Default Sources for the 5th Edition Standard Catalog

I found another source that is much less expensive and I'm not sure why, It's called "Vital Source" and it's not clear to me just how the Catalog is presented, may be on line. Anyone know anything about this source?

I looked it up and it seems to be a digital library. When you purchase the product, you get a viewing license for a specified length of time.

For instance, one of the "books" is The Standard Catalog of Military Firearms. You pay $27.99 to license a digital product for a set duration, which is determined at the time of purchase; in this case, $27.99 gets you "lifetime" of 5 years of online access and a permanent download to a supported device.

Default Appreciate you, Sir!

Thanks "HairTrigger", I tried to look it up but am too dumb to understand what I read.

Thanks! My copy arrived today, prefer TB any day, over Amazon.

And yes, it's (still) a great book!

Amazon currently offering for $55.34, free shipping with Prime. I just ordered my copy and it'll be here later today. They're saying the price is a "limited time offer".

Just got mine today from Amazon. $63.21, free shipping and NYS tax included. Sure beats my old first edition from 1996 that had only 237 pages.
