Looks good, I guess I'll start saving my pennies, and bringing back soda bottles to buy one.

Just picked this book up a week ago at the local Borders for $19.95. It's a good resource, reads easily, good pics, and lays out the chronological development of the M4 clearly. Well worth the price IMO.

Hi guys

This is the kind of thing our hobby needs alot more of. Its a good piece of reference for an affordable price tag. No it does not cover every nut and bolt on the tank. As hobbiest I don't think we need to know more about a vehicle than those that designed the thing. For $20, ya its worth a run to Borders. I'm not as Sherman crazy as some but who knows. I've had some Sherman dio idea bouncing around the back of my head, { God knows there's more than enough room in the back of my head } Ya The more I think about it, the more I want it.

I bought this book a few weeks ago from Amazon. Just finished reading it, and found it quite informative and interesting, at least for a non-Shermaholic like myself. Lots of good photos as well. I'm planning on doing a sherman build (one day) and this was my first reference book dedicated to a particular vehicle, so I can't really compare it to any others...

The author, Michael Green, has a couple of more books in this "At War Series" due out soon including one on the M2/M3 Bradley and one on the Tiger.

I'd definitely be interested in the Tiger book. I'll have to keep my eyes open for that one, thanks for the info!
