Weeha! Books!
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. |

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!!! |

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.

In fact, I kept all the profit. Come to think of it, how do you think I was able to purchase that Luger from myself several times over.... |
