It would be at least an extra 27,000 words

Perhaps a Volume 2 then? I am sick and tired of looking at screens. Reading books should be a distinct, separate activity.

Chris,

Would it be possible to publish the loss list separately? I suggest a Luftwaffe im Focus type publication that would include additional photos that did not make it into the book.

that equates to an additional 54 pages per book, so imagine what that does to my bottom line... downloadable version is a possibility though, I'll have to think about it.

I'd rather buy a physical book. I am pausing downloading anything.

So would I, but for additional reference material (like a loss list) that I might want to refer to independently of reading the book, having something digital and searchable can be handy.

I concurr. I prefer to read novels on paper, but fact books I definitely prefer in digital format due to search function. Also, such books like AB serial books I would definitely prefer in form of databases, where I can quickly find desired information.

PS Nick, have you got my email?

Hello Ed,
Have you ever tried an e-reader? It feels like a different activity than reading off your phone of tablet. It's not that 'digital' feel.
Plus, one can upload PDFs on there.

Hello,


No, but I have worked in book publishing for a long time. Around the time the U.S. Postal Service made it impossible for foreign customers to buy books from us, so-called e-readers appeared everywhere. I recall reading that they were a popular gift in the UK, but sat unused in their boxes in most cases. I have no desire to own one.

I buy books from Germany and do not pay a lot of money to get them. I recall posts here from those in Europe that pointed out where to get the best price for postage depending on which country you lived in. So what has happened is a situation where people were forced out of the paper book market while immediately being offered an "alternative." They can keep it.


Best,
Ed
