I know there are a lot of Aliens fans on the tank so I thought I would let people know about the reprint of the, "Aliens Colonial Marine Technical Manual," that is now available. I've been going over it for a couple of weeks now and there is a bunch of cool stuff in this; photos of the marines armor and weapons, technical drawings of gear and vehicles, info on troop deployment and the tactical uses of them as well as background on the time frame the movie takes place in. Also, the book is peppered throughout with what are supposed to be transcripts taken from interviews with the enlisted USCM soldiers that are a fun read.

The book is going for a pretty reasonable price for what you get, "I crap you negative."

I don't know since I don't have the old version, (didn't even know it existed till about a month ago.) As far as I can tell it's just a reprint with no new material.
