the German Wound Badge of World War II by Thomas M. Durante. 660 pages, shrinkwrapped

The book focuses on the so-called 2nd Pattern 1939 Wound Badge, specifically Solid-Back Silver and Gold grade examples. The original intention was to document all three grades in a single volume. However, the sheer number of makers and variants found within just the Silver and Gold grades quickly turned the project into something far more extensive. As a result, this work expanded into a massive 660-page volume, becoming the first book in a planned three-part series that will ultimately cover all grades, patterns, makers, and variants of German Wound Badges from World War II.

This book contains over 660 pages of detailed research, supported by high-quality, full-color images, presented in a large 8" × 10" format for optimal clarity and reference value.

The series of books Durante has produced uptill now show the best possible research about the decorations he strudied. This book is an absolute MUST HAVE to any serious collector of German badges!

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse!
