Hi all,
The first reference book on British grenades I bought was Ian Skennerton's Introduction to British Grenades, published 1988. It helped me a lot; I was able to identify a Mills gren I'd bought earlier for next to nothing as a super-rare No 23 Mk 111 (sadly sold on 8 years ago).
My next lot of Mills gren education was delivered to me, about 4 years ago, in spades via Dave Samson's website.
Last summer, I purchased "Grenade" by Landers, Bonney and Oakley. Superb book! To date, it has helped me make at least one highly informed, expensive and important addition to my collection and avoid a couple of potential disasterous, rip-offs! I would welcome a follow-on, covering the L series etc. up to the present.
In the past year, I have learned much and used a huge amount of info from you on this forum. I thank you all...
Now then, I am contemplating buying The Grenade Recognition Manual Vol 2 (British & Commonwealth Grenades & Accessories). The deal amounts to $70. Specialist books obviously cost, for very good reasons, however, this amount leads me to a bit of careful consideration, and I would appreciate your advice.
So.. Please, those of you out there who have bought this book and used the info in it, please would you let me know what you think about it; No literay reviews necessary: I don't care about who gets the girl in the end! Just whaddya think? Advise me, make me hurt my credit card, if you think it's the right thing to do! Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bruno
