Subject: [Leica] 8 years in the making: here it is.

Thanks Nathan,
hope the card holds up: for small run publishing, its great value really: 
Here in Australia to do anything similar would cost many times the blurb

Hope you enjoy it

Cheers

Thanks for all the work, Alastair. I just voted with my wallet (or  
rather, with my Amex card...)

Cheers,
Nathan
