[Gordon Williamson]

Thanks Marc,

Glad you like it.

I couldn't even check re. your query as I don't have a copy myself yet, mine are still en route (one of the disadvantages of publisher and author being at opposite ends of the world).

No firm release date yet. Roger Bender is chasing up a couple of rare pieces in the USA ( including an original ships bell from a U-Boat) for inclusion. Once these are in and the final adjustments to layouts are done, the cover illustration is chosen and a final descion made on the title and we are ready to go.

Hello !

For the Italian members . You can buy the book c/o www.tuttostoria.it

Arthur Thornton of "World of Warfare" Books had some in stock but I don't know of he has any left. He has more on the way though.He had his shipped over by airmail.

If you want a copy with a personal dedication, I will have a (very) small supply of my own arriving shortly.

Hi Gordon

I just received my copy this week. I haven't fully read it, but from a quick overview I see you've included nearly everything imaginable in this field of collecting. I was also happy to see an Imperial section! Outstanding!

Cheers,

Steve

Gordon,

I received my copy (#5) of Torpedo Los a couple of weeks ago and have had difficulty putting it down. What a fabulous book you have written! You really have covered this area of collecting comprehensively. Great seeing detailed pictures of Michel's fabulous U-Boat collection as well as Thomas Huss' items and all of the other contributions. I was surprised and extremely pleased to see my own W?chtler & Lange badge on page 187, and appreciate the credit.

Thanks for all of your efforts which have benefited the hobby tremendously.

Best Regards,

Erik Krogh

Hi Gordon

Took delivery of my 'Torpedo Los' this morning from here in the UK.. Fantastic!

For those of you thinking whether you should take the plunge, don't hesitate.. This may be fifty quid, but the weight and quality of the book plus the fact that it's packed full of info, makes it worth every penny. In fact, are you making a 'Los' Gordon?

I purchased mine from http://www.militaryhistorybooks.com/ (in the UK). It was the place with the best price, cheapest and fasted shipping..

Cheers!

Gordon, I have just return from the SOS with my copy, fantantic. Thanks for this great work.

[John Burchell]

I received mine, #240, last week. It took a while to make it's way through Canadian Customs, but was well worth the wait! This is a tremendously informative and extremely-well illustrated book and a fine addition to any KM/U-Boot reference library. My congratulations to the author and best regards,

John Burchell.

Hi Guys !

Today I received My and my KM Collector friend copies of Torpedo Los .

At Work at the moment , only take a short look at it, but this evening I will sit down and start the study of the book .

GREAT Photos and info .

You have done a GREAT job Gordon !!

[Simon Orchard]

Well mine never turned up. Ordered it in January, was confirmed sent but it never showed. Tried e-mailing bender but the e-mail got it returned.

Hi Simon !

I think You just have to wait .

If it has been sent with Shipping it takes time .

Mine was sent 27.des. 2006 and arrived at work on friday .

Unfortunately the weight of the book (around 2kilos) makes Airmail postage hugely expensive. When Roger sent me my own copy, it was sent Airmail, and the postage charged was $35 !!

Normally I guess they'd be sent surface mail, which usually takes 6-8 weeks to the UK. but can be longer as Jan Arne has experienced.

[Simon Orchard]

The postal gods heard my cry of anguish. It was waiting for me when i got home, posted on 22 January....maybe it was sent by U-boat!

A veritable feast of paperwork goodness for me to feast my mincepies on

No mention of the Lapplandschild being awarded to U-boat crews Gordon ?

[RichardT]

Don't feel too bad Simon. My book took three month to make its way up the west coast of the US to Canada. The first attempt, Roger Bender received back after about 5-6 weeks. He then mailed a second copy, in its own mail bag, and it arrived 6 weeks later.

Poor postal service to say the least but the book was well worth it.

Hi Simon !

I got i email from Roger Yesterday , he had talked to his Postoffice .

And they said thay the often had to wait for ship to send the Post with .

And one of the notes on the Postsack my Parcel arrived in is marked , Oslo Letter Center Norway , 25 jan, 2007 .

So it sems that Parcel first left USA on the 25. January .

And I also think that Postage for Norway is going true Rotterdam , Nederland . Think i is so if I remember correct from so tracking I did about

Shipping Post in the old days .

And it sems like Your and mine Parcel was sent with the same Ship .

Must be a case of, wait until they have a full load before sending.

Well, it was worth the wait anyway. It's not just for those into the U-bootwaffe but will be of interest to anyone into the KM generally and document collectors.
