Monty,

It looks like the book is written in German as his last wonderful book is. Maybe Eric Bye, Bob Roller, or some other German speaker would translate this one, too?

The cost is high, but not unreasonable for all 604 pages of the superb quality of Erhard’s work. I hope the shipping costs might be brought down by one of our American ML shops to help make the work more affordable to us. I’ll be first in line to get one!

Hello Bill, yes it is not cheap but there are really excellent pictures in it and great descriptions. And that's the problem, it's a very small edition and the costs have increased immensely. With this book, he even did without the hard cardboard where the first book is inserted, which otherwise made it expensive.

The Euro is trading at $1.04 currently so the time to buy is now. Unsure of how to get funds to the given bank.
I have his first book with Byes translation. The photos are worth the price. Mr. Byes translation makes it that much better.
A lot of the descriptions are easier to read in English rather than struggling with my High School German.
It has helped my German vocabulary when it comes to guns.

You will find a web page address for the book in Dennis's post. That site has all the details about how to order.

Added information:
It has come to my attention that Erhard's has a few of his first book about Jaegerrifles that are also for sale, see below for ordering information. Dennis

The first book costs 145$ the shipping costs are already included.
You can also order and pay for it on my new website. But the customer should explicitly state that he wants to order my first book.

Kind Regards
Erhard

I want to order Erhard's new book, but don't know how to transfer funds securely from my bank or credit card. Any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Carl

I am interested as well, but a little confused by the transfer of funds.

PayPal is,the easiest but not sure that is,an option.
Credit card works well on international purchases.

Dennis, thanks for the reply. I do not see an option for Paypal, or a credit card payment. All I see is an option for direct transfer to his bank account through an international bank to bank IBAN transfer, which I cannot find any info for on any of my several bank accounts.

Thanks,
Carl

You will need to go in to your bank and request an international wire transfer to his account using the information he's provided. 
There will probably be a charge from your bank and maybe a conversion charge.

Agreed, his payment process isn't the easiest or best, but it's what he requires.  I'm heading over to the bank next week to facilitate the funds transfer.

UPDATE ... I've tried a couple different methods to transfer funds, without any luck.  Both xe.com and xoom.com decline the transaction.  A trip to the bank this week has been scheduled.

It's unfortunate that it's this difficult to purchase his book.

GOOD NEWS ON BUYING THIS BOOK!
 
Erhard Wolf found Wise Transfer Company that works at a reasonable rate. Here is the link:  https://wise.com   
I opened their site and registered with them quite easily. They charged only about $7 for the service. Unlike the other transfer company I tried, this site was helpful, straight forward, and made success easy. Use Erhard’s info below for the WISE site.

178 € per book to following bank account:

account owner: Erhard Wolf

IBAN: DE82 6005 0101 7006 6120 93

BIC: SOLADEST600

A debit card was cheaper to use than a credit card. I am eager to see the book, and it is on the way now!

Agreed ... it appears that the wise.com site is the best option.  Using your bank is probably the most expensive and onerous option, so I'm glad he found this.
