Posted On Dec 04, 2022 | Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to our 20% off Christmas list (#259). This catalogue is again limited to four categories—Special Forces, Vietnam, World War 1 and World War 2. We recently purchased a collection of WW2 titles, some of which appear herein, many for the first time. They are quality and very scarce books in the main, and certainly one-offs. I expect there w...

November Catalogue #258

Posted On Nov 05, 2022 | Napoleonic,SIMMO,Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to Catalogue #258, November 2022. We’ve had a dream run here in sunny WA compared to the flood devastations witnessed on the East Coast. So much for the numpty who predicted the dams would never fill up again. Maybe he should get a job with the Bureau of Met so he can get an inside view before mouthing off. This list is limited to five c...

A late start this month—apologies. You will find Catalogue #256 here. A lot going on here in the beautiful west from much needed rain to a delightful 3 week visit from our son Toby and his lovely family from Canada. The two kids Cormac and Brigid are a pure delight. Our house certainly wasn’t built to house 6 adults, but we managed. Today we l...

Welcome to Catalogue 255, August 2022 in the depths of winter here in WA. So much for being dry as a chip over here and hot. It’s rained continuously for the best part of 10 days and cold. As I sit here in the late night silence writing, my heart bleeds for those poor souls sleeping rough around the city. The agencies such as the Sally’s and V...

Military Books Catalogue #254

Posted On Jul 07, 2022 | Aviation,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to Catalogue 254, July 2022. We are still in the Noongar season ‘Makuru’, which is the coldest and wettest season in the south west of WA. We had a nice drenching here a day or two back but nothing to compare with the deluge assailing the East Coast. We’ve been bleating about drought in this country since settlement but have done lit...

Welcome to Catalogue 253, June 2022. We are now in the Noongar season ‘Makuru’, which is the coldest and wettest season in the south west of WA. Good sleeping weather, not much good for walking. Doesn’t worry me too much as I prefer to hunker down at this time of year. The COVID situation prevails and I’m too old to be putting myself in ha...

Catalogue #252

Posted On May 03, 2022 | Aviation,Military General,SIMMO,Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to Catalogue #252 May 2022. Since my last list we’ve had some very welcome rain here in the West with the season ‘Djeran’ settled in. Pleasant clear days and cool nights. This a shortened version of my usual offering and I’ve rested Military Biography, Military General, Espionage, Human Endeavour, Naval and Napoleonic. I thought I�...

Anzac Day Catalogue #251

Welcome to Catalogue #251, April 2022. The Noongar season of Bunuru (hot summer) continues here in Perth although there are signs of respite (Djeran). Rain is a long forgotten memory here and when ‘the weather breaks’, I hope we don’t cop it like the east coast in recent times. The news is still filled with ‘Putin atrocities’ in Ukraine....

March Catalogue #250

Posted On Feb 28, 2022 | Aviation,Military Biography,Military General,Napoleonic,Naval,SIMMO,Special Forces and Airborne,The Boer Wars 1880-1902,The Great War 1914-1918 | No Comments

Welcome to Catalogue 250 – March 2022. It’s still blisteringly hot here in lovely Perth with very little respite in sight. It’s the Noongar Aboriginal ‘hot’ summer (Bunuru) which will last through much of March. We can then look forward to cooler weather (Djeran). The news is chock-a-block with Vladimir Putin and his intemperate and stu...

February Catalogue #249

Posted On Feb 03, 2022 | Military Biography,Military General,SIMMO,Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to list #249, the first of 2022. Bit hard to get one out after the ‘festivities’ of Christmas and the new year. I’ve always held off with a January list because ‘most’ people have run out of sheckles after the over-indulgences of the festive season. It also gives us a chance and kick back and watch the cricket (4 nil by the...
