Default "Distinguishing Patches" ready for delivery soon

Twelve years after its first publication, "Distingusihing Patches" is almost ready for delivery. The Second Edition of DP has been printed and the book is in transit to Canada. I expect to be able to start shipping these by the end of the month. This edition sees the book increasing from 56 pages in 12pt to 72 pages in 10pt. In addition, the colour poster has been divided into 8 colour pages at the end of the book for a total of 80 pages.
I do not normally offer signed copies because it is just too hard to keep track of the requests but, for this forum only, I will accept PMs requesting signed copies.

The book can be ordered on-line at Service Publications

This book is a must have for any collector/researcher of Canadian militaria or military history. But, I am not sure what premium Clive's signature will add?

Clive's signature will certainly reduce the value of this fine reference work. Who the heck wants a book that someone has written in?? LOL

I suppose I should be ordering my copy too. My old one was lent out and never returned.

Although not so much with the UpClose series of books there is a certain truth to my unsigned gun books being rarer than the signed ones.
After 7 books I now have my "x" signature pefected.

These may be delayed to 1 Dec as I was not pleased with the copy they air expressed to me. The last two colour pages sucked. The books are on a boat already and I got in touch with my book broker. They are going to destroy this shipment when it arrives in Vancouver and are printing the book over. This is why they will be a month later.
