The publisher makes you wonder why this book is so expensive, and when it arrived my suspicions were answered! First off, the book has no dust cover and contains about 150 black and white photos (no color) with pages not being of very heavy weight and with a only a semigloss finish.
Some (about 20%-30%) of the photos are new but most have been seen before in other publications. The book is only about 8.5 x 11 inches so the size of the photos are not very large. There are numerous diagrams throughout the book. If one is familiar with Fedorowicz books for about the same price this book is much more inferior in quality. This book should retail for about half the price of what is being asked. Am I going to send it back? probably not, but I think you have to be a die hard fan of German Army battle tactics and Units depolyed to really want it. I think had I seen it on the bookshelf in some bookstore I probably would not have bitten. All in all, if you are looking for fresh references of German materiel and uniforms in service you will be disappointed.
