No I aint soliciting for the club, I am a member and have been buying books through them for years. I aint saying they are cheap or even close to it. Military reference is a niche market, forget cheap right now. But they market books you wont be finding on any book shelves any time soon either.
Most of my gems in my library I found through them. Quality hardcovers that were worth the serious funds too. Trick is to use yer opening purchases to get the expensive titles. Then resubscribe and do it again after buying 4 cheap options (effectively makes price more palatable).
I have several examples of German unit actions that I have bought this way.
Les, you sneaky old devil! I used to do this with the Science-Fiction Book Club, and never thought to get into the Military Book Club. Thanks for the reminder! Also, thanks to everybody for the great sources on the net. I've been pretty busy for the past month and 1/2 and am just now getting back to the Forum on a regular basis. The is fantastic stuff!! Kudos to all who have contributed so far (even the "bumps!" )
