IN case u didnt noticed,
this book is from Osprey ..



click here for review

click here for discuss thread

Ok, after reading the thread sometime ago, i contacted several local book store (ie MPH, Kinokuniya, Borders) and ask them about the book. Only Kinokuniya answered will help me about the book. So as in the reply email, the customer service staff said the book will be pre-order as per my request.
I have ask her to bring the book extra so that many of us can have it as well, But she said the book is marked as special order and they will bring only 1 copy for me. I did suggest them to bring xtra but they wont!!
so if you want the book, simply email Miss Cheng at [email protected]
she will happily help us. Just tell the books title and the ISBN number...


btw, the book price would be around RM 72

the books will be available in Kinokuniya KLCC 2-3 weeks after the realesed date which is 11 Oct 05. That's b4 hari raya.......

i think this book is good for ww2 german figure nuts like me

Boss, if you're considering ordering it you may want to check out prices plus postage at Amazon.com and their local counterpart at Singapore www.acmabooks.com

The last one was given to me by Floogen. I've ordered Osprey books from them twice and they're generally cheaper. I don't know if they have the Waffen SS one though.

So far almost all my Ospreys have been from mail orders as the used ones or even the new ones on Amazon tend to be cheaper than over here at least the ones I've bought.

How cheap is your price there??
Once i order from Pekan Buku Universiti Malaya since a friend of mine was a librarian there...the cost is a bit cheaper from kinokuniya but it took 2 months

amazon price is good but the shipping cost is killing me...i order a few times with them in the last 3 years...
so how about eh singapore countepart??
i think i will browse the site now......

Mojimbo,

i dont know la if they will add extra charges....but with regards to Osprey, i dont think they put extra charge coz the price is almost the same with others osprey book in their store...
