Hi all- A couple of years ago I purchased a copy of the "Leica Manual And
Data book" published by Morgan and Morgan. It is the 1956 edition. Cost -
$1USD. From the local library used book sale. Inside were 3 pamphlets-
"Revisions to Leica Product directory, Edition of May 1957, including new
items, price changes, and discontinued items. The second was  "Universal
Focusing Bellows" where and how to use it, and third the " New Leica
Equipment Supplement to the 13th Edition Leica Manual and Data Book".

Also there were (4) 5 x 7 b/w photos- 2 each of a Lockheed Prop-Jet Electra
aircraft, and a portrait shot of a woman in a black and white poka dot
blouse and heavy wool coat standing in front of a solid stone entry to a
commercial building.

Not bad value for a buck! Stasys

ps- the book is interesting reading if you like old Leicas.
