[Leica] Leica M book

[denik at comcast.net (denik@comcast.net)]

The rare original suffered from poor bindings. 

A local publisher gave me a source & as I need mine rebound,
I'll pass the info as soon as I can get a quote. 

Still a great reference souce & I will soom order the updated 
version for comparison.
