Hi guys,

Many of you guys may know that I have written a book on the Close Combat Clasp (Nahkampfspange). It is currently at the printers and is set to release to the public on November 15th, 2007. Please check out the following website link for information about the book. If interested, please email me at [email protected] to be added to the pre-order list and to be notified when updates are available.

Make sure you click at the bottom of the page, and you will be able to view some screen shots from the book. Pascal is a true master at setting these things up, the method for viewing the screenshots is just unbeatable!

Only 28 days to go to release!

Interesting..i look forward to it!

Thanks for the link Tom, and for all of the advice on CCC's that you've given me over the last few years. You are the CCC man in my book.

thanks nuch

Looks to be a well thought out, well designed reference.
Wonder if some could be sold through this site?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies, I know that anyone even remotely interested in this award will really enjoy the book.

I think someone had a problem opening the screenshots file directly from the website, so here is the direct link:

Joe, please send me an email at [email protected] and I will forward it to the publisher. I am sure we can work something out to sell the book on the forum in some way.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Tom, we'll have to go through Vern and or Dave about forum sales of the book.
I will direct their attention to this thread.

Hi guys,

I have gotten many emails for an update, so I figured I would post here for all to see. All the books are printed and it is my understanding that they are getting their bindings put on and covers added. They still need to be individually wrapped in plastic and their cardboard cartons after this, but we have been told that Nov. 15th is still the date

No pre-orders yet. We decided not to take any pre-order money to aleviate any problems with buyers if the books happened to be delayed for any reason. Nov. 15th is still the target date and our printers have told us that it is tight, but that is what they are shooting for. I know we American's are antsy to get our orders in due to the Euro conversion, but it is only 12 days away

In the next week or so, we wil update the website (www.papjay.com) with the actual ordering-page, where you can place your order, number of copies, payment options, shipping instructions, etc. Once we have the books in our hands, the website will be updated. Keep your eye on the website or this thread for the update that this has occurred.

Anyone can still ofcourse email me at [email protected] to be put on the notification list and when we update the website, you will get an individual email notice.

Thanks guys.

Tom

Hi guys,

I am very happy and proud to announce that the Close Combat Clasp books are now on sale!!! Please go to the order page of:

http://www.papjay.com/order.html

and place your order. Remember if you are a paying member to the GCA forum, you will receive a 15% discount.

The books were printed in Belgium and will be shipped from Belgium. I have gotten many requests for signed copies of the book, but this is not really feasible since I am in the US and I assumed that many of you guys would rather have the books in hand earlier and quicker and not wait to have my signature on it. Due to the continued requests, I have decided that I will have a limited number of books (30) sent to me from Belgium to the US. I will sign and number these books (1-30) and will be happy to do it if people want to wait the extra time, I would estimate that it would take an extra week or so to get to you. These will be available for an additional $10 above the actual price of the book and will be an additional shipping charge since we have to package and ship them 2 times. If you want one of these Limited Copies, please just email me the request instead of ordering straight from the website at [email protected]

Thanks guys, hope you enjoy the book!

Tom
