I am a collector of self published books by veterans. I think I have well over a hundred now from all over the world. Most were bought from the veterans themselves. I am in the proces of building a website dedicated to these books. I have some online at Self Published books by WW2 veterans . Not all are on here yet, however. I will add more books the coming weeks (here and on my site) and vamp up the site. I'd appreciate it if you know of any self published book, you could mention it here. Personally, my main interest is Europe, but I have books on most theatres right now.
Stevin, thats a great site and im very impressed that you tell people where they can get the books for themselves, I should imagine a few Authors will be getting e-mails and letters as a result all the best Jason.
Thanks gents. Very much appreciated. This has been on line for quite a while and is in desperate need of updating, which I will do hopefully in the next few weeks. This is just a small number of the books I have. Must say that I have to check on some of the email addy's and addresses as some might not be valid anymore. If anyone know of self published books, please let me know about them here. Regards, S.
What a great idea Stevin! I'm sure the site will get a lot of interest from the folks on this forum! All the best.........

What a great site. I have the Ronald Tee book "A British Soldier Remembers". Look forward to seeing more. Lesley
My grandfather wrote a book which he self published some 20 years ago, it's not been available for many years so i've recently put it online as an ebook. I'll probably be getting it available in print again soon so i'll let you know when it's available. The ebook is available here - Smashwords - Ersatz Krieg: A True Story of Men Captured, But Not Conquered - A book by Alban Snape Robert
What a great idea and website Stevin. I own three all from the Burma theatre in WW2. From Dingle to Delhi, by Jack Lindo. From Dingle to Delhi - Jack Lindo - Google Books No Mandalay, No Maymyo (79 Survive), by Captain Gerald Fitzpatrick. Memories of a Perpetual Second Lieutenant, by Charles Coubrough. All good personal accounts of their experiences in India and Burma. Hope you can include them at some point. Steve
Good work Stevin! Here's another book for you: "A History of the 7th Field Company RE, 1939-1946" by Thomas M J Riordan, privately published in 1984. Lee
Thank you all for the encouragement and the titles. I am workiing on a new lay-out and will be adding titles soon. Paul - It is good to be back. Had fallen off the face of the (on-line) world... Slipdigit - Ah, how nice to see a familiar face again! Your words and imput is very much appreciated, gents...
You too. I thought you had fallen off of the edge of the world. I sent you a PM with lists of my books on LibraryThing
