Russ Arendell is willing to do another printing of these 2 books. He needs at least 10 people to commit to it. Right now he has 4 committed on the Italy at War book. 7 committed on the Japan at War book.
I believe that book on Italian militaria is the best one and really the only one in English. The work is extensive and many collectors contributed to the book. I have the digital copy and it is indispensable if you plan on collecting any Italian gear.
The book on Japanese miliaria is extensive. Many of the top Japanese collectors contributed to this one. There are a several other collector types books on Japanese militaria but I believe this one is superior.
I have no connection to Russ and won't profit in any way except I really want a copy of each!!
