Yeah, thanks Al! I had a look around the websites while gathering the vendor info and it looks like some interesting publications there. And, hey, gotta love the logo

Personally I would be a bit dissapointed with the quality of the paper used .... I hate it when text, graphs and images from the next page cause shadows on the page you are looking at. At £16.99 (same price as the Panzerwrecks books) I would expect more/ a bit better quality paper. I dont mind investing in books and this looks very interesting, but would expect it to be priced accordingly. No offence Rob or Allen ... just stating my opinion.
