Couple ref books I came across yesterday.

Check them out. You checkthemouter.

1st~ For the armor nuts and bolts guys. M113 Armored Personnel Carrier walk around by Squadron Signal. #5715. $18.95USD. I'm not a much of tracks vehicle fan. But when I saw this book, wow. I have to get. Inside full of color photos in & out, close up detail and camo markings. I got my copy at Burbank House of Hobbies.

2nd~ For Sci Fi fan. Biohazard 5, The Official Art Works. Capcom. Can't tell who is the publisher, sry. My copy is in Japanese, I don't read Japanese. Maybe they do have it in English. I got my at Kinokuniya Bookstore at Little Tokyo downtown LA. A little pricey $35.20USD(anything in Little Tokyo is pricey). Inside full of colors visual development of the characters & locations. This book will be great companion to HT Chris & Sheva. (A wise man once said: You no fan of anything, if you don't have art of anything)

3rd~ For Sci Fi fan again. Hyperweapon 2008, Only Madness Exists In The Present Landscape. Again in Japanese, Kinokunia Bookstore in LA. A very small size book with a full size book price tag $33.45USD. Inside- b/w, colors drawings and kits bashing of some sick, sick mecha, armor suit and vehicles.

(And couple books being around for some time, maybe 2~3 yrs or older. In case some of you don't know about them)

4th~ For modern figures. Battle Rattle, The Stuff A Soldier Carries by Hans Halberstadt. Zenith Press. $24.95USD. Like the earlier book on WW2 GI. it show what and how the modern guys carries things on them.

5th~ Special Forces, War On Terrorism In Afghanistan.

6th~ Special Forces, War Against Saddam Hussein. by Eric Micheletti. Histoire & Collections. Inside full of colors pic. Must have ref books for bashing your GI or PMC.

Re: Couple ref books I came across yesterday.

I have 4,5 and 6. The two Micheletti books are my favorites for pics, but badly translated and edited.

I picked up the 10th Mountain book from Zenith Press this weekend. Lot of good pics in there of ops in Afghanistan.
