leica makes any money from
these books but their logo and trademark are on the cover.  This book is
poor advertising for Leica. Save your money, don't buy this book.  I am
returning my copy today.
