Nigel,
         I guess that goes to show us what a small world it can sometimes, eh?  I've been after the Imrie book for some years now. I'm not worried about a lack of profiles, I bought it for the information. I have more than enough color profiles provided by my Datafiles, Datafile Specials, Osprey books, and Pheon & A/G decal sets.  ;D

One doesn't always get the opportunity to replace Lost Treasures but I recently saw this on Hyperscale. I gave my original copy away in a trade and have regretted it for years. $10.00 + $3.00shipping    ;D
Not the greatest reference but the Photos are decent and it has Nostalgic Value to me.

Yes it is Terri! I also have another coming from a different Hyperscale listing that I will post when it arrives. I am enjoying looking through the photos tonight, some very nice ones I had forgotten. Funny thing is Nowarra makes some erroneous statements about certain Jasta colors( Jasta 10 red noses after joining JG1) but the art work in the book is correct  :o

I mentioned in my last post that I had another Book on the way. This is also a replacement of a "Lost" treasure". I became aware of this book circa 1970. I was given a tip that It could be found in NYC in a small book store in the village. Well, I happened to go to NYC in the summer of 1970 and sure enough found the book. I was a little short on funds a few years back and sold my original copy. So I was pleased to find this listed on Hyperscale. $30.00 including shipping.

Oh Rick, what a bargain - I'm very jealous, but glad that you have been re-united with an old friend.

Best wishes
Nigel
