REVIEW BY Hal Ottaway, Wichita KS:

Hal Ottaway, after reviewing the new and improved edition says:…."Without a doubt, this is the "Google(c)" of WWII postcards! The Index by Inscription is so convenient to use and then be able to sort by publisher and file that way too, and enjoy knowing where your postcards are in these large categories of collecting. Fabulous also to have actual pictures of so many of the postcards listed. This new edition is expanded and is probably going to be just like the first edition, the single reference book that I use most often, every day."
