    In pm's with Andy I have been saying to him that decent books are my downfall.

    I beg Andy's absolution for this series of sins.

    Pocket Battleships of the Deutschland Class: Amazon.co.uk: Gerhard Koop, Klaus-Peter Schmolke, Geoffrey Brooks: Books

    Battlehships of the Scharnhorst-Class: Amazon.co.uk: Gerhard Koop: Books

    Me 163: v. 1 (Luftwaffe Classics): Amazon.co.uk: Stephen Ransom, Hans-Hermann Cammann: Books

    ME163 Rocket Interceptor: Volume 2: Vol 2 Luftwaffe Classics: Amazon.co.uk: Stephen Ransom, Hans-Hermann Cammann: Books

    I did not pay the Amazon price, bought privately from a gent in the US.

    If thou dost buyeth and dost readeth with great care and intelligence thou is not a sinner: RemeDesertRat chapter 1 verse 6

    I wouldn't know Tom, I'm not that religious or well skooled, but thanks for the correction all the same.

    Cheers

    I splashed out last Christmas on two really good books regarding Tiger Tanks.:)

    I suppose that puts me "Past Redemption".:(

    Excellent reading though.:D

    Regards

    welcome to the club! I do the same see a book I want get it then have to purchase associated reading that supports it.

    Wife complaining spare bedroom is not a library for your books.

    Bring on KINDLE thats what I say.

    So I am a sinner as well

    I have just bought 4 books on ebay, saving a fortune on normal retail prices and allowing me to get the 4 books for less than the retail price of one..

    At this rate I'll need a new book case, I think the Kindle is a great idea but there is a lot to be said for the feel of a book in your hands, being able to cross reference and flick back etc at will.

    No Tom, I think that he does mean 'rights' - He has the 'right' to a last request when Andrea finds out about his book budget !:)

    Andy - "Blackadder" first series - "The Black Seal" - Prince Edmund goes out to get the five most evil men he can get to help him take over the Kingdom...... "Friar Bellows" is coming for you. :)....... or perhaps "The representative from The Bank of Black Monks" from series 2.
    ( That red hot poker...... painful !)
