Subject: [Leica] advice needed: film & book

dear luggers,
    I need two advices
1- I'd like to buy a good book about the M system. I have thought of the
leica manual or the leica repair book (or something like that).

2- I have to take some color pictures of people working at their workplaces.
I think that the paper copies will have a final size of 18 x 24 cm. I have
two cameras, an AE2 Eos w/ 28-80 with color film and an M2 w/ 50 summicron
for some b/w shots. For the latter I'll take HP5. Which color film do you
suggest for the EOS? Would ISO 800 show a very big grain in the final copy
or would it be OK. As long as possible I'd prefer not to use flash. What
about the multi-speed film?

thanks
carlos
