Charles S Grant books

Post by ochoin »

I have a few of the Wargames in History & would like to get others + the Refighting History books but the price new is a bit prohibitive.

Anyone wants to clear out a book shelf?

Yep. Some titles......and all of $2 cheaper than brand new.

Yeah, their algorithms are weird. They wanted $250 for some ships books and yet I got others for a few bucks. Good luck, they are so good that I can't imagine anyone parting with them.

True. Thought it worth an enquiry, though.

My goodness, I just went and looked, and those prices are eye-watering. Wonder if Charles has any unsold stock? :)
Wargames dreams never die, they just get left in a box.

They are very good, beautifully printed & with a niche market. I certainly understand the prices being charged & will probably soon spend about $180 to buy two books + delivery....if I can't find a second hand deal.

The one to be careful of is Volume 9 of Wargaming in History as the binding is a bit naff and the pages fall out rather easily. On the bonus though Charles used some of my photos of Lobositz and Kolin.

What! The figures weren't his????

I want A REFUND FROM THE FRAUD!!!

Seriously, the photos in the books are very nice & if some of the figures are yours, I am frankly full of congratulations.

To clarify - He used some of my photos of the battlefields.

The figures are his.
