Ze043. 09. Books were available with a 10 % discount and I bought a copy, The attack on the USS Liberty book, I got already because the author sent me a signed copy. He indeed is a Gentleman. Picture credit to Mr. Curtis Sorrell.

Ze042. 08. After the question and answer period the author signed books. I did not have to wait because he sent me signed copy already. But I did buy a copy of the book Target Tokyo. The hall was very full and the staff had to get many more chairs. So the line was too long and I skipped the signing of my Target Tokyo book. Photo credit to the Philippine Heritage Library.

Ze048. 18. Karl was a happy camper at the book launch of Rampage: MacArthur, Yamashita, and the Battle of Manila by James Scott. 12th Feb. 2019. I was happy; that I made it and that the family came. After all, the author invited me, and my friend Lou Jurika encouraged me strongly. See his book critique at the front of this thread.
