Hello,

I know the Hunnicutt Stuart book is currentlyout of @#$% print. Any idea if it is due to come out again (I heard a rumor that anothe publisher was picking up some of Hunnicutt's titles) or if there is a hobby shop or bookstore which is carrying it for a reasonable price...?

His books are great --- bummer that by the time I have a relevant project or the money saved up to buy it, POOF! it is gone. Arg!

Thanks!

Regards and Aloha,

The Hunnicutt Stuart book is one of the more sought after Allied armor books. I've seen it on ebay sell over $200.

If you can hold out until someone reprints it, a very good option that I took advantage of is what's called the "inter-library loan system". Go to your local municipal library and ask the check out librarian for a form. Fill out the appropriate info and in about 3-4 weeks (or earlier), one will be delivered to the library for you to take home. The loan period is for either 3 or 6 weeks. I ordered the Stuart book twice this way until one day I lucked out and grabbed one from a used bookseller at a very reasonable price.

Good luck,
Roy

Thanks, Roy,

Sounds like a great idea. And I'm glad somebody got a copy at a reasonable price!! I'll keep watching.

Much Aloha,
