Nick,

I see you don't understand me. OK, I would never say
something against well researched books. And you are right,
the texts are important or more important than the pics.
But who buys a well researched book without great photos?
Better, former unpublished photos! The first question is always:
"Are there any new photos of..." You can find masses of
examples at TOCH! And because lots of publishers try to make
a fast buck you have to choose carefully which new publication
you want to buy and which not. Enthusiasts with small pockets
can't spend so much for their hobby.
So you have to look for interesting contents - texts and photos.
Because lots of actual publications rehash well known
photos and facts again and again - often in real poor quality -
these books, series and magazines are absolutely worthless.
Who needs the 196th book about German fighters with
90% Bundesarchiv photos for example? You not and me
also not. That's it!

And John, yes I know, but you are not the one and only at this board...

Günter.
