erush: hahaha !!! u got me! i was just thinking coz i'm a big collector of hot wheels (toy cars) and i bought a book about it. i'm a volkswagen enthusiast too and i have books about it too. since the darkside sucked me inside the blackhole, i guess i'll buy some books about afvs.

kennethc: thanks! i'll try to find it on the bookstores. i saw some magazines, something like artillery (i forgot the title sorry).

thanks guys!

I have a small book that measures 3 x 2 x 1/2 inches and fits perfectly in the pocket! It is from the COLLINS/Jane's Gem series. It is entitled "Tanks of World War II" and covers every major vehicle used in the War, including some notable variants. The publisher is Harper Collins copywrite 1995 and it's priced at 3.99 Net British pounds, $8.00 US , and $11.50 Canadian.

The COLLINS/Jane's Gem series also includes one of Modern Tanks (which I want to get), Modern Combat Aircraft, and Aircraft of World War II.

Good luck in finding it. It really is a great little book!

Gary:

Try National Bookstore. You can get Collins/Jane's Gem Series as described by Duke for about P490 (I got mine at about WWII Tanks at this price.) And the one for modern MBT is also available.

Good luck.

I've got "Jane's Tank Recognition Guide" right here, and it didn't help me one bit with Chris's quiz!!

Who is this Jane anyway, and how does she know so much about military hardware?
