Feb 2011 Books in a Continuing Saga

So Going through Camera and grabbing all the stuff i have back up in Files, And was not Blogging at the Beginning of the Year So some Catch ups


 More and More of my Michael Reynolds

Half the marked Price why not for $7.50

And on the List so at $6 bucks, Find Out more of the D-Day Resistance by SOE

Again for $10 bucks Unfortunately the That the Two shops within walking distance shut down One was just a Temporary rental Shop, But they always seem to do 50% SALES . there are still Several left in the CBD etc

But a Good reference from Amber books One In A series of  Fighting Techniques books, Fighting Ships, Napoleonic etc

More of the Osprey WWII reprints (re packaged(er Licenced)) Up to 39 of 52

Exactly the Same as the Osprey Campaign But Hard Bound, Good Basic reference as a Start The Pacific titles I might not have bought But grounding into Tarawa, Pelilu etc for Future Wargaming

And this Takes the Prize (The Cake) It was $10 in the End and wish i had of bought the Pile of them
as there is not Much that isn't in here, Divisional Write Ups, Order of Battle for certain campaigns
Aircraft types amount Built, Ships , Prime Ministers and Presidents of the 1914 -18, Employment rates, GNP
etc etc

If you see this Buy this and If I get around to Buying the World War II Databook (On the List!)
Same Authors Ellis and Cook..

October and Back books


More books Some Just in Last Days other from the last few months....

So a few in the Book case Great Fighting Planes from 1985 Just had some Great Artwork $5 and My continuing Osprey off shoot Great Battles Of World War II up to 39 (5 Missing will write to the Subscription offer)

And Some old Time Life books Leather Bound with letters from 1982 from Editor & Subscription
There were more But for 10 for $20 bucks, Just could Back them Home, and the next day all the others Gone as there were some Age of Sails Books.... (pity)

Just a look inside mostly good Essay type Chapters and some Good Famous Prints and Phots
and good Artwork within all (the Carriers at War is really Good), But R.A.F at War book...


   And again Some of the Exceptional titles,  With again good Information within as Long as it isn't so dated
as in Future Aircraft Design, But a good insight to thoughts from the Cold War era......
  Catapults is a good Diagram


Looks like i have made a decision to back to Napoleonics well i have a few Hundred Plastics but back to my interest in the Napoleonic 


Hard to Find But a 1983 in Pretty more than average condition, had the Aircraft version But seems they lost it will try again for a Cheap good Condition idea book,

 Covers most vechiles, But some good Artwofk should maybe have done the pages on D-Day funnies
It only cost under $15 with postage ex ABE books..
 Just a General look at pages......


 So one of My shelves/or work Bench that has been taken over........

books on Berlin new old and replaced

OK TODAY WE ARE ON ABOUT BOOKS:

 there is a theme in all these 2nd Hand Books that i was unaware of 
Just coincidence 
 Now about 50+ of these replacments from the Local second hand Op Shop In fact a Good Friend came over to the Newsagents I was  in and suggested, I Buy them. I was sold at First anyhow, and the price $10 the lot:

 Replace of Anton Beevons, No point not having it again Theme Starts from the Top Down now

 And this has been sitting on the Chapel Street Bazaars shelf for some time, so needed a new Home!


 And Yet another from Down the Street


 Ok, three boks on Berlin 1945 and several Magazines I assume



And As i was leaving the Second hand dealer on The Windsor railway Bridge, there were several boxes of books, I didn't go through them all but
Replaced an oldy but a goody Some Good Colour photos in this collection and the prices were dropped down for me

Cheers

More books

Continuing my Osprey collection with The Newsagent supplied Battles of World War II , No 12# St. Nazaire
seemed to have missed No 10# Pearl Harbour




So a few page shots:
And the latest doubling up on the Photos of the Crete one                                                                                                                                                                   



Also one I obtained a few weeks ago from Amber books, they are reprints or redone and there are about 15
(well more all the time mostly on World War Two subjects Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe, PanzerGrenadier Divisions and Such)!. Will Blog as I get more.


just a taste of what is inside, and as said not a bad book. You would possibly go into more specific books
for more information etc.


on as you can guess WW1 aircraft a good source book and ideas for 1/300 (or other scales I pressume)
The only problem is it is only profiles so need to to do top wings, But have enough sources of German Camoflage and those Fokker D.VIIs etc stripes etc. But for a more than basic grasp and TO&E etc,
But yes for my looming 1/300 WW1 project
