[Leica] Nathan's Book List

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I usually agree with our George.
If I came out with a Blurb book tomorrow which I may just do I'd be
embarrassed to be put in the same category as Ted and Kyle and real
published authors.
This is simple and obvious I'd think to most people.
