A few weeks ago, during a discussion on the MMIR (Ampersand) Sherman book, one of the participants mentioned that the green light had been given for a new edition. This has now been confirmed at the AMPS Show, where MMIR had a poster announcing that the book will be coming out in the fall....JIm

Hi,

Actually, I am the person who paid in excess of $100US for the Sherman book. I was very happy to report that a new edition is coming out. I will gladly buy the new edition when it is published. And,no, I am not sick about it. As I indicated at the time,I wanted it and had lost several auctions and wasn't inclined to lose another.

Well,the poster at AMPS said FALL 2005...We can only hope...I,for one, am happy to see it announced and will happily buy a copy.

I wonder if we can convince them to do a book on Soviet WWII tanks and SP guns...and maybe a book on Panthers, one on German halftracks and armored cars and US halftracks and maybe a book on US SP guns and tank destroyers and then, when they do all of those,they can ...oh,right,that is about all of the interesting subjects.

On the same board someoone reported that the "Modelling the Jagdpanzer" book is there (he saw it), though I only saw it on the squadron site... others do not have it or do not give a price. They are, apparently, also working on a book for open topped German TD's.

Oh yeh of little faith. I told you that I had spoken DIRECTLY to Pat and he told me it was ok to leak the revised adition release. As to what is next, I,m not sure, I can tell you the stug book is at least a year away, if not more.

Hey John I beieved you, I was just surprised to hearit announced so quickly - that's all. As far as the Stug book is concerned I have 251s and Tigers to work through ...Stugs will no doubt capture my attention 6 months down the line...

Next time you speak to them, tell them a KV book would be a godsend....Jim

Yes I Too was there and saw the updated posters. I spoke to them as well. The Sherman book is supposed to be a reprint of the old material w/ new updated material of builds and kit supllies available now.
