Re: [Leica] Other Sources for Help in finding a book?

["Roy Zartarian" <royzart@connix.com>]

Alistair,

Two suggestions:
1) Get onto photo.net and post your query on the Q&A section.  
Someone's memory might be jogged.

2) Try the reference staff of the local public library.  This is the sort 
of question they deal with every day.  I know - it's the type of thing I 
ask just to keep them on their toes.  And the your local flesh-and-
blood librarians fall short, try my library at:
