Detlef:

Who knows?  There is a quality about the book which I love. 
Interestingly, the book was shot in two main periods twenty years
apart.  and the difference in the reproduction is marked.  Whether it is
film or cameras/lenses or improved technique, I don't know.  But the
more recent work in the book is significantly sharper, more contrasty,
more Leicar "round."
