It is the WW1 books that are hard to find. The RAAF being the hardest of the WW2 books, probably because they had the smallest numbers of personnel I suppose. My collection has steadily improved over the years as I buy and sell better books, original copies, but more importantly, those with original dust covers.

Seem to know who started you off with those Robert. Glad to see that they have been put to good use.
Here are some of mine I have 21 different books in that set and quite a few double and triple ups. yep 183.jpg Here are some shots of part of my library. All of this wall are military related. yep 184.jpg And about 1/2 of this one. The other 2 walls I didn't photo, or the boxes under the table. yep 185.JPG Regards Rick.

Yes Rick the visit to your library was an eye opener for me and I have followed your example and handed on the doubles I got while collecting to the next generation. My collection is of 24 books will have to write the titles down and compare notes with you in Corowa.

I finally sorted the books, I have 24 titles.
The two books in the first picture were the hardest to find. I bought the book in the second picture thinking it was different, turned out to be the same as book two. Pictures three and fore show the best copies of the rest of my collection. Picture five shows the double ups and one in original packing. Some books I bought thinking they were different only to discover the cover colour was the only difference.
