My camerad Maxim Kolomiets from Moscow wrote new book "Russian armour in First World war" (in Russian). This is hes second book. Furst book (M. Kolomiets and M. Bariatinski) "Armoured cars of Russian army 1906-1917" was in 90. years. This is new edition, more information, more pictures - total 446 sites. In new book now to see armoured cars and armoured trains. The book comming soon, in july 2008 will in Russia on sale.
Just what I was waiting for! Do you know where it is possible to order the book? Regards Gilles(lostiznaos)
I don't know.. I think it wil in many russian internet-book-shop to sale. I shall receive my book from the author in a gift, because I helped it. As the book will be on sale, I shall ask the author how it can be ordered abroad, I think that the question to be solved.
"I ask to forgive for so long silence - completed and handed over in publishing house the book under the name " The Armour of Russian Army " (a cover I send, all the same it would be desirable to brag). It would not be desirable to repeat, therefore has copied it almost on 100 % (in comparison to " Armoured cars of Russian Army "), except for two - three chapters. Besides into it have entered the chapter on armored trains, and also on Lebedenko Fighting car and "Vezdekhod" tank of Porochovschikoff. However, despite of significant enough volume - 448 pages - All to push it was not possible. With your permission, used in this work some materials received from you, so on an output of the book (July of this year is planned) - from me a copy. By the way, on armored cars the volume of a text material has grown more than twice (in comparison with " Armored cars of Russian Army ").
I will learn from Kolomiets, how many there is a book and as it to buy. I think... It will be possible to organize the general order, I can ordered books in Moscow and pay their roubles (I have a cash department in Moscow), the author will send them to everyone who has ordered direct, and to pay it will be possible at me in Germany. So it will be convenient all. More shortly, I learn all, there will be news, I shall write.
