Harrison me son,

Thank you so much for the plug! So very much appreciated I can't tell you
how much it made my weekend.  I was so fearful that I'd get buckets of shit
dumped on me for trying to sell something that wasn't Leica gear, I damn
near didn't post.

But you, Jim Brick, Paul, Simon and Eric sure made up for the fears with
the kind and generous comments. The folks on the LUG, most of them, have no
idea the commitment that goes into a project of this kind.

Not to mention they'd probably die, to learn that the publisher owed me
$40,000 in collected royalties and before they paid me, put themselves into
receivership!  I never collected a penny for my ten year personal project!

The books I now have to sell, I had to buy from the receiver! Kind of
ironical!  Not only did I do all the photography over a ten year period, I
had to buy the remaining copies to try and make some of the expenses back.
What the hell!

The new one is now in the hands of a very competent agent who will make
sure I don't get ripped off again.

There has been a favourable response, much to you lads pumping it for me.
And I thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.

Kindest regards,
ted
