WOW! 
Now that's a super browsing book store.  :-) 
You didn't happen to find any of mine in there did you?  :-)
1/ MEN of the SADDLE: working cowboys of Canada:
2/ REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT BLACK &                     WHITE... sometimes 
colour.
3/ WOMEN in MEDICINE: a Celebration of their work.
4/ DOCTOR'S WORK: The Legacy of Sir William Osler.
5/ THIS IS OUR WORK: The Legacy of Sir William Osler
6/ Joe Clark: the emerging Leader.

No? I didn't think so. :-)
Oh well there is a USED book store in Vancouver  BC. CANADA that I picked up 
two new copies of "DOCTOR'S WORK" for $50.00 per copy and later that 
afternoon sold them for $100.oo a copy! Not a bad deal when the buyers were 
both doctors. Oh yeah they are subjects in the book in the OR doing a 
"cutting job!"  :-)
The two medical books were excellent sellers in North America and quite a 
number of the LUG crew purchased copies some years ago.
I rummage used book stores wherever I find them looking for any of my books 
or others. Most certainly LEICA and old photography books. My own home 
library has over 300 photography related copies from ancient to modern day.
We never stop learning no matter whomever you are!
cheers,
Dr. Ted Grant OC

On Saturday afternoon I was walking around the shopping district in downtown 
Le Mans, and I happened on a second-hand bookshop. I first took some 
pictures from the outside, and then the owner came out and politely scolded 
me for not asking. I apologised, and the result was that he told me to come 
inside and that I could photograph to my heart?s content. So I did:

And of course I did not walk away empty-handed; I bought a collection of 
short stories by Doris Lessing, a Kurt Vonnegut novel and a couple of other 
books. It is nice when you drive rather than fly :-)

Cheers,
Nathan
