the authors This soft cover book is edited by the heads of Leica's famous
design and communications company (both editors are also professors of
design in Germany). The book is about the mystique of the brand Leica and
one of the best sources of its history, its legends, its culture,
advertising and its cameras!. It has 193 pages of text in English and German
and is filled with black and white and color photographs (some of the best
work done with Leicas) as well as historical photographs of the cameras,
Wetzlar, etc. There are articles by such Leica experts as Hans-Michael
Koetzle (pp. 20-70) who is the editor-in-chief of Leica World magazine - he
writes on the technological and cultural history of the Leica legend. There
is a special section on Leica history with photographs of the factory and a
timeline by event. Even sections on how the trademark has changed. Plus
lots of technical information as it applies to its history.
