My books

[simonh]

I've finally got around to getting my books into shelving units rather than book cases. I've filled two nearly half filled a third and....have a fourth unit waiting
That's the problem when you've got a few books on aircraft and aviation....before anyone asks, I'm not sure, it maybe 200-300 books.
I think I've taken care of any retirement issues

"200-300 books." And then some mate .... you can never have enough books, I love them as well. It maybe age, but for me, there's nothing like holding in your hand, a well-researched, quality publication.
As far as I've seen you don't mess around on the quality side. Pen and sword, Schiffer, Osprey, Air Britain...to name a few....keep it up.
You may however, need some structural bracing installed under your 1st floor archive...more than happy to give you a quote.

I also have two more Legends Of Air Warfare on order..The Boeing P-8A Poseidon and the AV-8A/B Harrier II.
Then there's the 7 or 8 more Osprey books and couple more......I think

Nice Simon !!! that would be impressive to see .. I remember 'Wing Commander' Ian Warren had a fair old collection, as do many of yaz Im sure, Doug too right?

My addiction is "Airliner World" magazines, I have complete years going back almost to the start, defo testing the wifes patience re storage space for things she CLAIMS I will never read again ... I tell her they are for "research purposes"

[simonh]

Deeknow, I used to get that, now my excuse/reason is whatever book I get isn't available in New Zealand
If I see a book on a type that I like and don't have it, there's my reason for buying it... my story and I'm sticking to it

Deeknow, Airliner world is a good addiction. I remember discovering it years ago, and collecting them....great reading.
Sadley ex wife #2 thought they were good fire starters , and used as such before I could rescue them ....still winds be up 20 years on....

NOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!!!.....

My current wifey would do the same if she got a chance (and knew where I stashed them)

[simonh]

Deeknow, just beyween you and me, I've had six books arrive in the last two days.
Remember.. Mum's the word

[simonh]

I've been keeping the couriers busy this week....only a couple of books have arrived.
Well....actually it's...I can't get them here so....okay, okay ..eight have turned up

[deeknow]

do you order books from overseas? I used to use the NZ Post YouPost thing where you can batch up a bunch of items in a NZ Post warehouse in the UK and US and then post it to NZ when ready, the freight prices USED to be OK but they seem to have SKY-ROCKETED lately, no way I'll be sending anything at their current rates, no more airliner world back-issues for me

[simonh]

Deeknow, most come from Booktopia in Australia. If you spend $99, shipping is free...not saying that I spend that much...okay, sometimes I do
