When Squadron-Signal "reissues" a book
Posted by alumni72 on Monday, April 16, 2007 10:58 PM
I just noticed on Evilbay that the same seller has two different F4F Wildcat in Action books listed - the older one, which I have - in Action #84; and another one, in Action #191.  Does anyone have both of these, or at least know what the differences are between them - besides the cover?

Number 84 was an earier issue then number 191. Number 191 will be more thourgh and accurate of the two

Either way, it figures - and either way I'd end up getting the newer version anyway - I can't stand not having a reference book for a subject I am fond of.  Must be nice to be able to correct your inaccuracies and charge the consumer all over again for the luxury of having the right information.  Sort of like government work.....

A new number is not a re-issue, but a completely new book on the same subject, re-issues of old books are done under the same number and revised one will also have the same number, but show revised on the cover. New books are done years after the first one and have the advantage of more material becoming available
