Excellent!
Do we have more stats about the book? Is this a hardcover? How many pages? What are the chapters? William |

I had the fortunate opportunity to review some of the proof pages a couple of months ago. Needless to say, it is as good as you would expect from the guys who put out the big red book. Not only is there a large array of citations, maps, and photos, there are also lists of serial numbers of the various numbered orders and medals giving the award dates and other salient information. Having this data will be a lot of help in deciding which of those Red Stars you have been holding on to might have the best chance of coming back with an interesting citation. If this edition demonstrates that there is widespread interest in the topic, they are planning to come out with future editions. Needless to say, I hope this first edition sells well so that there will be others in the future. An excellent companion to The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Orders and Medals. Congratulations to Paul Schmitt for an excellent effort that will go a long way toward advancing the hobby and furthering the knowledge of this period in history.
All the best, Doug |

Given this, I'm certain it's worth every penny of its $75.00 cover price. Regards, slava1stclass |
