apparently the virtually non -existant "panthers to the front memoir" has been incorporated into a new book about to be published by Helion on the actions and fate of the Brandenburg panzer grenadier unit that finished its days in Berlin , the price is £59 which is a lot , postage to me (living in the UK , WHERE THE PRINTERS ARE BASED ) is £9.50 which is excessive to say the least ! does anyone have any info as to whether its worth shelling out this amount of dosh for this book ?

just read that publish date is now nov 2013 .and it does seem to be a great book ! still think the postage is ludicrous though

Terry,
Looks like an interesting title to keep an eye out for.
Hopefully once it's released it will be picked up by other sellers and we might see some more competitive pricing.

Terry this book is not a Helion book. When it's ready it will be published by Luftfahrt Verlag in Germany. Helion is just another online seller who has the book listed on his website. It was originally supposed to be released around now but they pushed it back to the end of the year.Originally posted by Terry OToole View Post
The publisher confirmed to me that they have a ton of new information which recently dropped into their lap and so they are completely remaking the book over to incorporate the new info and photos.
As for shipping costs. It's the biggest headache for every book seller. With fuel costs having doubled over the past 5 yrs. all the shippers have increased their prices. So yes it does indeed cost more to send a little old book to a customer.Comment

ah my mistake , i thought Helion were the printers ,thanks for the up to date info :Remy it does sound like a cracking book and i will invest , as to postage sending a fairly large heavy book in UK cost me £6.50 first class ,so to charge £9.50 is still a rip off ,Originally posted by Remy Spezzano View Post
