NEW BOOK ABOUT EXAKTA CAMERAS

Aguila & Rouah – Exakta Collection – a new Revised Edition by Michel Rouah
translated into English by Michael Spencer

In 2003, two of the world's best authorities on the subject of Exakta cameras and equipment, Clement Aguila and Michel Rouah, published the most comprehensive, illustrated guide to all things Exakta in French.

Sadly, Clement Aguila has now passed away but Michel Rouah has now completely revised this book "Exakta Collection" bringing together all the research and findings from collectors and enthusiasts from around the world and the result has been translated into English and will soon be published.

There are quite a lot of changes from the French edition, and even from the English edition of Chapter 8 that the Exakta Circle published in 2008. There’s no doubt that this will continue to lead the field in Exakta information.

The new English edition will be litho printed (four-colour process printing will be used for the cover, greyscale elsewhere, using higher-resolution image setting (so one should not see any dots!) on quality 100gsm paper.
The books will be properly case bound, sewn and glued with 3000mic boards for the covers and foil blocking on spine and front cover.

Due to the costs involved, the translator and editor, Michael Spencer, is asking purchasers to pay for their copy in advance. Prepaid copies will also be available for collection at the International Exakta Meeting at Chalon-sur-Saône in May 2014, at £65. Copies will not be available before the meeting at Chalon, because it’s Michel Rouah’s meeting and Michel’s book! And Michael hopes that this will get more people to attend.

Prices, including postage, at today’s conversion rates:

UK £75; Europe 93 Euro; USA $138; Canada $CAN 143; Australia $AUS 146.
