Hello, I wanted to point out to those interested that (after a long gestation) I managed to complete my book on the Confederate Navy.
I edited it through Amazon.com and it will be available in a few days, the book has 205 pages and is in Italian, but contains over thirty uniforms' tables, with the double language Italian/English for the caption and description.

I saw the book is now on Amazon. I am counting my pennies and plan on ordering it tomorrow. I just hope it arrives before I leave for Florida in early January. I will only be gone two or three weeks. Well maybe four weeks.
 
I have purchased this book and it is very detailed. There are color illustrations of the Confederate naval chaplain, light house service, and revenue service. This book is probably the only place you will find color illustrations of these uniforms.
 
Purtroppo Amazon (l'editore del libro), ha facoltà di cambiare il prezzo a suo piacimento. Da un paio di settimane ha cambiato il prezzo da 38€ (concordato) a 87€ !!! Devo vedere se all'autore è rimasto invariato, a me lo vendono 20€ spero non l'abbiano raddoppiato anche per me.
 
I do hope Amazon does not raise the price too much. I was planning on purchasing an extra copy and take it along with me to the Company of Military Historian annual convention (move to October). I planed on donating the book to the silent auction. I am not sure our overseas forum members might not understand how this works. Instead of making a donation of cash to the society, one donates an item. People put a bid on a piece of paper and place the bid in a box. The highest bidder wins the item. Silent auctions add to the fun of the meeting and you never know what you might win. Anyway, I think a few of the attendees at Company of Military Historian annual convention would be interested in the book, perhaps if they do not win the bid they might order the book.
