I've been waiting for my copy to arrive for the last 3 weeks and today was the big day. 584 pages of information, hundreds of large colour photographs and line drawings plus a CD with another 286 scale drawings in colour of cartridge cases, projectiles and components both whole and cutaway views. All of soviet cannon rounds in the calibre 12.7mm to 57mm.
THIS BOOK IS JUST AWESOME!!
If anyone is vaguely interested in cannon rounds then you really must buy it.
I have personally not really collected Soviet rounds, but am about to change my mind.
The cost is 125 for the book. That is REALLY CHEAP. It has to be worth what the Janes books cost and they're well over double the cost of this one. For the cost of a reasonable shell you end up with a superb reference study. Make sure you buy it.
The link to the web site is given below.
The ISBN number is 978-3-200-01445-9

I think I've gone on about it for long enough now, I'm off to read it for the next month so see you in a few weeks!!
