I have only seen the "artist's proof" so far, but it looked very good for a blurb production, and so far the binding has held up well --- its a big book. I'm eagerly awaiting my copy of the "final" version as well. Hope it meets your expectations Cheers Alastair --- don.dory@gmail.com wrote: From: "Don Dory" <don.dory@gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Subject: Re: [Leica] 8 years in the making - IT HAS ARRIVED!

Mine should be here in three to four more days and I should probably order another one, sort of like Leica collectors; one to use and the other to collect. :) On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 6:13 PM, Alastair Firkin <afirkin@afirkin.com> wrote: > Thanks Peter, glad it arrived in good nick: if you find any errors, let me > know > > Cheers > > Alastair > > --- pdzwig@summaventures.com wrote: > > From: Peter Dzwig <pdzwig@summaventures.com> > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] 8 years in the making - IT HAS ARRIVED! > Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:29:35 +0100 > > It has just arrived! > > Brilliant Alastair.
