A new book in my library.

[FalkeEins]

..anyone noticed that the Classic Smith/Creek Fw 190 Vol 3 is currently the 'best-selling' military aircraft book on amazon - and now the pre-orders have shipped (£34) they've even dropped the price to £27 !! (indicated RRP is £55 ). While I personally don't believe that this sort of aggressive pricing is good for the publishing industry (definitely not the niche or retail side of it anyway..) how can you pass up such a bargain..

Well, winter is closing in and you need some adult literature....besides Penthouse and Playboy, excellent articles in them there magazines I must add...

 

[Airframes]

You mean you read those things?!
Good haul on the 'At War' books old chap. Let me know what the Mossie book is like, when you get it. As discussed earlier, I might just add that one, and the Typhoon/Tempest, to my 'At War' collection.

 

[Lucky13]

Will certainly do old bean....

..just had a strange note from author Eddie Creek re the brand-new Fw 190 book (Vol 3) - he said 'take the dust jacket off ' and ' we are not responsible..'

arrghhhh!!!

well having got over my surprise, I don't honestly feel it will spoil my enjoyment of owning the book...on the other hand the publisher might pulp the whole lot and it could turn into a rare tome..feel very sorry for the authors after 40 years of work!

..is this a minor detail or a catastrophe..? is the whole print run affected ? as I said I don't honestly feel it will detract from the pleasure of owning this very nice book (the contents are as advertised ie Fw 190 Vol 3..and very good too)

Could be worth a fortune one day....
