Yes, Leica Gallery is working even on the 4th! The handbook is available from 
us at $20. By the way, as of 1 July our mailing special is over and shipping 
is $10. minimum and maximum for all orders (meaning that you can buy as many 
items as you wish and still be charged no more than $10. - the reverse is 
true also for $10. but it is too depressing to greatly comment on). By the 
way, the Erich Hartmann show (the opening of which was attended by many 
LUGGERS as from here they went to their meeting) is still on in the main 
gallery area and LUG member Sal DiMarco, Jr.'s work is on display in the 
Oskar Barnack Room (several of his portrait of the pianist, Rubinstein, have 
been sold). It is a particularly interesting show and it will be up through 
11 August. Now for the opening show of next season (first time released 
anywhere): September 6 - September 29 (opening reception on Wednesday Sept. 
12) Leica Medal of Excellence (Paolo Pellegrin, a new nominee of Magnum) and 
the Leica Lifetime Achievement Award: Marc Riboud (Magnum) with a booksigning 
planned for Marc Riboud on Saturday 8 September. Pellegrin's photographs will 
be in the first main gallery room and Marc Riboud's the balance of the 
gallery. In the Oskar Barnack Room the plan now is to have photographs of 
previous winners of the Leica Medal of Excellence (Ralph Gibson, Alex Webb, 
Susan Meiselas, etc., etc.). Keep the dates open as it should be a wonderful 
Leica show. Best regards, Rose and Jay Deutsch/Leica Gallery, 670 Broadway, 
NYC 10012 (hours through 11 August: Tues. thru Friday 11 to 6 and Saturday 12 
to 6).
