Books about Wound Badges

[Christophe]

There are several books about wound badges.

One seems to be : "German Wound Badges" by William E. Hamelmann. ISBN 0-931065-07-0. Matthaeus Publishers, Dallas (USA).
But can't find anything more on it browsing through Google... or this Forum.

What are the Wound Badges books you know ?
Which ones do you recommand ?
Any comment on them ?

Please, could you post here exact and precise data about them : title, author, date of publishing, publisher, language, ISBN number.... and if possible, a pic of the book cover.

In advance, many thanks.

Cheers.

One seems to be : "German Wound Badges" by William E. Hamelmann. ISBN 0-931065-07-0. Matthaeus Publishers, Dallas (USA).

Just a precision : this book has been published in 1993.

Has someone any comment about it, a pic of its front cover ?
And if interesting, where to find it ?

The Hamelman book is the only one I know of dedicated strictly to wound badges. His book is a bit disappointing, mainly because of the horrible picture quality. I still use it though, as it is the only game in town. Somebody SHOULD write a book about wound badges though...its an interesting topic.

Hi Andy,

Many thanks for your answer.
I prefer telling it right now : I won't write this new book as I'm a beginner in this field. .
Could you, please, post a pic of its cover ? Easier to identify if by chance I can find a copy of it...

Many thanks.
