Good Reads & Useful Information

Most of the books and other media that are featured here are available through our partnership with Amazon.com. The revenue generated from these sales go back into the association - so please think of us when you need a gift for that special WWII buff. Also, when you order - would you drop me a line to let me know how the process went? Since I set the site up, I am discouraged from ordering through my own links. Also - if you find a book that you would like to order but it isn't on the list, please let me know so we can add it. That way, you get your book and we can still get the credit for it. Remember - the proceeds go to the assication!

I am always on the lookout for good books. If you know of one that mentions the Drexler, let me know. I am also looking for a good book on Tori Shima but am running into very few good leads as far as mentions of the Drexler go. Again, if you know of one with this info, let me know.
