      For the modest sum of 25usd, the OP could post images to his heart's delight to promote his book.

            Thanks for the feedback gentleman. I should have waited to post this announcement until I had paid the member fee...my apologies.

            I have attached the front and rear cover of the book along with two pages from it as well. Our intent was not to continue on where previous authors have left off...but to forge a new path and system. We focused on large detailed color photos of over 800 WHW pieces, we felt that this detail would be appreciated by most collectors.

            Like I said before, thanks for the feedback!

                  Guy - I think there would possibly be copyright issues if they used the Tieste numbers or at the very least they would have had to get his permission which may not have been forthcoming. I think this will be a good companion book to Tieste's because not everyone reads German. Besides, the colour photos are also an improvement.

                  Good luck Chrys + Joe!

                    Looks like this research project will soon become as much a part of collectors' libraries as the Tieste volume has been. It's very welcome, and many thanks to the authors for their contribution to our hobby!

                        Thanks again guys for all of the kind words. Pre-orders have been brisk and we are very excited to finally get this in everyone's hands.

                        I'll release more sample pages from the book the closer we get to the 11/1/11 release date.

                        Thanks again for all of the support...we really appreciate it!

                          ** Update**

                          I just wanted to let everyone know that our new book is now available. We sold out all of our pre-orders and we now have copies for sale through our website www.winterhilfswerk.com.

                          Feedback has been very positive so far; the most positive aspect has been the large color photos. This is exactly what we had set out to do...so it looks like we hit the 'mark' so to speak!

                          Just wanted to thank everyone that pre-ordered their copies! Hope that you all are enjoying it...

                          I'm including a few more pages for review...

                          Thanks again,
                          Chrys Alexander
