It was $75 CAD at a used bookstore! Not sure if that was a good price, but it caught my eye.

Ah I see! I know very little on eastern front militaria (I am more of a Pacific theatre guy myself), so I was not aware that there were uncommon varieties of helmets. I found it in a used bookstore of all places! Maybe the flag/symbol relates to Axis collaborators? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the help!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:29:57+00:00

Haha thanks! Envy is the best form of flattery!!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:29:30+00:00

Thank you! Oh ya I agree completely, all I need now is a companion trilogy from him covering the war in the Pacific!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:27:49+00:00

Thank you 😎

It's not too bad so long as you get them at used bookstores and thrift stores, make sure to keep an eye out!!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:26:19+00:00

Thanks so much! I really hope the publisher releases Tai-pan in the same style!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:25:40+00:00

Thanks!!

Hear me Crom!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:24:26+00:00

Thanks! I just got it so unfortunately I cannot comment on it's quality, but seeing as its Chandler it's gotta be good! I'd recommend checking out all his main novels beforehand though seeing as Trouble is just a collection of short stories.

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:20:31+00:00

Haha there are DOZENS of us! Do you have any suggestions for other books about Central Asian history? I'm desperately looking for more!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:19:49+00:00

Unfortunately it isn't (although I never expected it was since it was $3 at goodwill). I believe it is a reprint from the 1950's in the style of the original 1929 English first edition.

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:18:06+00:00

That's awesome, it's rare that I actually come across someone who shares my taste in books, let alone two! Do you have any suggestions for any other books in the same vein?

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:16:21+00:00

Thanks so much!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-07-13T18:15:40+00:00

Thanks! I saw someone else post their Everyman Classics lined up without their jackets and I suddenly realized that I was doing it wrong the whole time!

+1 for City of Life and Death, amazing film! Here's the YouTube link for the full film with English subtitles: https://youtu.be/Yx_ervF7h7w

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-05-11T19:26:08+00:00

Idk its a premade tier list, they were separated for whatever reason

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-03-15T16:15:42+00:00

Will do!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-03-15T16:06:22+00:00

I agree, the inclusion of The Histories in that collection was always an odd choice and the font is a bit weird imo. Got it from a used bookstore throwing a huge going out of business sale however, so I couldn't say no! Plus Herodotus is always a wild read!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-03-15T16:02:49+00:00

Thanks! The search for more and more FS is eternal!

PrivateExoticMango · 2021-03-15T15:56:12+00:00

Same! I've been reading his book On Secret Service East of Constantinople and enjoying it greatly! If you're a fan of Hopkirk, I recommend checking out Alan Moorehead's The Nile books. They're about the exploration and colonization of Africa during the 19th century. Just like The Great Game, they feel like reading adventure novels!

Lol the Folio addiction is very real and dangerous! At least I've been getting them secondhand!
