The book now I think will have a nicer balance of text vs. illustrations. Me I like to turn the page and keep reading but also have a pitcher somewhere to be looking at. Or at least the page after that. It all started with reading the tom Swift Jr. books under my covers after lights out. I got real excited when I was coming to an illustration. And those were about one a chapter. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 07:34:53 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Shipping info on Leica Compendium > > Especially if Erwin has pre-sold all 1000 copies that he said he would > publish ;-) > I have the original and find it an extremely good resource on Leica Camera > and Leica lenses.
