Latest book received

[white knight]

Only seems to be out in the Hardcover version. I'll have to wait for a softcover version to match my existing volumes.

Did you have to order it from the states, Proff? or could you get it at some European online book store?

Amazon Germany wants 40-75 Euros, Amazon US 17,95 Dollars + 8,95 p&p. Guess where I ordered.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

I have pre-ordered that at the amazon.de in September for 29,90 EUR

looks like in the meantime it's not more available there:

I ordered it from the States.

Than I was lucky Plynkes. I received it two days after I ordered it. Maybe it was so fast because I preordered it nearly a year ago ?

I think it is more a case of Teutonic effiency

Bummer. I have Blue's Story on pre-order and it still hasn't come. Amazon said it was delayed.

Liars! They're reading my copy! :x

This part of the saga was one of my favourite segments, as it was all about Verdun.

Had an e-mail from Amazon today, its on its way, hurrah! Had a sneak peek in Waterstones today too

[Plynkes]

Just checked my emails, Phil: Me too!


My brother and young Siklee will be pleased, and all. It's family tradition that each year I always buy them their own copy of each new Charley's War reprint when it comes out. It was a big part of my brother's and my childhood reading (hell, it was my brother's only childhood reading), so it is great to relive it with the next generation in snazzy hardback form.

I am new to Charley's War, I was too old for the comics (wash out my mouth, you are never too old for comics!) but I am enjoying the reprints, good stories and so much detail in the drawings.

Are you aware of the dedicated website?

Yeah,  that's where I stole the picture for my avatar from!

SOMEONE has contracted a bad case The Great War...  :roll:

Edit: The red-covered book is "A Riflemen Goes to War". It's the account of an American volunteer in a Canadian regiment. It's largely his account as a sniper and machinegunner. It's fascinating - as much for what it says about the author as it says about tactics and history.

[Driscoles]

Pete !

Are you working on a new project ?  :wink:

Except "The Rifleman goes to war" I also have those books.
Interesting !

Miss! Murray is copying me! He's buying all the same Osprey books as me! And T&T! He's doing it just to annoy me! I don't want to sit by him any more. Can I sit by Kristelle the French exchange student instead?

[Driscoles]

I googled Kristelle  and the first hit I had was this
LOL

Unfortunately I dont speak french  

[Plynkes]

Blimey! That isn't the Kristelle I knew (who wasn't really an exchange student, just someone I met in St. Malo), unless she's ..um, dyed her hair.

[Zafarelli]

I knew it! I just knew it, but I still had to click that link. Driscoles, you are a bad man ::
