A very handy book to be carried about when buying used Leica equipment. The book does just what its title says. I have been a Leicaphile (and Hasselblad fan as well) for many years. I find it very enjoyable just to sit, read and learn about these fine photographic machines. I received it only today and already am hooked.

This book is invaluable at camera shows, garage and estate sales, and when traveling. It has just about all the information you need to identify a Leica by appearance and serial number. The author also includes grades so you can determine the rarity of a camera. The sections on special issue and military Leicas are especially interesting.Combine this book with the Leica Price Guide and you can't lose!
