Sturgeon Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 AKA The "Bitch About The Price of Books" thread.Some resources - books especially - did not stay in print for very long, or are so highly desired that they have totally unreasonable price tags. The below books, from my Amazon wish list, are great examples:The M16 Controversies - $349.45 The Guns of Dagenham - $450.00 The Bren Gun Saga - $500.00 The Grand Old Lady of No Man's Land: The Vickers Machine Gun - $547.20 EM-2 Concept & Design: a rifle ahead of its time - $684.23 This One Copy of Complete Guide to Handloading - $1,788.00So this thread is to connect those who have books or resources that may be costly or hard to get to with those who need those resources. It may be too expensive for everyone to drop five hundred bucks, but that's what the Internet is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 You had me at "collective". My personal white whale is a five volume set of "GAU: People, Events, Facts in Documents" which appears to be completely impossible to obtain literally anywhere.

xthetenth Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Damn, compared to that the various ________ Ship Design and Development books by Norman Friedman look crazy cheap. I've even had some decent luck at coming up with rare books/textbooks about the early modern period. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
