Gordon Williamson Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 Roger has been trying out some alternative cover designs. This is the final version. Bit more dramatic than the first version.

Oh, I like this one much better! What a great design. Although I don't collect KM badges I would surely add this one to my library soley for the pics and award documents.

Although I don't collect KM badges I would surely add this one to my library soley for the pics and award documents. Me too....great design as a front cover. Is there a release date yet Gordon. Looking forward to getting my hands on this and Sascha's books
Gordon Williamson Posted October 29, 2010 Author Posted October 29, 2010 Me too....great design as a front cover. Is there a release date yet Gordon. Looking forward to getting my hands on this and Sascha's books Roger is hoping they will be in from the printers late November. Printers are snowed under and of course every customer wants their order done before Xmas !
FrontlineAntiques Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Gordon - It looks fantastic and is just the sort of text book I am looking for. Hmmm, i think this is definately going onto my Christmas list for Santa! :whistle:
John R Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 By the way, I talked to Roger yesterday. He is out of Torpedo Los. These reference books become very good investments in the long run. Now try to find a copy of Torpedo Los. The point is that when these books are gone, they are gone so you should buy them when you can. John
ErichB Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 RJB brochure came in by post today, note Gordon's book will available hopefully on 20 December, as I said hopefully with a nice pre-pub offer on this special titles and 3 others going on right now. Congrats Gordon ! E ~
Gordon Williamson Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks Erich. Given the extra couple of week or so for books to cross the Atlantic, plus the fact that the heavy snow and ice have meant that the UK has virtually closed down (well over a week since I last saw a postman)readers in the States will see the book well before I get my hands on a copy ! I'm confident that Roger will have done his usual great job on design and layout though and can't wait to see the final product.
nesredep Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Hi! My copy arrived to day 7/1-2011.( My copy number 11).:jumping: All the best:beer: Morten.
S.Weber Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Hello Gordon, congratulations to your new Book! I get it today. But one question, why do you not show variants of the U-Boatbadges and U-Boat Frontclasps? The title of the book after I heard that expected. Why do you say LM is definitely Lind & Meyrer? What evidence do you have for that? Thanks for your Answer Sascha Edited January 12, 2011 by S.Weber
Gordon Williamson Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 The book is intended as a companion for Torpedo Los (effectively Volume 2) which already covers the U-Boat badges and Clasps. This is also made clear in Bender's advertising flier. Covering material already covered would have made the book much larger and more expensive. You have evidence that LM is a different manufacturer and not Lind & Meyrer ?
Jan Arne S Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I recieved my spec. copy of the Book today . You have done a GREAT Job , Gordon ! Have only taken a first look in about 1 hour , but the Book gives a very good impression . Jan Arne
nesredep Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Hi! My copy arrived to day 7/1-2011.( My copy number 11).:jumping: I have read about 10 hours and this is a VERY GOOD BOOK Gordon. All the best:beer: Morten.
aff96 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Received my copy last week & it's fantastic! Great work! Congratulations Gordon! Great addition and a perfect partner to the outstanding U-Boot book! Greg
S.Weber Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 @Gordon I think it's a pity that the U-Boatbadges- and Clasps were not presented in detail. That would have done the book really well, because the "Torpedo Los!" was purchased mainly by Uniform-Collectors, and its was sold out by Roger. This is disapointing for many badge collectors What would have talked about it? About "LM", we have no definitive evidence for this producer, therefore we can only guess about it. So I thought because you say definitely LM you have the sound proof. If so, why did not it printed in the book? Otherwise, a good work!
Erik Krogh Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Gordon, Finally had time to give your new book a reading. Outstanding! Thanks again for all that you've done for the collector community. I'll look forward to your next KM work. All The Best, Erik
