Some short reviews:
“Today I got my dedicated copy from Antonio Scapini’s new book ‘Italian-German Medal for the African Campaign.’ Great work and very useful book. In this book can be find all information to place the Africa medal between the WWII badges. And of course the needed information about types, variants, fakes, packets, award docs, 57 versions and more. Well detailed, and marked pictures for identify the badges. Warning: After the reading the book you can easy pick up the ‘Africa Medal Bug’…. Summary: new tool arrived for our ‘collector toolbox.’”

“I just got my dedicated book in the mail yesterday from Neil Stewart. The book is great and very helpful. It really goes into great depth and the color photos make it even better. It is a must have. If you go to the SOS pick up a copy.”
—Jody, Arizona
“A must have for any collector to add to their reference library whether you collect this medal or not”

“I received my copy of the Afrika medal book today (thanks Neil!) and I had planned on getting a few things done this afternoon. Did NOT happen! Thought I possessed the "will power" to just skim through the book and put away until later. I am weak! I must state the book is amazing in detail, expertly researched, and printed/bound to a high quality standard! The images reproduced in the book are well chosen and supplement the Afrika medal information very nicely. Antonio and Tiger III Publishing should both be commended for an excellent book at a fair price! I highly recommend you pick up a copy for yourself; it will be one of the best $45 purchases you have ever made in Militaria collecting! ”

“I finally reviewed the nice publication and thoroughly enjoyed it in comparison with other award and decoration references catalogued in my library. The history of the medal really generates captivating interest as well as the other broad aspects about the creation of the award that I really had no knowledge to date. This is good for a novice and advanced collector.
“I feel that Mr Scapini set a precedence here in establishing an organized reference based on the types of medals, packets, doc's etc. we identify by association. Was flattered and glad to see the illustrations residing in my collection and beneficial learning experience emanating from the book. As a result I believe the book has stimulated interest and increased the market circulation of the Italo-Deutsche Afrika Medal. An overall unique index. Thanks and congratulations dear friend Antonio.”
