Well, I have two of the three volumes but haven't yet picked up the one on
early CZJ lenses as really being outside of my area of interest, though I
will pick it up the next time I send in order in for some books on old
cameras.  Thiele has self-published these and the main CZJ one is on either
its second or third edition by now.  They are quite good albeit the
information on the Oberkochen lenses has some questionable data on the TLR
Mutars which Charlie Barringer is trying to sort out with Thiele.

These books are highly recommended.  They are avaiilable from Petra Kellers
in the US and from Peter Loy in the UK, as well as from Lindemann's in
Germany.
