Searching eBay and found one for $102 including s&h. Seller claims it to be very good condition so I took the chance and did Buy It Now. Auction had only been on for 3 hours. Hopefully it's in good shape.

Alan, you got a real bargain - congratulations , Hunnicutt's Sherman is going for silly prices at the moment - $300+ is the going rate so that is brilliant....

I missed a Hunnicutt by 2 days, here in Spain - asking price was less than $70 - from a bookstore. When I phoned them it had just been sold... ....Still. Well done! ...Jim

Alan,
You got a great deal there. Outstanding!
I got mine on ebay a while back for $195 including shipping and was overjoyed. You did even better.
I just checked Bookfind.com and they have Sherman listings from $350 to $600. Congratulations.

Okay, let me make everybody cry. I got mine for only $45. Yep, $45. Now that was 15 years ago when it was still available from the publisher, but still... I've used it on countless shermans and M10 kits. It is THE book for all you shermaholics. If you ever get the chance, GRAB IT!!! :-) :-)

Yeah the last couple times I bid for one on eBay it went for over $300. That is why I am a little suspicious but for $102 though I'd take the chance

Well I got it today. It's in good shape. There is no dust cover but I'll take a $200 discount for a missing dust cover!!

I didn't realize it included the M3 Lee, M7 Priest and M10 as well as Rams.

Looks like I got a lot of reading to do when I'm sitting in my "office" with the porcelain chair!!
