A friend of mine is a rare book dealer. He just forwarded me this from a list he subs to. It looks useful. Check it out. ********************* >>Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 22:23:20 EDT >>Subject: [BI] DOD publications - where to get some of them, and other >good >>stuff >> >>I have provided below a list of useful URLs for ordering military >>publications for resale.
