Default Rare book for giveaway

So i got this great book that seems to be pretty rare. I thought to myself why not share it with the Sh3 community. Its called "Night of the Uboats" and its about the first great wolfpack attack on convoys. It focuses on convoy SC7. I believe the authors are Lundlam and ...forgot. But they also wrote "PQ17 Convoy to Hell" and "Trawlers go to War". One of the authors was on the trawler when SC7 was attacked.

Its told from the merchantmens point of you, some pretty horrifying stuff! Anyway if anybody wants it ill ship it to you.

I bought it online some years ago, it was from a rare book collector. I havent checked if its on amazon or barnes and noble or anything so im hope im not making a fool of myself calling it "rare" haha.


so just looked on amazon and there is 17!!!! used copies! lol! Well i have mine in perfecto condition!

If this is the book by Paul Lund and Harry Ludlam, it's not that rare at all and pretty easy to find. Amazon.com is currently showing at least 17 copies starting at three dollars or so up to $106.27. Paid $8.00 CAD for my copy back in the mid-nineties but it is a first edition even if well worn.

Books can be frightingly expensive, I ended up paying over $600.00 CAD for the Arthur Marder five-volume series From Dreadnaught to Scapa Flow and that after shopping around for years.
