romualdo Posted May 14, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) What was the original selling price for the 2011 (2nd edition?) of Erwin Puts "Leica Compendium" (published by Houten) - was it for sale commercially or could you only purchase it from Erwin? I presume it's OOP I have the option of purchasing a pristine copy of this text - the seller has asked me to name a price (what i am prepared to offer) - having knowledge of the original selling price will help me in making the decision wrt an offer range Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrogallol Posted May 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2020 There is one here for £79 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-LEITZ-LEICA-LENS-COMPENDIUM-BY-ERWIN-PUTS-HARDBACK/274334654731?hash=item3fdf9ea10b:g:uxUAAOSwv-1ekCh6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted May 14, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) That's the 1st edition, if I'm not mistaken. The 2nd edition has a white cover and a lot more content. Edited May 14, 2020 by Ecar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted May 19, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 19, 2020 My 3rd Edition (Nov 2011), bought direct from Erwin cost me €65 - but then I had to cough up an extra €20 for postage to UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecole Posted May 26, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 26, 2020 As a result of this thread, I found in a drawer, still in his wrapping, a totally new copy of the second edition of Erwin Put's "Leica Compendium". Unfortunately, my wife attended the discovery and "wondered" (soft rendering of her reaction) why I spent € 90.00 mailing included, for a "Leica item" in 2011, ten years after selling my Fontenelle collection. My "explanations" and the fact that she "knew" me for 60 years did not help to solve the problem. Result : have a look to the illustrated advertisement section... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
