Articles of War Today Bob Ruman of the Articles of War bookshop in Skokie, Illinois unveiled his new website. Bob has for several years displayed a fraction of his inventory, mostly new books, on the Web. His new and expanded site vastly increases the number of new and secondhand military books listed on his pages. These include all eras from Ancients through Napoleonics, World War II, and right up to contemporary conflicts. The new site also features improved ordering facilities, browsing by dozens of specialized topics and sub-topics, and searching for books by author, title, and key words in the description. Bob tells us that due to space limitations in his shop in Skokie he has for years kept a huge number of secondhand titles in inaccessible storage. He's now in the process of unearthing all those used books and offering them to customers via the new Web, so this is definitely worth checking out.
Military History Bookshop From London arrives the "1 March 1999" (hmmm -- must have come by surface post) catalog from The Military History Bookshop with forty-eight pages of new and used military titles.
Web updates The new month brings updated inventory pages at these important military book websites:
The Military Collector All three offer browsing by topics as well as searching for books by key words.
