I just bought this book last night and it is very good. For those of you who
don't know about it, Yul Brynner was a great photographer in his own right.
The book was published by his daughter, Victoria Brynner. It's filled with
images of his family and friends - including many celebrities of the period.
Yul is pictured over and over sporting a slew of Leicas: M3's seem to have
been his favorite, although a few M4's, Leicavit's and Nikon SLRs passed
thru his hands. Some of the pictures of him are quite funny: in one he's
dressed as Rameses and has no less than 4 Leica RFs festooned about his
neck. This is a great book full of lovely photographs and would make a nice
addition to any Leicaphile's library.
