stunsworth Posted March 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Andreas, that's fine if you live in the US, but what about the rest of the world? :-) The books all appear to be from the US site and priced in dollars. Are there any plans to introduce a European service? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted March 5, 2007 Are there any plans to introduce a European service? Not only plans - they already exist: UK: Leica Camera User Shop - Home Page Germany: Bookstore - Bestseller The British shop is not as far developed as the German and the US shop - but it's only a question of weeks. If you have suggestions for these shops (or all of them): Please let me know! Regards Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted March 5, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 5, 2007 Andreas, it's easy and not that expensive for anyone from the EU to buy from the French Amazon site if they're already signed an Amazon customer, and being in the EU means that there are no taxes or duties to worry about. Volume 1 has people such as HCB, Doisneau, Boubat, Koudelka etc. discussing contacts sheets - the same format is repeated for the other 2 volumes in the series.

LUF Admin Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted March 7, 2007 I have now four shops I have to maintain - each with an own range of books. Sorry if I can't do that immediately... But I'll try my best Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavio Posted March 7, 2007 Share #12 Posted March 7, 2007 Ok, no problem. I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother you in any way. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 7, 2007 Share #13 Posted March 7, 2007 Andreas, can you explain how the forum makes money from the bookshops. Is it simply by clicking through to Amazon, or is it when one of the titles is bought? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share #14 Posted March 7, 2007 Andreas, can you explain how the forum makes money from the bookshops. Is it simply by clicking through to Amazon, or is it when one of the titles is bought? It's only if you buy. The forum gets a small provision depending on the title and how many books were sold that month - it varies from 4 to 6%. Regards Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted March 7, 2007 Ok, no problem. I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother you in any way. :-) BTW - Fixed... Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyp Posted March 20, 2007 Share #17 Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Andreas Ernst Haas' "The Creation" would be on my top 10 list [actually #1], readily available used, but of course, long out of print. Just a thought. Thanks GaryP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyp Posted July 3, 2007 Share #20 Posted July 3, 2007 William For me, Haas was the first [there are still only a few, IMO] whose work was truly artistic. He just saw things that others didn't, and was able to put his vision onto a piece of film. He was/is a real inspiration to me.
