Sniping in France and other Classic Books

[buffdog]

This post is a result of a PM to Badger, who suggested I post the information so all of us can enjoy some of the old classic books. When he reviewed "Sniping in France 1914-1918" by Major H. Hesketh-Pritchard, Badger was correct in stating that it was out of print.

However, lucky for us, there ARE REPRINTS AVAILABLE AT A MODEST PRICE.

The following books are reprinted, and available right now:

Sniping in France 1914-1918 Maj. H. Hesketh-Pritchard $42.50
A Rifleman Went to War H.W. McBride $29.95
The Emma Gees H.W. McBride $19.95
Sniper on the Eastern Front Sepp Allerberger $34.95
With British Snipers to the Reich Capt. C. Shore $29.95
Ordinance Went Up Front Roy F. Dunlap $34.95

All prices in U.S. Dollars. These books and a lot more too numerous to
list here are available from: Lancer Militaria
P.O. Box 1188
Mt. Ida
A.R. 71957-1188
U.S.A.

Lancer Militaria has a website, and their entire line of books can be seen there, and you can even download their catalog.

I just picked up a copy of "Sniping in France" by Hesketh-Pritchard, on E-Bay. It is one of the reprints, and I bought it for a friend.

The cost was $10.06 plus shipping.

If you have a book you are looking for, it is worth trying E-Bay about once a week. Usually the sellers put their items on for seven days, so a once a week check can find your item.

You made my day!:)

You made my day with that feedback .... :thup:

Sometimes I wonder whether we're adding any value to the collector community with all of this time consuming work building the library. ;)

Great find on the electronic version of "The Emma Gees" ... :super:

It's a really good read and I always enjoyed my hard copy, which I had trouble finding and it was expensive. Now we can share it electronically with a very wide collector audience for free.

Thanks again ... :)
