Apologies... yours is just out of shot...

You mean you haven't got all your Hikoki's in one place in a matching line?

Mine are (from left to right): X-Planes of Europe - British Experimental Combat Aircraft of WW2 - Black Box Canberras - Teach for the Sky - Typhoon to Typhoon - On Atlas' Shoulders - Listening In - Nimrod's genesis - Vulcan's Hammer - Battle Flight - Chinese Aircraft.

My only concern is that when Chris Gibson's They Also Serve comes out I'll have to break up the gang as beside them are the Air Britain Miles volumes and that's a full shelf. Such are the conundrums of bookshelf organisation.

Mine are separated across a few shelves arranged by subject / country. I do like the UK. titles all matching across their spines tho

Sorry... I tend to arrange by theme with the exception of the Putnams...

To avoid having to move them back and forth, I used placeholders in each row.

But who - apart from the master himself - knows how many more volumes on the subject will be published by Hikoki? And then the rearranging starts all over again ...
