I'm reading the Bible--and it's awesome

Clay Blair. Hitler's U-Boat War

Freaking Volume I can support my bed off the floor. Well, that, and Blair's Silent Victory.

Deeply recommended reading for all U-Boat drivers, past and present!

Thanks,

Now i have to read that bible too.

Blair is great. Try "Wolfpacks at War" by Showell and "Steel Boats, Iron Hearts" by Goebbler for a more humanized account of the war.

Thanks for that, Some more books to look for and add to an already creaking book shelf

Too expensive. Look around on Amazon or e-bay.
I buy 99% of my books from one of those sites. New ones are even cheaper than B&N.

Don't be afraid to try used books. A lot of the books are listed as Used-Very Good Condition. When I've received them, they look as good as new.

Absolutely. I've yet to get a bad book doing it this way. Saves a ton of money too.

Heheh I got a used version of this for Xmas, reading it now.

O'L Doughnuts had his work cut out for him fighting the beaurocracy. I was also surprised at the Number of and versions of Type 2 Ducks there were.

mmmmmmm Barnes and Noble, I popped into the Baltimore one when I was over in states for Hols, Damn it was expensive.

NOT the prices you understand, But the amount I spent and the Excess baggage fare to bring them all back home

God I love this Shop, I just wish they had them over here in UK, the only thing that came close was Borders, and sadly that closed down just after xmas.

Our local Borders also shut down last year. I wonder, did the whole chain go out of business?

We had a Barnes & Noble not far from where I work, but they shut down when a new one opened a couple exits up the highway in a newer and shinier shopping complex. I don't get over in that area much so I hardly ever see the inside of a bookstore any more (other than Half Price Books, which is still close by).

Of course it's saved me a ton of money since I'm not walking in there and buying things on impulse every month or so. And since I usually made a stop at the Best Buy they were next door to, the savings are even better.

Now I just buy things on impulse from Amazon, which is at least a little cheaper.

I frequent my local bookstores, but mostly I buy from Abe http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Sear...+war&x=84&y=15

I see from the first link that Amazon has some good prices used.
