[Leica] Armed america in newsweek

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

We shall all be able to say, oh we knew Mr Cassidy before he became a living 
treasure.
For next book, how about oiled American fireman with guns, a lightroom 
tutorial.

Once again, Armed America is very well done and deserves to sell a gazillion.

Cheers
Hoppy

The LUG had an awful lot to do with this. Without the LUG I would not have 
had the focus, nor the direction, nor the impetus -- and,
possibly more importantly, I would not have had access to the three people 
who really stepfathered this -- BD, Jim Shulman, and Ted
Grant who were with it from the first draft of the query letter, believed in 
it, and put their years of expertise to the grindstone
for my benefit. I have a few heroes in the world, and I found three of them 
right here.

Newsweek gathered the quotes -- they did a great job i think. it adds a 
whole 'nother dimension.

and since doug said i could toot my own horn, i have discovered i currently 
have the best selling photo essay book on amazon. 

it's #8 in photography. behind some technical books on how to use lightroom 
and a book of portraits of oiled, shirtless new york
firemen.
