[Leica] customer review, Steve Barbour's book

[pkolodny at fibertel.com.ar (Pablo Kolodny)]

Being al that heard here about Steve's and others books too only thing I
have to comment is that shipping to Argentina is just prohibitive.
Maybe I'd have to make them ship to a friend of mine somewhere else and see
what/when/how to forward those good books to me or just wait until I can
pick them up. Some day.
