I hope this is appropriate to the forum, if not, please delete. Myself and my co-author have just finished our two volume book set on the Japanese Army of the 1930s and 40's. Over 650 total pages of uniforms, weapons, personal items, ephemera and equipment. This book was a community effort with some individuals from around the world providing information and items. All contributors are acknowledged within the book. We have already pre-sold the first 21 Deluxe Editions that have the author's signatures and a special book mark made for these volumes. I post now the copies I have received today. They are expensive as they are full color, digitized and privately published. The cost for us is $150.00 for the two volumes. We will tack on an additional cost for the weekends, and evenings after work we devoted to this project. Those of you that purchased my Italian militaria book last year will understand the close-ups of the items, period photos and emotional content that is inside to give the collector, historian, wargamer and modelor good insight to what the soldiery of the time period looked like and thought. Best to all.

The internet order site is supposed to be up this weekend. I'll post the site tommorrow. Get em' while you can. I think the last 21 sets will disappear fast. Gunnar(my co-author) has received his copies as of this evening and is mailing them off to the last on the initial list. All of my copies are gone.
). Thanks to all for your patience with this and the delay in printing. I think you'll enjoy the product.
