German Armor fans....

Where did you find it, and what was the cost?

The second version, 43-45 you can get on Amazon, $49. If you search for Jentz and get the Tiger Tanks (truly amazing) or Combat Tactics (still waiting) you'll see the link for used and new that sends you to other dealers. I got the first and Tiger T from a place in Florida who is usually the lowest price on that link. $41 both times. Beware, he is kind of slow and laid back, both shipments were really late, but he responds well to inquiries and even was willing to substitute a more expensive book for no additional cost.
His website is www.collectorsbooks.com but it seems cheaper to order from him through Amazon (both in price and shipping).

Thanks, Ausf. I appreciate it.

Well I don' t know if this have any interrest but I have 10 books on the Tiger and I can do my own litle rating here:
Books by Thomas L. Jentz, Published by: Schiffer Military History:
D.W. to Tiger I: Text, pics and drawings describing the difference between the different Tiger I models:
V.K.45.02 to Tiger II: The same but for the Tiger II models.
Tiger I & II: Combat tactics: Mostly text some pics describing the Tigers tactics, Interresting but not alot of information for the modeller:
Tigers at the front: Pics Pics and Pics lots of good refference:
Books by Wolfgang Schneider, published by J.J.Fedorowicz:
Tigers in combat I: Pics of the army units, some text describing the units combat history, good refference:
Tigers in combat II: the same but for the SS units:
Books published by J.J.Fedorowicz:
The combat history of Schwere panzerabteilung 503: Text mostly by former members of the unit lots of pics, to me its the best book:
The combat history of schwere panzerabteilung 508:
The same but for 508:
Books by Jean Restayn, published by Histoire & collections:
Tiger I on the Eastern front: Pics and text describing the units on the eastern front, good refference: ( A smile counts as a half thumbs up )
Tiger I on the Western front: Pics and text describing the units on the western front and in Tunisia:
The two books by Jentz on the Tiger I & II is the best seen from a modellers point of wiew but the book about 503's combat history is the most interresting.
This rating is my personal rating and hope you will find it useful.

ive got all the Tankpower books and the Ryton books on the Tiger and there good ones to get

Great run down of your books Monrad
(got any nice photos of the Octopus camo on the Kingtiger?)

Thanks Monrad,
I'll check out the 503 history.

Im getting a new book at the end of the week, I'll do a litle rating of that when I finish it.
ausf- the 503 is great but also very expensive I paid 211 $ for it. But to me it was worth every penny.

So far I've been unsuccessful in tracking it down...$211 is alittle steep for me although I am sure it's worth it. The next over $50 book I was planning to get is 'Grenadier' which is currently around the $90 range. With two young boys and all the subsequent expensives I find the justification for expensive books hard to come by. Our local libraries are great in that you can order online from all over the state, but most the above mentioned books can't be found there.

You will be glad to hear that the next book im getting costs 50 $, I can' t remember the title but I'll let you know once i get it. Go to this site http://www.jjfpub.mb.ca/unit_histories.htm and scroll down I see its curently priced at 80 $ so its much cheaper now than when I bought it. I think you will find alot of interresting books at this site.

monrad,
great site, thanks.
or maybe, NO thanks because I am about to start throwing money their way.

I knew you would like it , they have a lot of books I would like to get for myself.

That's a 'I'll have one of everything' website. Maybe a second mortgage?

I haven't seen a book on that site that I don't want.

That's the truth...Even Meyer's Grenadier is $42, the least I've seen it was $90. I couldn't hit the button fast enough but they don't let you buy from the out of print page, even though there's pricing. I emailed them but haven't received a response yet. The description say it's a long awaited reprint (their telling me!) so I would think it's available.

Let me know when you hear from them! I haven't bought anything from the site. The books I have I've bought in a book shop here in DK ( Thats why its so expensive ) but I was thinking about buying the next book from their site, so I would be interrested in knowing if there is any problems.

Will do, they already answered my inquiry about Grenadiers, no go...but I'll be ordering real soon so I'll certainly let you know.
When you get a chance, wave to my family, they're to your immediate East.

Will do. Sweden? or the Baltic countries?

I have been to their store. It is about a 3 hour drive from me, but its the major city in our area. They also have a model store at the same location

Svenska

You are not a Swede by any chance.

slight.

OK
Well I'll post my rewiew of my new Tiger book in this topic. So it may pop up in the top of the list sometime within the next 5-10 days. Or maybe even sooner depends on how good the book is.

Cool,
I'll try out that website by ordering 7,000 km in a sturm....seems interesting.
Jentz 'Combat Tactics' should be in my hands this weekend and I don't think I can hold back from ordering 'PanzerTruppen 43-45' so I'll review as well.
Is the $25 to western Europe high or average a shipping cost?

Monrad your lucky you dont live over here becouse all them books look the same price
until you notice the Doller sighns been replaced by a Pound sighn

Pounds! aauch that gotta hurt. So that means a 80$ book costs 80£ + shipping, wow.
Hmm 25$ is a high shipping cost, but the 503 book still costs 200$ here in DK so 80$+25$ is still cheaper.

well the $80 books in the shops over here for £80

If you guys want to check out what post prices from NYC would be to you, I'm sure we could work out a way for me to get them, then overseas. As long as this doesn't violate any international trade agreements or Forum rules.

Hey that sounds like a good idea, and if it violates any Forum rules we can allways mail eachother. Im in! altough I don't when I'll be getting my next book. I don't think it violates any international trade agreements, I mean how can it.
I don't know where to find out how much it will cost but I'll ask around.
