Just ordered my new book!!!

[Swager]

I've been waiting for this book for awhile now!  Could of bought it for $100 about 5 years ago.  I just ordered it today for $29.95!!!  It is called "SPITFIRE: The History"  It is a very big book with 634 pages and 1,250 B&W photos, and 16 color pages!!  Could not believe it was for $30!!  

I know what you're thinking, "You are CO of JG2 and you bought a book on the Spitfire?"  

The Spit has always been my favorite and I always look for a reason to fly one in AH!!  
They do not have it in stock yet.  Middle of this month they will send it out!    

[Karnak]

Where from?
Please, PLEASE tell me!!!!

Hmm where did you order this?

[glopuk]

Pick up a copy of Flypast, there's usually an advert for it in there.

Swag - I hope you just ordered the newly released revised edition

Sundog!  Where did you order it from???   I ordered mine from Zenith Books!! page 9!!  I couldn't believe it when I seen it!  Glopuk,  This is the first time I seen this offered in Zenith books in about 5-6 years!!  So I'm sure it is the new version.  It has a pitcure of Spitfire MJ730 on it.  MJ730 still flies today and ownership of this Spitfire just changed hands last year.

Whoever is intrested in this book, let me know and I will send you the phone number and stock number of the book!!    


Funked I e-mailed Karnak the phone number and order number for the book, but you do not have your e-mail available on your postings!!  I won't bite!!!    


Phone #  1-800-826-6600

Order #:  131180AE

Good Luck!!!


PS.  They answer the phone as Motorbooks!!

Swager tell me the details please, I want to buy it.

Barnes & Noble online has it too, but it doesn't ship until November 15th.  If you use this code (BNTOUR6), you'll get $10 off a $30 order too.  Do a search on tatoo, and you'll find a book of temporary tatoos for a buck...that'll get your total over $30    Just ordered mine...Thanks Swager!

If it's got the same cover as the one on the link I posted, then it's not the revised edition.

This month's Flypast is the first one advertising the new revised one with a different cover, so I'd imagine the revisions are pretty recent...

(Which probably explains why I got mine so cheap from them in July!)

Glop, out.

The one on B&N gives the publish date as November 2000, so hopefully it's the new one

Thanks guys!

I bought my mine through the keymag website...I buy many books form Zenith Avation, however, when I ordered the Spit book I didn't see it in their catalog. I did just recieve `Black Cross Red Star', Volume I from them though. I can't wait to start reading that!

Hey Swager, being an LW fan, I don't know if you have any of these books, but they are all excellent. Too bad the Hs-129 book is out of print, it is another excellent book.

Classic Motorbooks

Their series called JAGDWAFFE is excellent and their series on the Me-262 is the finest books I have ever seen and read on that aircraft program.

To follow up Sundog -

It's just Classic Books (or Classic Publications), Motorbooks has nothing to do with them AFAIK.

And to reiterate - the Me262 series has been nothing short of superb - and until recently Vol. 1 was *very* hard to get hold of - luckily it's just been revised and reprinted, so if you want it - get it now  

The other books in there are excellent too, I *really really* recommend Hs129.

Glop, out.

Wow, that is a good deal.  I had to special order mine from the UK and spent around 100 bucks.
