For any of you Tiger fans, this is one book you must have. They released a 50th Anniversity Commemoritave Edition back in 1992, so it is somewhat scarce...but you can find it on Ebay. It goes from anywhere b/w $75 (original price) and $150 for the individually numbered and autographed copies (comes with an autographed lithograph of Otto Carius).
This book is utterly superb in its breadth of information. It doesn't get down to the nitty gritty details like nut and bolt-size like the excellent Thomas Jentz books, but it does tell the whole story of the Tiger from conception to the individual experiences of Tank aces. It even goes into accounts from Henschel factory workers who describe what it was like to build the Tiger. Over 330 pages.
