Thanks!

Claude's work is truely inspiring, and I'd agree the book is a good investment for modellers.

It was a brave step to publish his own work and I hope the book gets the support/sales it deserves.

Having followed the progress on-line, I was very lucky to be able to see this superb masterpiece 'in the flesh' at Euro Militaire, and it is absolutely awe inspiring. And whilst most modellers (or mere mortals) would have deservedly sat back and enjoyed the result of their hard work, for Joachim it was merely a starter, as he moved straight on to build the rest of the village...

I bought this book a few weeks ago as well. A great read, and the pictures are gems - it left even my wife speechless (something that doesn't happen often - I mean her not speaking )

I believe the book is now available from distributors

Rudi

Thank you Keith for the review, thanks all for looking!

I would like to add that the book is available with 11 resellers throughout the world and also by me for the lowest shipping possible. A 12th will be probably be added this week (in Greece). All of them are listed on my website.

I tried to get some more in countries not yet covered , but i have around 30 unanswered requests until today!

Thank you and have a nice weekend

Claude

The book is now "in stock" from Lucky Model

Hi everyone,

Still looking for a present for Christmas? It's still time to order "Capturing Clervaux" anywhere in the world!
It's in stock everywhere!
It will be also available in Greece starting mid next week and is probably in stock now also in UK. Check all available the resellers on my site http://www.diorama-clervaux.com

Thanks for allowing me to annoy you with my advertising, but is is soon over.

Cheers

Claude

Claude,
My copy of Capturing Clervaux came today and I've just spent the last couple of hours enjoying it. So much information, great pictures. This is a must have for anybody who models. Even Model Railroaders can learn from this book. Such fast mail service too. This is a much better gift than any shirt or socks I will get for Christmas!
Thank You Claude ! And have a Merry Christmas !

Tom

Ordered mine..and received it in no time! Postal services fast as lightning....and a plethora of marvelous pictures and useful modelling tips, Claude keeps the standards high!.

I was lucky enough to see the complete diorama in the flesh, but the marvelous pictures can still warm your heart!

Well done Claude and thanks a bunch for an exceptional experience!

Cheers

Romain

Well , I was surprised to see this thread coming up again!

@Tom, you are talking about the first book? I thought you had it already ! Where did you order it from, if I might ask for curiousity? Anyway, which ever it is, I am glad you like it. I remember you wanting to visit me some years ago on a planned Europe trip, Romain did so some weeks ago and was the first overall, but soon followed by Joan from Catalonia and all the city council and museum people.

Thanks Romain for the visit and the contact afterwards.

The first book sold very well and I have only a 100 left.

With the prospect of selling in for the next 50 years at the museum book shop I will reprint more soon.

I have an offer running on my website for the combined buying of the two books. € 50 the couple, shipping included for everywhere in the world!

It's to late to get it under the Christmas tree, but the next anniversary is certainly around the corner :-)


Have a nice Christmas everyone

Claude

Claude,
I do plan to buy one after Christmas when it's time to but MYSELF some presents!!
Merry Christmas to you Comte Claude,
J

Hi Claude,
I started re-reading the first book when I ordered the "Final Hour". Your shipping was so fast that that I have only made it to the Tunnel Chapter. Hat's off to the Luxembourg Postal system and the US Postal Service too! One week from your door to my door at Christmas that is amazing !
I look forward to reading both books when the madness of the Holiday Season ends and life gets back to normal.
While my friend is no longer at SHAPE in Mons I still want to see Clervaux in person. Please keep everybody up to date when and where it will be on display. Because you just never know....
Thanks again and have a wonderful Christmas and an excellent 2014!
Tom
