Books, ie. photo content.

It seems that every week I have someone say to me that they will not buy a book because it is not written in English. The book may have 200 unpublished photos, but I still hear the not written in English whine. Remember the old saying, one picture is worth a thousand words.
The non-English text should be only a minor setback. With a little effort you can figure out what the captions are saying. Please, do not let the text problem keep you from having a very good book for your collection. If you stay with English text you will be missing out. Also keep in mind that during World War Two there were many, many nations involved in the air war. Most of these countries have published books about their air war history, and this is not limited to W.W.2. So do yourself a favor. Look twice at these books. You may really see something you like.
