Regarding favorite photo books, I too like the Osterloh Leica M book, but
wonder if it's kind of dated by this time? I figure I'd pay $20 tops for a
copy--much better, I think, to wait for the revised edition!

Other favorites are Ansel Adams' Book 2 and 3 (The Negative, The Print) but
I'm taking some of the info contained therein as being a bit dated too--if
the old man were still around, I wonder if he'd be scolding people for
clinging to his circa 1980 advice?

A new (for me) discovery has been LensWork Quarterly. The coverage of Andre
Kertesz (No 23, Nov 98-Jan 99 issue) and accompanying photos are
first-rate--I've gone from merely recognizing the man's name to being in awe
of his work!
