August 13th, 2023 – Update

Dear Friends,

Today, we have some housekeeping to take care of – some news and information on a new book from Loyalty and Honour Publishing (LAH), plus a shipping update on two titles.

This week we will be placing an order for the new book, The Men of SS-Schule Tölz, as well as a couple of titles from LAH that have been reprintedSommer 1943 – Totenkopf Division, and Das Reich Tiger Commander. Please place your orders by end of day, Sunday, August 20th, 2023 so that we know how many to bring in from England.

For those who ordered Waffen-SS Camouflage Uniforms, we should have it here by the end of this week and will fill all orders as soon as possible – we have several extra if you have not ordered it yet.

Lastly, for those who ordered Junkers Ju 88 Volume 3, we will have it in early September. The North American distributor has unfortunately gone out of business and it was quite a chore to find a supplier. That said, we will be receiving a limited quantity of this title. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, do not delay!

That’s all for now. We hope that you have a great week. The next titles up for auction will be announced in the next few days!

Take care and stay safe,

John & Natalie

July 12th, 2023 – IT’S OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY!

Dear Friends,

To celebrate 40 years of providing you with the best military history books, and to brighten up your summer, we have a very, VERY special announcement! We have acquired a very extensive and diverse book collection, and, over the next few weeks, you will have an opportunity to add to your library slightly used titles at very good prices, and fill in some gaps with out of print ones at prices below those on sites that really empty out your wallet. We want to be fair, but also have to weigh in our work and the fact that we have to pay our bills.

HOW THE AUCTION WILL WORK

Here’s how the auction will work: For the rest of the summer, every Thursday or Friday, we will feature one or more publishers’ books (plus a miscellaneous category, and…. *A RARE CATEGORY*) . We will provide the title, author, and publisher as well as the reserve price. For more information on the titles, you can search our website (www.jjfpub.mb.ca) or “Google-it”. If in stock, a book’s price will be around 50% of the regular price. If out of print, for most titles the price will be close to the original regular price, a bit more if in as new condition, a bit less if there is some wear.

In several cases, the extremely rare and desired price may be quite high, but lower than some sites ask. As we only have one of each title, you may bid at the asking price, or higher if you really want to be competitive. We will accept the highest bid. In case of a tie, the earliest bid wins.

There will be a link to each book and you can order as normal. However, when ordering, do not forget to include your bid in the customer/order notes section. Bidding will stop at midnight of the Monday after we send out the email.

PAYMENT & SHIPPING

Due to the high charges from credit card companies and security concerns, we encourage you to use an alternate method of payment. We encourage all of our customers to use Pay Pal, but our Canadian customers can also choose to pay by e-transfer.

Regular shipping will apply, but no further discounts will be applied. You can add any of the regular titles from our web site to your order.

PUBLISHERS & SPECIAL CATEGORIES

Here is a list (in no particular order) of publishers and special categories that will be featured in the coming weeks:

JJ Fedorowicz Publishing, Trojca, Helion, Classic/Crecy, Hikoki, Pen & Sword, Casemate, Midland, Fonthill, Frontline, Peko, University of Kansas, Stackpole, Greenhill, Eagle Editions, Kagero, MMP, Leaping Horseman, Ryton, Start Luftfahrt Verlag, After the Battle, Concord, and Schiffer. Also, Miscellaneous and *Rare*.

We will send out the first batch this Friday, which will be Helion titles, followed next week by Classic/Crecy books.

We look forward to supplying you with some of the titles. Enjoy the auction!!

June 13th, 2023 – Update

Dear Friends,

Today we are featuring a 2-volume set on Stalingrad by well-known Swedish historian, Christer Bergström. This work on the ground war during the Battle of Stalingrad is the continuation of Christer Bergström’s previous book Operation Barbarossa 1941: Hitler Against Stalin and supplements his Black Cross / Red Star series about the air war on the Eastern Front.

Stalingrad – New Perspectives on an Epic Battle. Vol. 1: The Doomed City covers the importance of Stalingrad and the Luftwaffe’s largest and never before discussed mistake in 1942. The newly-released Volume 2, Stalingrad – New Perspectives on an Epic Battle, Vol. 2: The City of Death, covers operations in the city itself and the Soviet counteroffensive to the surrender of the Germans and Romanians in the pocket.

We will be ordering this set at the end of the week and should have them in by the beginning of July. Place your order by end of day, Thursday, June 15th, so we know how many to order!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Take care and stay safe,

John & Natalie
