Thanks for the comments .. they are really welcome after the long hard struggle at the end to finish Volume 1 off.
Without input from our working group (Jon, Hans, Paul to name our key technical team, and many others who helped with this book) we could not have done it.
As Ham mentioned earlier, the "collective" really worked this time to a degree we could only have envisioned when Kriegsmodell was created.
This time the engine was firing on all cylinders as it was truly an international effort. Mike and I hoped that this book would exceed the mark set by KM and
I believe we achieved that goal.
Now the next task is to make sure that Vol. 2 meets or exceeds the benchmark set by this current work.
Once again, Mike and I personally thank all of our members who in any fashion helped out, and a special callout to the aformentioned group - Jon, Hans, and Paul.
Mike has not turned on the public access site yet due to our backlog.
The link to the domestic orders is as follows and is live.

Sometime this week the site will go live once I get caught up.
A limited number of books did go out to a handful of distributors, hence the availability through those channels.
Thanks,
Bruce
I got the email saying the books were ready, but there was no price and no address to send a check.
I sent an email asking What the heck and have never gotten an answer.
I guess that Nr 13 is setting on a shelf somewhere thinking it has been forgotten.
Somebody email me where to send to $$!

I should explain that. I set up a backorder list, and even posted on this forum and Gunboards that I was adding people to the backorder list. I stated that these guys would get the first email about books being ready. The main reason we did that was to prevent a Tsunami of orders from burying us. I think it worked, as it was just barely manageable (*and still is). We aren't going to "go live" on the site until we get the hardcore forum guys out of the way, which will get their books first before the public (who don't follow the forums). With that said, some guys like yourself missed those postings, or didn't read them because they didn't say "naked chicks" or "mint bnz45" on them.
Use the link below to order, you will find it much easier. Sorry for the confusion, it has cause a little. I've been handling these issues one by one by PM or email.

Our next post will be on Gunboards.com K98 forum. We were going to post on WW2 Weapons forum but that was taken care of, saved me some time and energy.
Im in Canada, will I get a notice when my package is shipped?
Are there still numbered copies left in the new number system. I think someone wants to buy my un-numbered,so I might as well move up to the east side!
