It is a german book by a german author, he and the publisher worked on the A- and T-series cameras. As far as I know there were no other language editions.
But look him up: Ludwig Knülle

Search for The Canon T90 Performance Book , probably published by Canon, as there doesn't appear to be an author named. There's one on ebay at the moment.

As a matter of fact, there's a PDF online. At 27 pages it's probably more of a sales brochure than anything else. Funny, I thought it was thicker than that.

Yes, i was just looking at the PDF posted by Flatulent1
file:///C:/Users/zzmoo/AppData/Local/Temp/Canon%20t90_performance_book-1.pdf

It was a fairly "Amazing" camera.
It did a lot.
Rather fast flash-sync
Complex metering choices
TTL Flash.

If it had been an Auto Focus Canon, it probably would have been produced for several years.
I guess it came around right as Canon was starting the EF Mount.

I did not realize the T-90 was only made for a very short time.
It is, sort of, a fascinating camera. Very capable.

I am not sure if there was a similar scenario from Nikon, Pentax, Oly or Minolta.?
The T-90 is an interesting story

I chose it because it offers at its meter the same nulling scale as the Profisix meter, my standard handheld meter. Thus I can "place" deliberately the metered value at the plus/min scale. The scale is even one stop wider at each side. The meter even yields more features than the Profisix. And if offers 3 metering angles per lens.

Also I find the camera ergonomically fine for me.

I will never own one, but i can understand why people like them.
The T-90 is a fascinating "Side-Note" in the history of photography.

What Sekonic Light meter offers the same spot meter option with averaging several readings into one?
