tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35712685816636048322011-08-26T05:32:39.485-04:00A forum to discuss rare and antiquarian military books. General musings and commentary on the same. Interesting tid-bits from the rare book trade related to military books, and anything else I can think of that might be of interest. This will most likely include commentary on what I am reading, what I have read, and what I hope to read. Any feedback is welcome!Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157585934097096248noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571268581663604832.post-83122403055897480872011-02-20T17:13:00.002-05:002011-02-20T17:15:11.078-05:00As you can see, nothing has transpired on this blog since my last post...I will endeavor to get my act together to update this shortly. I have recently made a number of acquisitions that I would like to share on the blog.

Lots of interesting volumes in the collection. With my interest in the Mesopotamian Campaign, I was naturally drawn to the lot on Maj Gen Townsend (Lot #3), but what really caught my eye was lot #89 <em>A to Z being Twentysix Notes on a Soldier’s Trumpet,</em> by Surgeon Major F.E. Scanlan, 1876. </div><br />Wasn't quick enough on the draw to get this one, but I thought this was great!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3571268581663604832-4864196112020270789?l=bibliomilitaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157585934097096248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571268581663604832.post-62462315383072784702009-04-02T12:13:00.002-04:002009-04-02T12:18:19.792-04:00After wandering aimlessly around other blogs and related sites trying to find a forum for those who collect antiquarian military books, or just want to discuss them, I finally have decided to take that step and start one here. Let's see what happens<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3571268581663604832-6246231538307278470?l=bibliomilitaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157585934097096248noreply@blogger.com0
