I thought it only fair to post this on our forum. We are down to about 60-70 books left to sell out of the first 1000 copies. We held back 20 books from this printing to offer a first volume boxed set when the last book from the 3 volume set goes to print.
So, if you know somebody looking to get one, get it in the next month or so. We will probably be sold out after the Show of Shows in February- we may actually sell the last book there (fitting, since the first was sold there last year).
Most may not realize this, but Bruce and I bore the full cost of this project, start to finish- research, travel, pre-printing cost, printing cost, etc. We self published and self printed this book. At this time, we don't have the resources to reprint Kriegsmodell. It's very expensive to do, and since most guys have one it would take too long to sell enough to recoup the cost of printing- this comes out of our pocket and our collecting money. Maybe, MAYBE we will print some more when the first volume comes out, as I forsee some built up demand when that book comes out.
It's been a great run. We sold most of the books the first 6 months, and were happy to have a slowdown at the end, and will have sold out in 1 year. We enjoy bringing our version of the best 98k book to collectors out there, and the next book will be no less than the first- better if you ask me, and I'm a late war collector (or was )
Thanks
Mike (and Bruce)
