Hi, Mitchell-

We got ours via amazon.com. It's a Hove publication, so Amazon ordered it through Amazon.uk , and it was shipped to us directly from the UK. It's relatively expensive, and the editing isn't up to par in some sections.

I believe B&H and Micro-Tools has it also.

Hello Mitchell: I know that Ken Hansen in New York (tel # 2123170923) has several more copies of the book and will ship it to you tax-free if you are not a NY state resident. They are fast and a pleasure to deal with.

Mitchell,

My buddy Richard at www.leicagallery.com in Los Angeles has one for sale on his website if all else fails...

Here's where I got mine. They are near San Francisco. Nice people to deal with.

Your local supermarket. It comes in single- or two-ply, I prefer the latter as it's more comfortable ;)

Seriously, if you're going to spend good money on a book, try this one, this one, or this one. Buying a book of somebody else's lens tests, especially when that someone is well known to be a cheerleader for the brand they are testing, is the worst waste of money I can think of. If you really want to give your money away, at least give it to a worthy cause.

Are we talking about a book other than the previously released "Leica Lens Compendium"? Does anyone have an actually name for this NEW book? How about an ISBN number?

Thanks.
