Weeha! Books!

Pelorat · 02-24-2003, 09:13 PM

Two of the Jan Still books I ordered, Imperial and Third Reich, arrived this past week. Waiting on Volume I now.. still looking for Vol. II.

Highly impressed with the quality and the sheer number of photo plates. Drool.

Sigh. So many guns, so little green.

They are great books, nice pictures, good information, I have one by the side of my bed (Weimar, still learning about them

)

I'm reading Jan's Third Reich volume - for about the 50th time... After re-re-re-reading that, I'll probably read the Weimar volume for the first time (again - after a couple of weeks of not looking at it, it all looks "new" to me

However - some nights I diversify, and re-re-re-read Gibson's Krieg book. However - I think I have that one pretty well memorized... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

John Sabato · 02-25-2003, 09:47 AM

it is really Half-heimers disease... you only remember half of what you should... I have it too

Frank · 02-25-2003, 11:07 AM

John, from the statement John D. made, it is a bunch more severe that half-heimers!! That's why I diagnosed it as CRS Syndrome!!!

The good thing is - that by tomorrow - I'll forget I was mad at you for posting this.....

Oh - and CRS? Is it able to be cured? If so - I'm not sure I want to know... I've bought my favorite Luger 10 - 12 times from myself, and each time I buy it, I'm as excited as I was the first time I saw it.....

Now - BEAT THAT!!!!

Edward Tinker · 02-26-2003, 12:07 AM

Hey John, I was reading this cool new Luger book, done by a guy named J. Still, you ought to read it...

Frank · 02-26-2003, 08:47 AM

John D. The next time you want to re-buy one of your Lugers, just send me the money and since you already have the Luger, we'll call it square.

Maybe I was wrong on my diagnosis, I think you have Advanced CRS Syndrome!!!

John D. · 02-27-2003, 03:45 PM

I'm sorry - I forgot all about this thread.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Frank - no problem at all..!!! If I remember, I'll be sure to send you a check in the mail... Tell me when it gets there, OK??? Heh, heh, heh...!!!

Hey John D., did you make a profit on the books that you sold to yourself? They are going up in price faster than the real Lugers. I've been looking for Stills "Weimar" book at a reasonable price for a long time. Next time you sell one to yourself maybe I'll step in and outbid you.
