Richard may I be so bold to ask? ;-)

You of course do have a copy of the unposed real life B&W coffee table size 
classic book illustrating the medical profession in full stride? ;-)

"This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler."

If you don't I do have a few copies of this magical photographic documentary 
that adornes the coffee tables of many a LUG member. :-)

The original price when published?  $120.00.  The hand bound leather copies 
$250.00. ;-) Yep that's how good it is! It's no longer in print although 
I've seen copies for sale used for much higher and lower prices on the 
Internet.

However, if you are interested in a regular copy, signed personally to you 
with a copy of the "Photographer's Supplement."  I'd be only too pleased to 
let you have a copy for $80.00 US. plus shipping, which is roughly $15.00 to 
most areas of the USA.

This isn't a light weight book as it's 14 1/2 inches square reproduced on 
marvelous paper that makes the Leica shot images glow off the pages.And it 
weighs about 3.3 kilos, around 9 lbs.

If in doubt I'm sure any number of Luggites who own it can confirm how good 
it is. ;-)
