About meHistory major in college who went into computers to pay the bills and buy books. I've worked in my high school and college libraries and in a used bookstore. No weekend is complete without a visit to at least one bookstore. I'm definitely a book collector and have not read all of the books I own. Yet there's always at least one book I'm in the process of reading at any time. The books that sparked my interests years ago are Quentin Reynolds "They Fought for the Sky", Paul Carrell's "Scorched Earth", William Green's "Warplanes of the Third Reich", Toliver and Constable's "Horrido", David Chandler's "Campaigns of Napoleon". Two good friends from years ago also helped my interest in Napoleonic history. The first, a high school buddy with the best personal library I'd ever seen up to that time and who could talk for a couple of hours explaining Napoleon's Russian Campaign. This was reinforced in college by a friend who taught a two week course on Napoleonic wargames.

Thanks. That is exactly what I was wanted!
I have just now ordered the six books that were lingering in my shopping cart. I was going to do them at two per day (no shipping charges), but you gave me the excuse I was hoping for.
When grammie takes her chain saw to my debt card, I can now scream 'It's partly Hans Rudel's fault'.

I'd like your opinion.
Due to my esoteric interests, I recently ordered some Luftwaffe Colours (Ian Allan Classic Colours) books on support, training, and maritime aircraft.
I recently received my first copy of the support aircraft book. For my tastes, I am very impressed. But they have their limitations.
What is your opinion of the series?
I have 5 more on order and am considering ordering another 6.
From Amazon.com I am getting them for about 27% off. Is there a better way?
Due to finite resources, I do not expect to get any of the fighter (Jagdwaffe) books (yuk yuk). Well, maybe the night fighters, and the jets and rockets, and ....

I hope to add a lot more in the next few days. Now, come to think of it...if I add ALL my book collections she may be right! She was meaning ALL my books not just my military ones.

I showed the wife your LT page and the amount of books. She seems to think I have over 6K as well.
I like how your page is set up. I need to work on mine.

I just recently stumbled upon Series (under Common Knowledge). I made some significant changes for my library under 'United States Army in World War II'. The changes would appear to affect your data as well as mine. You comments are solicited.
You may not know what I am talking about.

The Bookman is probably my all time favorite secondhand haunt, second only to maybe the late great Acres of Books. You're probably already aware that the Bookman's sister store, Bookman Too, went out of business? Sad sad sad. I hope the original Bookman can survive this storm. There's a also a relatively new store on Katella just east of Knott, called A Castle of Books, I like a lot.
See you around (and do please input those classics!)

You know how a lot of LTers get all excited when they happen upon another user who shares a ton of books with them? Well, I was perusing users who live in my vicinity, came across your voluminous library, saw that though between us, we share nearly 10,000 books, but somehow only share two (2!) in common! How cool is that?!
You've got yourself a veritable military museum. You could open a niche market bookshop on your collection alone - easily. Fascinating stuff!
Pleasure happening upon your site,
Brent

Archives that were taken included the complete archive of the German Naval Ministry (starting in 1870).
Other archives then in the Eastern part of Germany were taken by the Sovjets, but till now not given back as far as I know off.
About the Docavia books, they are fetching high prices in France and even outside of France. The one you have bought must be equal to the Fighters volume, which is a beauty. I think I bought the volumes I have now of the Docavia series in the USA of all places on Ebay.
Happy new year

You are welcome. I hope you enjoy the booklet - I liked the Ambrose essay and the essay on the Victorian Army. When you eventually sort out possible plans to see the Collection in Rhode Island, let me know so that I can make sure that the Curator (Peter Harrington) gives you the "cook's tour"......Andrew

In the mid 1990s the Anne SK Brown Military Collection at Brown Univ sponsored a series of speakers (one a year) who came on campus and gave a talk on their area of expertise. Stephen Ambrose gave a talk on WWII. All of the talks (papers) over about an 8 year period were compiled and published in a small paperback "booklet". I'd be happy to send you a complimentary copy of this booklet for your library. Each paper makes for great bedside reading as the essays are about 8 to 10 pages long. Subjects range from the Victorian army, WWI, Custer, and WWII. I can also send you a pamphelet from the Collection which gives an overview of all the treasures in it.
If you'd like the booklet shoot me an email with the best mailing address. my email is awoelflein@hotmail.com The mission of the Anne SK Brown Military Collection is to spread awareness of the Collection so it is a pleasure to be able to send the essays to someone with interest in the subject.
Best,
Andrew Woelflein

Saw you have a copy of my book: Herbert Knoetel's German Armies in Color. How have you enjoyed it? After publishing the book I went to Denmark and met with the artist only child (she's in her 80s now) and had a great meeting talking about her father and his art. During WWII Knoetel was a Major and in the post war period he survived by painting art on a commissioned basis. One of his patrons, as the book mentions, was Anne SK Brown. Her military art collection, built over 4 decades, is one of the pre-eminent military art collections in the world and is housed at Brown University in Providenence, Rhode Island. Over the years the Collection (of which I am an alumni trustee) has published about 10 books. The curator, Peter Harrington, has done the lion's share, about 6 or 7 books.
I was just out in LA on vacation with my family. My brother lives in LA. Not sure where you are in CA but if if the LA region I'd be happy to sign the book and show you a PowerPoint presentation of art from the ASKB Military Collection.
Regards,
Andrew Woelflein

Thanks for the compliment about my library. I must confess, when I realized that we had a sizable overlap in our respective libraries, I simply copied yours to get started. Then I went back and filled in the ones you didn't have.
Regarding the Glantz atlases: in general, the German sources are not as legible. He must have been working from microfilm and the quality varies. I have had some luck copying at 400% to see details, but it also helps to have another source, hence the value of the Soviet maps.
There are lots of sources for Kursk maps, not so many for the other atlases he carries. He draws from a wide variety of Soviet sources that are clear and are definitely worthwhile. I just wish I could read Russian.
