Photo Dealer Camera Identification Guide of Discontinued Still Cameras by George, Gilbert; Photo Dealer; American Photographic Historical Society - 1988

New York: American Photographic Historical Society, 1988. Paperback. First edition. Fine. SHIPS THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING AND CARDBOARD. Introduction by Gilbert George. Staple-bound; 29 glossy pages; b&w photos; 8.5 x 11 inches. Originally published in 1971 in two sequential issues of Photo Dealer magazine, this volume reprints the entire "Official Blue Book on Trade-Ins for Used Equipment." Prior to the electronic revolution in cameras, a camera shop would take a camera as "trade-in" for a new camera. Since most photo-equipment dealers would not have seen many examples of many models, Photo Dealer compiled this list of discontinued still cameras with photos, descriptions, and identifying points. Includes models from Leica, Nikon, Canon, Agfa, Hasselblad, Kodak, Linhof, Robot, Polaroid, etc.
