Perhaps you could translate and annotate it, then send it to the CCP4BB?

ps seriously, why do you say no need for review--is it boring, not well
written, obsolete, or what? James is still pretty useful, I think, and that
was put out only two years later....

Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallogrphy today
i have a suggestion for a nice book for you,
you will love it. it is in German, great!, has over
400 pages and it IS THE SOURCE.
M. von Laue
Roentgenstrahlinterferenzen
Physik und Chemie und Ihre Anwendungen, Band VI
2. Auflage (1st edition burnt down by cannonizing at WWII)
1948
Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft, Geest & Portig K.-G., Leipzig
everything is covered, even protein crystallography,
however in a very skeptic way, no need for a review ever.
Cheers

To understand the fundamentals of any discipline, I have always found
it
completely worthwhile to go back to the original source, where the
idea was
first discovered or presented. This is really, really valuable,
although not
always possible. I wonder whether others agree with me about
this...but I
feel pretty strongly about this matter. Often one can read many
reviews on
some subject, which never really get to the gist of the matter, but
when one
reads the original source, the subject is usually laid out clearly
because
guess what: nobody knew it yet, so it had to be explained clearly.
Furthermore, one gets a sense of the excitement of discovery, and the
unsurety about some new proposed hypothesis which has not yet become
cannonized into fact. For this reason, it is sometimes even
worthwhile to
saunter down to the...library!
