Not that I enjoy pushing Jim's buttons (ok, so maybe I do enjoy it! So
go ahead, sue me! :-)), but...
Today, in yet another display of unabashed, shameless, uncontrollable,
all-consuming, terminal, almost primal Zuikoholism, someone on eB*y bid
US$77, plus $4 in shipping, for Franz Pangerl's excellent OM-1/2 book
(1975 ed., in English).

Add to this the $150 or so recently paid for a copy of "The Olympus OM
Way", and with my extensive library of OM books, including the above two,
I am almost assured a comfortable early retirement. :-)
Cheers,
