EXCELLENT KUNO!

I have placed my order and paid through http://www.jebelsherif.org/

I note that the postage is cheapest from NZ. Is the book printed there and not in Europe?

Thanks for that, Tony. For readers on NZ and AUS we have arranged that a part delivery is directly going to Auckland and will be distributed from there then. The postage from Europe to NZ would be a high additional cost!

Message from NZ:

Quote:
Our book was first seen in NZ at a display day for the NZ Military Historical Society on Sunday. See attached my photos of the display.

Much interest in the work and many people expressed their thoughts about the exceptional quality of the book. I haven’t had a chance to promote the book properly yet, but I will be doing that over the next couple of weeks.

Cheers

Brendan

Hi Dinty; no, I was not with this group. My first visit to Jebel Sherif was in 2006, then the idea for the book came up. I was there again in 2008 to verify some of our 'szenarios' and at that time an NZ TV Crew was with me as well. Their documentary was broadcasted then in 2009 at ANZAC day - "Lost in Libya" was the name of it.
