Could you please point out where this store is located? I like to flip through a book before buying.

There is a flip-through video of that He 219 book here: Heinkel He 219 - Scale Modelling Now

I appreciate the reference, but it's a "How NOT To" video ... 2+ minutes of breathless blather focused on the cover, and ten seconds flipping over to show the back.
During that time we could have seen at least 20 pages by which to judge more than the dust jacket.

Thank you for the effort though.

Thank you! But I'm hoping to flip through a lot more books at the store...

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

You can play the video at half speed, and pause it regularly.
That's what I did years ago to decide whether to buy this book or not.

The first 100 pages seem to be about design, development and technicals, which is my primary interest.
The remaining 120 pages or so seem to be a diary, which is less interesting for me.
I decided not buy it because I did not think it would add much to the He 219 books I already had.
Moreover at that time Chandos announced a new He 219 book which I think would be more interesting for me, in view of the quality of their other books. However until now that book is still in the air and no indication of it's ETA.

It depends of course on one's specific interest whether a book looks attractive or not.
I suggest that anybody interested in Ferguson's book should read this topic, opinions about the book differ:

Was looking through a book catalog last week and saw this interesting new offering for $22. Then I looked on ebay and found an excellent used copy for $11, including shipping.

I finished this one last month. This was a very good read in my opinion. Like many of Cleaver's books, the snippets of first-hand accounts really draw you in.

Sounds like a hot topic.

Picked up a hardback copy of "Zemke's Wolf Pack" for $1.00 at the library sale room today. I know I have read it before, but based on looking through it, it seems I don't recall much about it. Looks even better than I recall.

This one came in the mail last week. Hoping to dig into it once I'm done with Claringbould's and Ingman's Solomons Air War Volume 3.
