Buying directly from Tarckstory it is 14.5 euro or about $18.30US. If that is the only title ordered then you're up to almost $25US with shipping, but then again if you ordered one Concord book (I chose the Amtracs title, but this series is usually the same price) from ModelMecca it is $17.50 plus $7.65 shipping or $25.15 total. Of course you cannot compare it directly to Concord as Concord titles are basically photo books. Osprey's New Vanguard series would be a better comparison in both size and format. And in this comparison, I think that even with the split French/English text, the Trackstory book gives you a better reference than you would get from Osprey. There are more color plates (which also include a matching photos) and 1/35 scale line drawings vs. Osprey's small 1/72 drawings.
