Edward R. Hamilton, a bookseller out of Falls Village, CT, sells many of the books of interest to collectors on this forum, at a discount; this includes Schiffer books. He charges a total of $3.50 postage in the U.S. regardless of how many books you order. That adds to one's savings substantially when ordering multiple books. Hamilton accepts only checks and money orders in payment. He mails a listing but can also be found on the net:

The following is a fascinating book, hardback, listed by Hamilton at only $3.95: "ANOTHER RIVER, ANOTHER TOWN: A Teenage Tank Gunner Comes of Age in Combat - 1945" by John P. Irwin. This young soldier completed tank gunner training at Fort Knox before shipping out to europe. From a repple-depple in Stolberg Germany he was trucked to a frozen field filled with armored and support vehicles where he was quickly and informally assigned to the 33rd Armored Rgt of the 3 Armored Div. His intiation was intense, surprising and humerous. After combat for some time in the M4 Sherman, his short-handed crew was given an M26 Pershing with no training and turned loose. He later describes his crew's combat and defeat of a Tiger. The author provides a good insight into the daily life of a U.S. tank crew.

I have bought many books from Hamilton over the past 20 years. He is a good man to deal with.
