Weapons of the WWII Tommy - New expanded and revised edition

[sapper740]

Just ordered both expanded revisions to go with my copies of the originals. To anyone not familiar with David's books, they are the definitive tomes on the subjects of Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment of the WWII Tommy. When selling on ebay, I always state, "as seen on page such-and-such of David Gordon's book..." I'm sure that has helped sell a lot of kit.

Thanks Dave!

Hey Derek,

Since you moved to Texas, you'll be the only Canadian with a copy of the weapons book. At least until they break the postal strike up there. We've built up a lot of Canuck book orders but still can't ship them. Supposedly they will open the doors up there again on Tuesday the 28th and if so, I’ll have a pile of boxes to ship before they change their minds. I’ll bet the mail will be really slow to move in Canada when they do open since they’ll have such a backlog to deal with.

I've had trouble at the best of times shipping stuff both out of and in the last decade, back to Canada, especially since Canada Post started heavily using contractors to handle the mail in rural areas. It's gotten so bad that I use Registered Mail to simply send a greeting card to family members back in B.C. and even that didn't work last time. The birthday card I sent one of my daughters was returned after three months as "Undeliverable" I hope you're insuring your shipments of books.

CHEEMO!

Derek.
