I am VERY jealous. That is amazing. I wish I had actual hard copies of my books. I do also have The Other War as well. Still need to read it.Gents you have very impresive libraries, plenty of new books ideas.
I was very fortunate to stumble upon this thread.
I took advantage of your pics and show them to my wife, so I prove her that mine is very small (some +260 including ebooks and PDFs by the incomplete Excel I started to avoid buying duplicates).
Her answer was that I lack quite a bit of them, so I guess that is a kind of encouragement to get some more, when budget allows.
BTW, last time I was able to go to my parents house (due to the f.ck.ing corona and associated mobility restrictions I'm unable to go for some time) I took those photos to start the aforementioned Excel, so they could be considered my library. Some of them aren't pictured but I know that I have them, somewhere.
It could be seem strange to have the books at my parents house yet, but since I lived here and there for some years in rentes homes I kept them there as a safe measure and, since I manage to "lost" some books (not aviation related), I think it isn't a bad idea so far.

The Other Battle is very worthy about the BC vs the Nachtjad, very well written. It hooked me from the startI am VERY jealous. That is amazing. I wish I had actual hard copies of my books. I do also have The Other War as well. Still need to read it.
Very impresive!Years of collecting, mainly Luftwaffe but some Bomber Command mainly on the Halifax my Dad looked after in WW2View attachment 618346View attachment 618346View attachment 618347View attachment 618348View attachment 618349View attachment 618351View attachment 618352View attachment 618353View attachment 618354View attachment 618355View attachment 618356View attachment 618357View attachment 618358View attachment 618364View attachment 618363View attachment 618360View attachment 618359View attachment 618358View attachment 618355View attachment 618358
