[QUOTE="lettow, post: 691476, member: 6986"]WWII Remembered is the seminal work on WWII numismatics. As WED stated, it does have some drawbacks including organization but use the index and you should be fine. A second edition has been anticipated for a few years. In fact, a draft was disseminated at the MPCFest in 2006 but no publication date has been set. I know both of the authors and they have good intentions but are also overwhelmed with other projects. The pricing is off in many ways. Some items have gone up. Some have gone down. If you talk to the authors long enough they will admit that they had to stab i the dark on prices for many of the more esoteric items. While many are scarce, there may be no serious demand. Remember, though, this book is still a general survey, even if it is a specialized topic. There are more specialized catalogs such as the MPC catalog, Theo Van Elmpt's book on British Military Authority notes, there is also a catalogue of Japanese issues from WWII in both English and Japanese that is exhaustive on that topic.[/QUOTE]
