Really? I'm just going through my copy, and I can't say I agree. It seems to
have a fairly consistent design. I like that it starts off with the works of
photographers using Olympus products, talks about the lens line-up, then
finishes up with a system review and definitions of technical terms.
I note that this book is not copyrighted. It's such a great book that I'm
tempted to take it apart to do a proper digitizing job on it and then post it
on the Internet, but I just can't bring myself to do tear apart a perfectly
great book.

Thanks for reminding me that the WayBackMachine still knows about Lee Hawkins's
Olympus info that was at the Brashear School website. That URL is currently 404
in real time.

The eSIF is missing an entire section that I got somewhere else that includes
detailed service information for the bodies. I think those things came from the
Lee Hawkins pages.
