    Kuno,

    That looks a great book with lots of interesting pictures !

    From your point of view, where would be the best place to buy one?

    Regards

    We have actually two distribution points: Auckland for NZ and AUS and Switzerland for the "rest of the world". The options you can choose on the website are depending on where you want the book to be sent. For UK it would be "Europe".

    Kuno - quite a lot of those sort of people that promise things like that never deliver. I don't know about this one, but I think with the sort of book you have produced you are better off self-publishing.

    Was meant more as a joke... was quite a difficult decision to do it as a 'private venture' but granted all the freedom to do it as we wanted it.

    FromNZ:

    Our book was first seen in NZ at a display day for the NZ Military Historical Society on Sunday. See attached my photos of the display.

    Much interest in the work and many people expressed their thoughts about the exceptional quality of the book. I haven’t had a chance to promote the book properly yet, but I will be doing that over the next couple of weeks.

    Cheers

    Colleagues;

    Half of the print run is distributed now. Only one has complained (he got it as a present and would have prefered BEER instead). I would be happy, if I could post the other half as well to people interested in the LRDG and other Special Forces of the Desert War. Please check out the website or drop me a note...

    (I need space for my new project :))
