Yes, this is a very good "one stop shopping" reference for a modeler starting out or who wants to broaden a very basic library. Probably NOT for the advanced modeler or my pal, Georg Eyerman, who has just about every super reference volume I have ever seen (and some I haven't before he got them).

Bill ask him what he has on the Cromwell as I have four reference titles and none of them cover all of the facts.

Done. They have nothing in their list, but may be working on something. Surely a book like this one for British armor would find a market with modelers.

UPDATE:
I checked with Fonthill's editor, and he and another staffer both said that Allied books don't sell very well. German stuff is a perennial. So I know this isn't what Dennis and others want to hear, but it's the facts, ma'am, nothing but the facts (a free virtual decal sheet to the person who correctly identifies that TV reference).

So, Darren, help isn't on the way, sorry.
