Good evening Gentlemen,

Cheers,

Michael

Zászlós (Flight Officer) Dezső Szentgyörgyi had two shared 'kills'. Details in Magyar Warriors, vol. 2, published by Helion & Co., in 2017, pages 155-157.

Where were the hardback and the paperback printed in? Helion seems to use a Maltese printer for properly printed titles while UK-based ones for the cheaper (digitally-printed) ones.

Best to contact Helion for that kind of information, don’t you think?

No, it is not. Getting response from Helion is harder than pulling off an elephant's tooth. While anyone with the book can quickly check the pertinent info from the book.

Send someone the Ł40 to buy the book and I’m sure they’d be happy to tell you who printed it!

So you seriously believe that none of the readers of this thread have the book?

At least with the hard copy I can do that free of charge....

The typeset was done by Mach 3 Solutions Ltd, England
Actual printing was done in Malta by Gutenberg Press at Tarxien.

If you are after what kind of paper that was used or judging the quality of said paper, I am not qualified
to do so, except that it certainly is very good and fulfil at least my standards for an excellent
quality. Some photos are too small for my liking, but perhaps that is a minor point for you.
The binding is top quality as well.

With regard to the paperback, I will not buy it and thus cannot comment on it...

Cheers
Stig

Thanks Stig! That's exactly what I needed. It is perhaps pertinent to note that at least Lev Lopukhosvky's Vyazma Catastrophe exists in at least two hardback editions of which only is properly printed and bound in Malta while the other is a poor-quality digital print.
