October 13th, 2023 – Update

Dear Friends,

We have a quick announcement for you regarding the first issue of an upcoming magazine. From the publishers of U-boot im Focus and Luftwaffe im Focus comes HEER im Focus No. 1.

From a cursory look at the content and format, this magazine seems to justify the rather hefty price tag. Having just learned of this, we were only able to secure 10 copies. So, we need to receive your order by noon on Sunday, October 15, 2023!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Take care and stay safe,

October 10th, 2023 – Update

Dear Friends,

Today, we have 3 titles for your consideration. From Grub Street Publishing, we have Me262: Hitler’s Jet Plane. From Casemate, we have a really interesting title to feature, The Defeat of the Damned. Last, but not least, from Pen & Sword, we have Gebirgsjager: German Mountain Troops, 1935-1945. We have limited numbers of these titles in stock, so please order as soon as you can in case we run out and have to order more.

*** IMPORTANT NEWS ***

In a matter of a few days, Waldemar Trojca’s new book, Aircraft Carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army, Volume 2, will be shipped to us and we should have it at the beginning of December. As soon as we receive the shipping charges and have a look at the current exchange rates, we will set the price and add images of the cover and some sample pages. Please do not order until we add the title to our website. Thank you!

That’s all for now. We look forward to hearing from you!

September 19th, 2023 – Update

Dear Friends,

Today, we have some good news to pass on! If you haven’t acquired Waldemar Trojca’s SS-Panzerkorps in the Battle for Kharkov 01.-03.1943, here is your chance to grab a special edition! Although this title is now out of print, we have the possibility of getting our hands on several copies of the special edition. This edition is the same as the original but is bound in faux leather (as are several of his other books).

The cost for this special edition is $210.00. As always, we will not charge your card or send you a Pay Pal request until the book is in our hands. We expect to have them in stock sometime in November. This is a great option for those who wish to spiffy up their collection. You can use the regular edition as a reading copy! We have to submit our order by Thursday, Sept 22nd, so reserve your copy by the end of Wednesday, Sept 21st!

One final note, we apologize for the trouble that the PayPal payment option has been causing some of our customers. We believe that we have corrected the glitch now. Your order should no longer be cancelled when selecting this payment option.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Take care and stay safe,

John & Natalie
