This is an open letter to the CEO of B&H PhotoVideo (located in New York City). The reason why I've decided to post this letter is that the two volume book (almost 1500 pages) is loaded with the latest and greatest high-definition equipment with fantastic details about the products.
Greetings Sam,
All I can say is WOW. The Source Books are great. Thank you for the them and please pass this along to the staff that created them. As you stated in your letter, you can find a lot a information via the internet (i.e. Google), but the Source Books are so much more. The information and details about all the products are fantastic. As the economy gets tighter and more and more people think they can do the "professional" jobs out there with very little skill, these books set the professionals apart from the want-a-be's. Technology has been changing a such a fast pace that it is hard for small companies like ours (3 people) to keep up with all the latest and greatest items. The Source Books will allow us to learn about the new (and old) products and how they can work together in this ever-changing world of Video Production. The Source Books remind me of being a kid and getting the chance to browse through the Sears Catalog during the holiday season. Thanks for making me feel young again. I can only image the costs (including the postage) and time that went into creating the Source Books and it is truly appreciated that they landed on the office desk a couple of days ago. Thank you for the gifts and please don't let the others in the world convince you to discontinuing making them for the professional industry.
One last side note: I have known about B&H Photo Video for years because of the previous Source Books. Anyway, I was visiting the Connecticut/New York area two years ago and I just HAD to visit the store in person. It was a thrill and pleasure to finally see the place that I have spend so much time reading about through the pages of your books. And yes, I did buy a few items while I was there in the store!
All the best!
