Last time I spoke to the publisher they told me that they hoped to bring it out in mid-Feb, which obviously didn't happen. I spoke to them again today and they gave me a firm date of 13 March. Some of you may be interested to know that they are taking orders now. I placed mine and since they are more or less around the corner from where I live the manager said he might just push one through my letter box when it comes out. So if there is any interest (!) I will post my thoughts on this long-anticipated book as soon as it hits the mat. I had quite a long chat with the proprietor and he said the main reason for the delay was because they wanted to ensure that it was really up to date, so hopefully it will include the latest 28 Summicron M and Tri-Elmar. UK members of this group may be interested to know that the book is being launched at the Olympia book fair in London on 26 March and Erwin will be there in person.

I guess this is sort of a "for sale" message, thus I am posting it on Friday: For those of you in the USA, just for your information, I will also be carrying Erwin's new book "The Leica Lens Compendium"...and hopefully at a slight discount from the retail price. I have not received any yet, but I have 20 on order. I do not yet know the price, but I hear it will be high for a book of this sort! (my rep. told me) I guess we can all expect that when it comes to Leica books...<g> You may "pre-order" your copy from me by just sending your info. and I'll put you on file. I won't be taking deposits as it is too much of a pain for everyone on such a small item. Delivery will be first order in, first order out... cheers, Rich/PVI (212) 398-0402
