Default The U-Boat: The Evolution and Technical History of German Submarines

The U-Boat: The Evolution and Technical History of German Submarines, Anyone got this book? It sells for $120.00.

I don't mind shelling out that much cabbage if it is a good book?

Anyone got it that can tell me about it?

The Military book club had this book about 5 years ago in their rotation. I bought it brand new for .50 cents. Yes, I am a smart bastard. I remember getting this book from the library on special order, so when I saw it for sale, I pounced on the opportunity.

Well I am happy for you, but you did not answer my question.

what did you think about this book and do you think it is worth 125.00?
