Hi zuikists,
I think a got something close to a fang: the Shipman book on OM-88,
Om77, OM4 and super zoom 300, printed 1989. Paid 8 Euros + shipping.
Later I looked it up in ZVAB.com, which is a collective register for
used books, and there it was : 75 dollars! (+ 25 for shipping to
Europe). Its in really nice shape and it answers some questions I had
for a while...But still I do not understand, why this is so expensive in
the US. 
Anyone to explain that? 
Just half an hour ago I was the high bidder on the Pangerl book (350
pages, in german) together with a OM4- Handbook for 13,50...not in my
hands yet. 
Ok, just to make you envious ( non-OM-wise though) some days ago I got a
Kaiser enlarger with a mint Rodagon 2,8/50 in very good shape for 10
Euros... (paid 65 Euros for a used Rodagon alone some years ago and
thought it was a good price)
