Does anyone else have The Encyclopidia of Tanks and Armoured Fighting Vehicles? This is an excellent book as it has info and pictures of literally hundreds of vehicles from 1900 to about 2010 or so. This is a great book and I recommend it to anyone. My wife got it for my at Coles for about $30 Cdn.

If it is the one by Christooher Chant i have it out from the library at the moment until the reprint (due out soon) arrives from Amazon. It is IMHO a very good book well worth getting.

Just checked Amazon in the UK and its not yet published. From the review it it seems to be full of info. It is about $60 over here which could put me off getting it.

I have one entitled "The Illistrated Encyclopedia of Military Vehicles"
Hogg & Weeks also deals in the same timeline but up to the 1960's
