MBK-001

- This is an absolutely fascinating book by ex-German U-Boat telegraphist, Heinz F.K. Guske. Guske, a submariner, was assigned to U-764 and sailed in the boat for 6 missions - surrendering on May 13, 1945 with the boat. He remained a prisoner of war in the UK for almost three years. As the boat's telegrapher, he was one of three who were privy to the Captain's diary. He was astounded at the numerous false reports the Captain entered, but there was nothing he could do about it until years later in 1985 he chanced upon a copy of the German U-boat magazine, Schaltung Kueste" and to his surprise he learned that his former Captain had written a book based upon copies of his diaries. Guske then "came out of the closet" and started his research. This great book is the result of his prior knowledge and his research - "The War Diaries of U-764 - Fact or Fiction? $9.95

MBK-002

- This is a direct wartime translation by the U.S. Navy from the 1943 edition of the German U-Boat Commander's Handbook. Compiled from combat experience and periodically updated, the handbook was at the side of every operational U-boat commander. Much more than a mere guide, it was a bible. A bible givinig exact counsel for every situation, every maneuver. From night surface attack t defensive measures necessary to ward off enemy aircraft - nothing is left unanswered. By memorizing its content, a young or newly appointed commander could draw on the experience of veteran submariners to assist him in the life and death struggle which awaited him. And today, as the handbook tells its story,the student of the Battle of the Atlantic can feel the drama of the U-boat in action. Through this book, the reader enters the mind of the U-boat commander. There are numerous illustrations and photographs in this reprint. These were added for the reader's general orientation. There is also an added section that explains certain terms. $9.95

MBK-003

- If you are looking for a really nice sideline, supplement to retirement income, or even a full time work-at-home business, you might want to consider this. You've heard that great things come in small packages and that certainly is the case in this valuable little book. Over the years I have written and self-published scores of how-to and special interest booklets. I only write about things I have done and my booklets are tutorials that share my experiences. These booklets are not just "ideas," but contain everything you need to get started on a shoestring. This is is my latest one and it covers one of the most fun and financially rewarding of any of my efforts. "Creating Profitable Displays" takes the reader from coming up with the idea through billing the item after the sale. It contains sources, methods of putting your displays together, pricing, marketing and advertising, laying out your work area, and even how to put together the best sign of any event you will participate in for around $100.00. It shows you how to make beautiful and unique displays out of small objects - giving added value to those objects. There are also pictures of a number of my different types of displays. I started creating my displays part time about 5 years ago to supplement my retirement income and I still devote only a few hours a week to creating them. But, they consistently generate between $1,500 and $2,000 per month. The book is on CD and you can search for keywords, print all or part, etc. $19.50
