Re: Which SS Reference Book is better? Need Advice
What is it your looking to learn about the ss? Edge weapons, Uniforms, Units, etc....? This would help in choosing your first book. Like you say, soon I will have all of them. I think thats the best idea. No matter which book i've bought lately, I always find another is helpful. I wish I would have bought more earlier on, would have saved me a ton! Good luck. I'd would comment on a certian book, but I feel there are more suitable members to do so.

Re: Which SS Reference Book is better? Need Advice
The "problem" is that different reference books have totally different approaches to the subject matter and that they focus on different aspects, too; there is no single reference work that covers everything.
Thus, it is almost impossible to recommend a single one; if you really want useful information that is both broad and in-depth, you will have to go for a whole number of different titles.

I agree 100%.All SS books are tools and you will glean from each one information that will help you!Try Ebay on this one as they do have SS books a bit cheaper than the $70-85 retail on these books from a dealer.Good Luck

Thanks for more suggestions. I found a used copy of Michael Beaver's vol 1 Uniforms. To narrow down the many many selections out there, i am looking for a book on Cuff Titles and SS Collar Tabs primarily. Then i would like an excellent book on the EK's and the RK's. Thanks.

You could try messaging Friederich Berthold and asking him....I would think if anyone would know the best reference materials, it would be him.
