Hello Donal,
Wooden Boat is one of my all time favourite magazines - I'll see
if I can find his book. I used to have a book on Japan - the photos were
all Kodachrome and shot with a Leica M and a 35mm lens. Like a fool, I
gave the book away when we were leaving Canada and have never been able to
find another copy. I can't even remember the name of the book or who did
the work but I do remember the quality of the images - simply stunning. I
was using an Olympus system and Kodachrome at the time but that book was
one of the things that got me thinking about buying a Leica.
