Hello, I am new to using this forum as I usually post on Warrelics. I am just now discovering this book series as a whole and am very intrigued in Volume 2. But seeing as how the thread about this volume is 3 years old, does that mean it's too late to obtain the book?

Send user " Mecklenburg" a direct message.
( the one above your post)
He is the author, perhaps he's got a copy left

I'm not on Facebook but I think Johan is and you can contact him through there and get on the list to purchase direct from him.
His books are made to order so you may have to wait a bit for the next batch to be printed if he doesn't have any on hand.
He is a very nice guy and would be happy to help you.

In fact, Johan also produced a 3 volume set, Imperial German Field Uniforms and Equipment 1907- 1918, which was printed by Schiffer Military History, years ago. These are good books too! But produced quite a while ago, maybe you can search for those 3 volumes too, also great books!
