Leitz New York. Not the English translation of Leica Fotografie. Anyway, I have "Leica Photography" from E. Leitz New York, Vol VL, No. V, May 1937. Published price ten cents. The last prewar publication was Vol VIII, No IX, September 1939, wherein they stated a temporary suspension in publication, and go on to state it was first published in December, 1932. Publication apparently resumed in 1948 and for some reason they reset the No. Vol. to start with No. 1 Vol. 1. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Dennis
