Default NEW BOOK: British Military Trucks of World War 2

I am not sure if this has been posted yet. But I just bought a copy of the new "Tankograd Publishing" book "British Military Trucks of World War 2", written by forum member Les Freathy.
It's a real must-have for anyone interested in Commonwealth vehicles with hundreds of pictures, many previously unpublished. It will find a nice spot on the shelve, next to other publications by forum members like David Hayward, Nigel Watson, Clive Law and Bart's books!

Alex

p.s. I have no connections to the writer, publisher or seller

Alex,

Les did mention it in passing, so thanks for the proper heads-up here!

Did you buy it from the publishers, or from a local retailer? Enquiring minds want to know as it's on my wants list too.

Thanks,
Hanno

Darn expensive at abebooks. Better for Aussies to get direct from Tankograd publishing!
