THE SS TOTENKOPF RING AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY FROM MUNICH TO NUREMBERG
by Craig Gottlieb, hardcover book with dust jacket, new copy.

Using modern tools not available to previous authors on this subject, Craig Gottlieb paints a comprehensive picture of the Totenkopf Ring and the man who was behind it – Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. Gottlieb draws on a body of over 200 examples to document currently believed notions about the ring. He offers never before seen photos and documents, and even develops many new well-reasoned theories about the Totenkopf (Death Head) ring. The book also covers the pre-history of the Totenkopf ring, placing its appearance onto the “SS Scene” in historical context. Also covered are design background, construction techniques, and an in-depth analysis of the physical characteristics of rings. Gottlieb also includes sections on award documents and frames, ring shipping boxes, and provides many never-before-seen photographs of rings in wear. Finally, he brings rings to life with an extensive “personality profile” chapter in which he illustrates several famous rings.  over 200 color/bw images, 256 pages.

All dust jackets for hardcover books are protected with clear plastic, fully removalbe covers. These will protect the dust jacket forever, keeping it in new condition for the life of the book. These are especially handy for the large oversize books whose jackets easily get torn as you might have noticed when browsing in bookstores. These are not a permanent part of the jacket, if you don't like it you can easily remove it without damaging the jacket. I cover all hardcover books with these covers and there are so popular that many customers buy them from me to put on books in their own collection.

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away.  Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse!
