I should have known that, Gary - just bought a copy of this book
(unknown to me). Cheaper than the Mannheim book, fortunately, at
$15... ;-)
Until now the most dreadful OM book I know is the 'Complete Olympus
User's Guide - Modern Classics' (Hove Foto Books) by a person (?)
calling himself 'Harold Franklin'.
The book originally appeared in German, almost as bad as the
translation, titled 'Olympus - Kameras von Gestern für Anwender von
heute' (transl: Olympus - Yesterday's cameras for today's users). The
writer is called 'Harald Francke' there.
I guess the German name was supposed less favorable for the English
speaking markets....
