If you go into to the Book Review section of the Forum, go up to the SEARCH bar in the upper right, and use the down arrow for "Search This Forum" you can find recommendations for specific topics.

 

Here is a thread we had awhile back on Vietnam era resources:

Hope that helps.

As a collector of WW II patches, can Thor996 tell me the names of the three volumes to which he cites? Thank you.

got the keller books and love them! thanks

Can you tell me what the titles are of these books? I did a search under "keller books" and got no where. I have numerous patch books including Pete Morgan's but I don't think I have the "Keller Books."

 

Thanks for your aid.

Hans De Bree's book is also great - it doesn't show every patch made, but is excellent at showing in great detail all the styles of WW2 patch embroidery

Maybe the best advice! Not only a great way to learn about patches but also to get to know new people with the same interest :)

Amazon got a little richer thanks to this forum. Three volumes of Keller's books and De Bree's tome are now on their way to me. I have many WW II patches, always interested in more about the, Thank you gentlemen for sharing your expertise.
