A new book in my library.

Wandered over to Half-Price Books today to see what they had. Made a couple of purchases. Found three, though, that really weighed on my mind, so I had to run back (with the wife's permission, of course! ) just before closing, and lo and behold, there they were, still misplaced on the shelf where I'd left them earlier today. Fate, right? So, for around $40, I picked up these:

Yeah...these last three are first-editions (checked the publication page). Unfortunately, they didn't have Vol 1 or 2, and I guess since it was getting close to closing time, the guy didn't really want to check his computer to see if they were available elsewhere. Oh, well....the hunt continues...
 
RA, I love Winston. I have Vol. 1. but none of the others. Great find.

The 190 book arrived today. Fantastic pics but the text is a bit lacking. Only two paragraphs for the developement until operations. And a few mistakes. But the pics are very good.
 
Heh....keep lookin, bro....I found a site that was selling the four-volume set starting at $600. That, of course, is what convinced the wife that I should go buy these....LOL Individually, I found them on Amazon for about $35 each, paperback. So they've got to be worth something. Once I (carefully) remove the stupid labels...

Nice. Looks like 4 from an even bigger series. Are there lots of pictures?

Hello,
Yes, there are lots of pictures, more than one per page (about 300-350 pictures...). Lots of pictures are black and white and some in color...
With these 4 books, I have 6 books now. I'm happy to buy these books, very interesting. Just one problem for me, I don't speak German, so I try to translate .
 
Just ordered this book (hardback) from Amazon for .88 cents!!

"Battle of Britain" by Roy Conyers Nesbit

Nice one Chris. Don't know what the book is like, but the author is a well-respected and accurate researcher, himself a former WW2 RAF aircrew member (Coastal Command).
 
I saw the book mentioned in the "Best BoB Book" thread, did a google search, found on Amazon at the right price and.....on its way!
