Unfortunately I was a victim of card fraud... so I had to cancel my card. As soon as the new one arrives (hopefully this week!) I'll be sure to preorder!

That's what I did!

Ah! Didn't think of that!


Thanks for the heads up!

Awesome! I can't wait, someone might want to remind me though! November is a bit far away for my fleeting memory!

The book has finally appeared on the US Amazon. It says the availability date is 1 Nov 2008, but they have been wrong before:

Received my copy yesterday, a good deal through Amazon at the moment in the UK and as it isn't Amazon itself this time it actually arrived.

First impressions are very good indeed, some very interesting photos with close ups always of great value to the modeller and best of all it makes me want to dig out those soviet ships.

Congratulations Vladimir on an excellent and extremely useful book

Mike

initial examination of the volume does not disappoint--packed full of concise -but informative text--and supported by useful--and in some instances invaluable photos--it represents good value for money for anyone interested in that era

Cool. I haven't seen the final product myself yet :), so it's good to hear that it looks good :). Can you post a small review (even if this just sentence) on amazon?

Thanks,

Vladimir

There were some delays in printing due to the fact that Spellmount (the publisher) was acquired by some other company, but the book is being printed and and is in stock on amazon.co.uk. There are plans to sell it in US through Trafalgar books, but not sure when it will happen.

I would really like to purchase a copy, too, but as of this evening it's still not available in the US as far as I can tell. It is on UK Amazon, but isn't in stock and indicates availability in 3-5 weeks.

Yeah, we want it over on this side o the pond!

thanks! looking forward to it!

Now that i think about it i still need to pick up a copy of Wooleys book as well... I love how i can tell people that glance through it that i know the author (of course will a smug look on my face) ... I plan to do the same with this book as well (but don't get me wrong, i'll read it too! haha, it sounds interesting - especially since i'm considering doing one of my thesis on the buildup of the russian navy)

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why it's not on any of the US sites as well. Richard handles the communication with the publisher, he plans to ask them whether there are any plans to sell them in the US. I'll let you guys know.

Amazon, has it wrong. The book will be published on the 20th of January.
