I won’t be returning my copy for that.Speaking of illustrations, I applaud the use of black and white. Colour would add nothing here but cost. So often that is the case.I’m enjoying the book for its practical advice, authoritative description of collimation, historical context, anecdote, and distinctive voice. The layout and typography look home-made, but that only adds to the book’s charm and authenticity.I am sure any binocular geek would enjoy it tremendously. Get it while it’s available!</blockquote>
