Finnish reference book
I believe that reference books are a mainstay of any collection. To boot, my library is overflowing with all sorts of material collected since childhood and ranging from large, heavy, thick tomes to boxes of ephemera.
Language doesn't put me off. Case in point is the attached item, a definitive book on the Finnish Defence Forces, published 1971. It is profusely illustrated with historical photographs and has beautiful colour spreads detailing flags and insignia. As it is not bi-lingual, I resort to Google Translate.
I have a few Finnish items which I will post in due course. It was a fool's dream of mine to aspire in having insignia from around the world, but throughout the years the searching has given me pleasure and satisfaction.
