The Odyssey of a U-Boat Commander
I wanna read this book, but $103 is more than I can afford. Checked the Houston library, no luck. Anyone know of a cheaper paperback edition?
http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-U-Boat.../dp/0275938980 Any ideas? Has anyone read this?

That is quite pricey.
 But it could be worse...http://www.amazon.com/Janes-Fighting...4458129&sr=1-3

Yup, that's one I want to get my hands on as well. It's on my Wish List at Amazon... keep promising myself that I'll treat myself out of a holiday bonus or some such, but the money always ends up being needed elsewhere.
I haven't seen a cheaper version anywhere either, and Amazon's usually the cheapest source that I trust anyway. Never spent anywhere near that much on just one book before, but eventually I'll cough it up because, dude, it's TOPP.

Can you check something for me? Dial up Google and paste The Odyssey of a U-Boat Commander in and search. What are the top few results?

I'm getting a broken link message when I try to go to bookfinders.com - anybody else having any luck with that?
Did a Froogle search for sellers, here's a link to that: http://www.google.com/products/catal...7&os=sellers#p Looks like the lowest price is around $78 but I've never heard of that seller. |

The link is with no "s"
http://www.bookfinder.com/ Bought through links found there many times ... normally you end up on a site such as abebooks that handles multiple antiquariats and is trustworthy, as far as I can tell.

Don't look at me, Amazon was listing it at that price when I first looked it up.
In other words, blame Neal.

For that price, I would expect Erich Topp to deliver the book himself......or young, buxom, scantily clad females.

It's a good book. It's more reflective than thrilling. Interesting insights into the history of the period and his post-war career in the West German Navy and NATO. If you are looking for thrilling u-boat exploits, this is definitely not the book for you.
I purchased the book in 1997 and was fortunate enough to get it signed by Topp in 1999.
