[Leica] New old book found

[Jem Kime <jem.kime@cwcom.net>]

I came across a really nice book today,

'Israel' by Richard Lannoy. Published by Thames and Hudson in 1958 it 
contains 132 lustrous rich gravure plates in a large format (9"x12 1/2"). 
Quite historical to view now of course. I bought the Magnum offereing 
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the country last year and this provides 
an interesting counterpoint.
It's rather more casual, less new-sy or battle orientated but far from 
being a soft coffee table picture book. I haven't found any text yet 
placing it on topic with regard to Lannoy's use of a Leica but on one page 
there's a delightful shot of a 50's lady (tourist?) shooting with a Leica 
in the foreground, behind here a Centurian tank with its 105mm barrel 
points in a similar direction!
Good humanbistic pictures too. It seems he also did a similar volume in 
India.
Anyone heard of him?
