[Jukka Juutinen]

Neil, I wonder where does the "3000 Luftwaffe book buying enthusiasts" estimate come from as I have been told by reasonably reliable sources that in Finland (population 5.2 million) there are about 800 hardcore buyers that buy nearly every book dealing with Finnish air war in Finnish language. Now just multiply that figure to represent more populated countries. Or are we Finns just that much more interested in military history? Could be as the Finnish edition of the transcript of the Kreml sessions in April 1940 on the Winter War has sold more copies than the Russian edition...

These print on demand solutions are unacceptable as the quality is very poor, despite Franek´s claims. The same applies for any electronic format for which I´d pay nothing.

Jim P., you may have been happy with Valtonen´s books and his loss figures, but does it occur to you that some people might actually want to READ the book in entirety, not just pick up a figure here and there?


I am definitely for English editions of Erik´s books!
