This rare and prototype camera belongs to the collection of Claudio Asquini. this was the forerunner of Zorki 2-(single window) and Zorki 3 series.

What about this book, I haven't heard about ot before. Is it worth buying?
And is there anyone in Europe selling it, I really hate buying from USA companies nowadays as they rob in postage [V]

Unhappily there is no seller in Europe. I gave exclusive rights to Petra Kellers but she told me that David Tomlinson of RCCCUK (our member) also sell these books to "Russian Camera Collector's Club" subscribers.
