Short of posting photos and quoting from the book:
It is a coffee-table-sized book (9 1/4 x 12 1/2 inches) of 198 pages divided into 11 chapters such as "Commercial, or Non-Combat Shell Transitionals"; "The SS-RZM Helmet"; chapters on the M35, M40 and M42; "A Study of Camouflage Paint Finishes", "Sicherheitsdienst (SD)", "Variant and Non-Mainstream Helmets and Decorations" and "The SS-'Deutschland' Portfolio".
This is, overwhelmingly, a pictorial study of SS helmets and decals with EVERY modern photo in color. It is sprinkled throughout with contemporary black-and-white photos of SS helmets in wear.
The verbiage at the beginning of each chapter is kept to a minimum with detailed descriptions of each photo.
The acknowledgements section includes Al Barrows, Bill Shea, Bob Iqbal, Chris Jones, Darryl P., John Suprin, Ken N., Larry Foley, Larry Marcella, Ludwig Baer, Matt Miller, Mike Gaspar, Perry Floyd, Peter Whamond, Robert Kondor, Shu Kamisada, Tom Kibler, Ty Smith, Willi Zahn and William Matchett among many others.
If you liked "SS-Steel" then you'll love this book!
Cheers,
Erich

Schiffer reports the left coast will receive copies on the 16th. You East Coast guys are lucky to be graced with the geographic serendipity of living relatively near the publisher. Schiffer is also at fault for omitting contributors, of which, at least one shall go nameless.  Cody

I received mine yesterday. Very impressive and professionally done. Also some beautiful period photos. A nice cross section of some very advanced collections.
What a small world it is in many ways, I know most of the contributers.
