I though the really 'hot' and desired (read high priced) book was 'The
Olympus Way', author escapes me at the moment.

Thanks Gary,

You nailed it for me. It is the 1975 edition covering OM-1 and OM-2. I
would have to rate this one at a Good (spine is weakish although everything
else is like new). Really doesn't matter as I picked it up for $8.00US -
all this at a high end camera store who "specialize" in Leica. Their OM
stuff is ALWAYS way overpriced except for occasional deals like this on the
"little" stuff. The book was just stuffed in the side with some camera
stuff - obviously it came with some gear that had been traded in (they
don't do consignment stuff).

Do I qualify for a DORIS FANG award????
