It does look interesting but that is a steep price for an ebook. Also, only offering pdf is severely limiting if you are trying to appeal to the electronic reader audience. Epub and mobi are the way to go.

Good luck to you.

I"m sorry, $20 for an ebook is out of line.

I'm not sure why you chose those particular publishers, but please consider "Smashwords" and you can reach a much wider audience.

Kindle, nooks and Sonys do no show pdf's well at all.

You really need epub and .mobi.

I second the above; I'd never spend $20 on an e-book and I'd never buy a PDF-only e-book at any price. Also, there are any number of engrossing WWI and WWII journals already available at far lower prices, or even in the public domain.

My computer didn't display the PDF very well... The last line on the page was missing, unless I had it on 75%... Page 6 was repeated twice, and I found missing words on the first 2 pages...

Another thing missing was " " when someone was speaking..

$20 is a ridiculous price..

Definitely a no-go for me..

The price is high, but whatever the price is, please don't make me go to PayPal to find it out. I couldn't see the price for either the paper or e-book version until I clicked on a PayPal link.
