New WWI Helmet Books

I need to update my helmet book list, but I just picked up Radovic's and Haselgrove's two new helmet books:

History of the Steel Helmet in the First World War: Austro-Hungary, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Vol. 1

and

History of the Steel Helmet in the First World War: Great Britain, Greece, Holland, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, United States, Vol. 2

Both books lack in text, but there isn't much to say about these that hasn't been said. The photos are simply fantastic. Great studio shots of some great helmets, and some fantastic period photos. The only thing is that I wish the authors would contact some of us helmet collectors to round out some of the collections in the books. But overall I'm quite impressed!
 
If anyone is ever at a loss for where to get a book you need, I can guarentee www.abebooks.com WILL have it. I recently saw a 30's german book on the Red Baron selling for $200. I went to abebooks and bought one, exactly the same, WITH the original dustcover, for $55.
