Turner Publishers
C.I.B. MEDIA is proud to offer the commemorative edition
military unit history classics published and crafted by Turner Publishers. As
Turner's largest independent distributor, C.I.B. MEDIA has hundreds of military
unit and association commemorative history books spanning WWI, WWII, Korea,
Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. Turner's books are unique because the special
stories and biographies are told from the memories of the veteran who lived
the history.
In
addition, all unit histories are thoroughly researched, often with the assistance
of the actual unit and/or its veteran association. Each commemorative book is
printed in a very limited quantity - usually only 1,000 - which increases their
collector's value.
All books are crafted and custom designed with only the finest
material available in the printing industry. Extra time and care were taken
to produce these treasured keepsakes. Most unit history books are either 8.5x11
or 9x12 inches - extra large "coffee table" size books. Pages are #1 grade,
acid-free, double coated glossy paper which ensures photo quality unsurpassed
in the industry which virtually brings the battles and history back to life.
All of Turner's books are smyth sewn (pages are stitched into
the bindings, not just glued) for longevity and for your future generations.
Each book contains painstakingly researched history, gripping first person accounts,
patches, personal biographies of the unit's veterans and more! Many of the superior
photographs have never before been published.
If you do not see your unit on the partial list of titles, just
call or e-mail C.I.B. MEDIA! We accept prepaid orders for new books scheduled
for release within 6 months. Our Turner books can be identified by the "#T-"
in the product code number.
Battery Press
Our other primary publisher for many WWII and Korea reprinted
original unit histories is Battery Press (identified by the "BP" code). Many
of these outstanding books were originally published shortly after World War
II and/or Korea and were actually written and compiled while the units were
still fighting.
Having
obtained the rights to duplicate these 50-year old books, BP reprints the original
book with the improved quality paper for photographic clarity, stronger bindings
and more attractive covers available today. Most BP books are printed in limited
quantity-as are the Turner books-usually 500-1,000, which makes them collectors
items the day they are printed.
With few exceptions, Battery Press and Turner unit history books
can not be found in bookstores because of the limited publication of each volume.
Other Publishers
Other key publishers of our military unit and battle histories
include our friends at Presidio Press, Naval Institute Press, Squadron/Signal
Publications, Stackpole, Greenhill, Schiffer Military, Combined Books and several
university presses.
We also distribute quality documentary military history videos
from many video publishing companies from around the world.
C.I.B. MEDIA'S OBJECTIVE IS TO BECOME THE BEST SINGLE SOURCE IN
AMERICA FOR "UNIT-SPECIFIC" HISTORY BOOKS AND VIDEOS.
