Hi
There is usually a modern paperback copy on ebay quite often £10-£15, an original will cost £100 plus.
Might have it on the National Army Museum sight.

Hi springbok and 90th. re,
dp&g and keith smith,it
was a couple of years ago
in that ' other place ' that
i read that keith had sever-
ed all connection with dp&g.
and threatened to sue if they
tried to sell any more of his
work.

Now to me dp&g were horribly
expensive and the illustrations
were without exception very
poor.just my opinion.saying that
it still did'nt stop me purchasing
all keiths work inc a lot of others'

So now im wondering if keith has
resolved any issues he had with
them. cheers xhosa2000

Hi Les
Interesting comments. Ive bought a few books from them and Ive only had good quality and service. 90ths been dealing with them more than I but again I dont think hes had a problem. I will drop Keith a e mail and see if there are any outstanding issues.
I will pop down to the town later today and check the Post Box.

Cheers

Hi Les .
I've had many dealings with DP&G and I cant remember ever having a problem with them , some items can be classed as expensive but from memory these are the harder to find publications . I was looking for one of K.Smith's books and couldnt find it anywhere, and when I did , it was really expensive , DP&G have it for a good price . You need to study mo

Cheers 90th.

Frank,Gary, thats fine if you are pleased with
your purchases,you pays yer money and make
your choice, what i'm really saying is that yes,
if you cant get your hands on the original then
dp&g prove to be valuable source for the hard-
core who must have this infomation at any price.

As said i have all Keiths output, lastly his out-
standing Wedding feast. but i tend to find their
volumes a bit ' samey ' and even garish. my
real problem with them is their reproduction of
photograph's..the illustrations are mainly fine..
i give as my prime example..Stalker's, The
Natal Carbineer's, i was so disappointed when it
arrived i was sorely tempted to send it straight
back..and it was'nt cheap..£50.00. ( it still is )
but one day i will get a decent copy of the orig-
inal.they always surface from time to time.

Frank,hope its there for you.been advised that your
postal service aint what it could be. ( by several
of your country men.).
cheers xhosa2000
