Lubitel book-Lomography

hi all...
do not worry about it : I just received to day , some free example of Lubitel's book from Lomography : A nice book, writed in english, with many images realized with Lubitel camera (something like a 22x22 cm , square size photo album whith a very hard cover)
but which is rather rudimentary concerning the technique and the history of Lubitels.(it's a pity !!)

However you can admire a magnificent portrait of our friend Luiz and additionally I ...
Alain

Good news Alain! I was anxiously waiting for this book to come out! Would you terribly mind posting ISBN number for it here?

Thanks!
Vlad.

That of course would be nice, especially if it's signed by author . I can always use an extra one though

So I've read the book in its entirety, I gotta say, as far as Lubitel goes this is very in-depth work in terms of technical and art approach to the subject. I couldn't have done it better, great job Michael Kuhle!! And it was AWESOME to see Alain and Luiz in the book, very very cool!! And thanks to Michael for the mention of my name and the website in Credits section, I was mighty proud! First time I got into some kind of book ehhehehe...

Excellent book overall, highly recommend for anyone who wants complete information about Lubitel cameras. Also a very very high quality print, will make an excellent coffee table book with great photography and interesting information for collectors.

And I did find a camera variation in there I have never seen before in my collecting, who have seen this before? how rare is this? Is this authentic?

The following scan is (C) Lomographic society from the "Lubitel+ Love from waist level" book.

it is mine : a LOMO factory prototype which was refused (why ???)
this camera came directly from factory ( from research desk ) through the "back door" when the wall fell .

look at that ...Vlad ! so, before, clean your glasses !!!!

there was a long time I put this camera on the site .........

ha! You're right! I guess I've missed it somehow.. . Weird.

Here it is in the catalog:
