[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I can recommend Andrew Matheson's "The Leica/Leicaflex Way" 10th edition. This book is a thorough user's guide to Leica cameras up to and including the Leicaflex SL. It is inexpensive and I have found it highly useful. One of my favorite picture books is Bresson's A Propos de Paris. The duotone reproductions are a pleasure to look at and are always inspirational. For another side of HCB read "Sextet" by John Malcolm Brinnin. Brinnin accompanied HCB on a drive across America and his tale suggests the reasons why Bresson does not like to reveal too much of his private self.
