You can get some good deals, however they are fewer and further between. I 
recently picked up an old 1950s book that I have only heard about before, 
'Photographic Optics by Greenleaf . This was not exactly inexpensive, 
however having looked around for it a while ago it ain't that common either!

Thanks for the bookfinder URL - it seems that I paid less than half the 
going rate for a copy of the book. A result!

Those LF lenses are still going for more than you can buy them for new 
though...... unbelievable...

Cheers,
