When ordering books, please note you'll need to select the button to where I will post it too. Nothing too tricky, if you live in Germany, click Europe. If you're inside mainland UK, click UK. Obviously there are some exceptions to this but for the most part this is simply enough. Bare in mind, if for any reason it'll cost me more to post, its going to cost you more. If you wish to buy multiples of a book or want a selection of different titles, its easier just to contact me first and I will sort out a the best price for shipping and see what magic deal I can work you out.
I know this will sound stupid, but I DO NEED A MAILING ADDRESS TO SEND BOOKS TOO! Once you complete the transaction, send me a message with your name, mailing address and books purchased. It doesn't have to be an essay but does have to tell me those things as a minimum. Believe it or not I have had buyers refuse to give me a mailing address to send books to that they wanted to purchase!
For anywhere else in the world, the shipping will most likely be the same as the USA, either pay that or contact me. If the USA rate covers it I will get it on its way, or I will be in touch.
If any dealers want to stock our books to display in shops or at fairs, please contact me and we can work out a deal that is beneficial for us both.

The guide to understanding German dog-tags is a simple to use guide in translating the German abbreviations into units that make sense in English. As well as giving an overall history of dog-tags.
V.3.69 Full colour throughout, A4 hardback over 250 pages about how to be the most authentic 101st re-enactor within the realms of sanity! Covers unit qwerks & markings, kit and where to get it, comparing all well known brands, what to do with it all and how to do it, ranks, TO&E... basically your 'bible' for all things 101st Normandy re-enacting.
This newly printed version of the rare and hard to find 1945 printed unit history of the 79th Armoured Division is truly fantastic. It is rammed full of information on the soldiers, units and battles they fought. This has been reprinted in the same style as the original, warts and all. With the only changes being a paperback to keep costs down and the maps are printed across the pages and not pull out. Don't miss out, a snipped of the price of an original! Hardback can be printed if required. £30.
The dog-tag compendium is planned to be the go-to book for everything dog-tag related. Containing in-depth details on World War 1 & 2 British dog-tags, German & American. As well as tags and ID bracelets from other nations including France, Belgium, Japan.
Also contains a section on the forgotten army dog-tag project and looks into the tags that were created and the soldiers whose details were put on them.

Do you have a book you want to
write or have written?
Since I was young, I never wanted a career of any sort... nope, not even train driver or footballer. The only thing I ever wanted to do was write a book. After writing one, then came the next and the next... then I was talking to a father and son duo who wanted to put together a book based on the 3rd Canadian Invasion plans, as seen above. The agreement they settled on was that I would turn all the files into a printable document, I would send it to the printers, I would pay for the printing and we would split the job of selling them. The profit would be split 50/50. However, the effort from the other side died almost after the first week and it turned into a hand holding babysitting job. Not what I signed up for or paid for. So that style of working arrangement could never happen again. I'm out of pocket and stuck with books I don't want. I actually give them away when people visit me! There is no profit and its still only me out of pocket. So, the next project I became involved in that wasn't mine was simple. The book would be written in text, with support documents and photos named and numbered. I would then compile everything into a book, this file is held on record with me, the printers will print it in any amount you like, with hundreds of options, you'll pay for the printing of the quantity you want. Prices vary massively depending mainly on how many pages you have, a colour book is twice the price of a black one, hardback is much more expensive than paperback and paper quality can have a little difference in the price too. All these options are down to you to set the price as you want it. All I ask is that you pay me a small amount added to each book for my work in creating the book. No set charge, no massive editing fees, no graphic design charges... just pay a tiny percentage on each book. Even the biggest hardback would only be a £2 a book charge on top of printing and shipping.
Then once you have your books everything is down to you on how you sell them. Ebay and Amazon as familiar to most, and so is most social media platforms. However, if you wish to register your book with an ISBN number then I can either provide you one at what they cost me; or you can purchase your own from Neilsons. I can advise if you want to go down that route. Be aware though that registering your book as an actually book with the book depository has plusses and negatives too it.
+ Your book will be listed on the depository and therefore can be seen my all book retailers.
+ Waterstones tends to list all books with an ISBN on their website. So you'll get free advertising on a HUGE platform..
+ You could get orders from almost any book company.
- You pay for the cost of the ISBN and the registering.
- You have to send copies to the large book library's in the UK at your cost. I think 5 is the most I've ever had to send. Although you pay for this, it is nice knowing that places like the Bodleian Library in Oxford has a few of my books in its archive.
So that is completely up to you to decide, however there is no rush. That can literally be the last thing you need to decide upon.
