Subject: [Leica] [Leica}"Digging" now available - BUY THIS BOOK!

I have not yet seen this book in published form, but I have had the
privilege of seeing the PDF:

It is an absolute stunner; one of the best photo books I have ever seen.
While it does document the work of the men who dug the Big Dig, calling
what Michael has produced a "documentary photography" project doesn't
begin to do it justice. The photographs that make up digging are truly
works of art. In fact, the interplay of shapes, forms, shadows and
light; the mastery of composition; the ironic juxtaposition of objects,
reminds me of nothing so much as the work of HCB. 

This is an absolute "must have" for every LUGer's bookshelf. In fact, it
is a 'must have' for anyone who cares seriously about serious
photography.

I am pleased to announce, after nearly eight years of work my Big Dig
book ?Digging? is now available.  While both Amazon and Barnes & Noble
online show the book as ?not released?, the book is now moving into
warehouse and will be available very soon.  Books are also available
from the publisher directly through their website:
www.commonwealtheditions.com <http://www.commonwealtheditions.com/>  or
by phoning them at 978-921-0747. Finally, amazon.fr, amazon.de, and
amazon.co.jp all list the book for those interested overseas.
Autographed copies are available directly from me.
 
With the exception of several Xpan and Mamiya 7 images all the images
were made with Leica cameras.
 
Thank you all for this opportunity to present this work.
