    Why not just publish a deluxe limited edition for $$$ and a smaller, cheaper version in a larger print run?

      Did you get a book from the first batch? It was full of syntax errors, and format issues.
      Is the third edition the third revision? Or is it identical to the 2nd ?

    “it is in very high demand so it will be released in small batch”

    yea right…

    Spend money on the book too since the lenses aren’t expensive enough…

    The book has some phenomenal content and wealth of information coming from a guy dedicating himself to the study of optical design and lenses. But the amount of grammatical errors were alarming.

    Erwin: please double the print volume, or jack up the price by 50%, or both, so that you can hire an editor to sort out the rough edges, and still fairly compensated for your efforts. Most people here can bear the price (like they know anything in the Leica world is cheap!)

    Ordered the second edition from LFI website. It took 9 weeks for me to get the delivery. As much as I enjoy the informative content, I found the frequency of typo unbearable. Glad that there will be a third version, which means that the so-called “limited edition” is just a joke. When a collectible becomes a mere book, I can hand correct all the errors as freely as I’d like to.

      Hire an editor like zd above suggests. His site is also full of typos, and no space between paragraphs (or very long paragraphs). My eyes just cry when trying to read it.

      I really don’t understand how the volume can’t be higher. If Erwin Puts doesn’t know the demand for his book, his publisher will. Or may be he wants to make it a collectible items.
