Kevin Elliott, who photographed, co-authored and edited the King & Country books, has re-released them as e-books for a fraction of the price ($29.99 per Volume). They can now be downloaded onto smartphones or tablets, so can be easily brought as references to shows, etc. Here are links to the volumes of the book as e-books:

If you follow the links, there are previews of the books, about 35-45 pages of each, which show Kevin's incredible photography, and give you an idea of the information provided.

Just for the record, although I researched and wrote much of the text, I make nothing off the sale of these books. I am posting this because I think Kevin did a fantastic job with the books, especially his masterful photography, and, as e-books, I think they will be very useful to K&C collectors interested in the early history of the company from 1984 through the year 2000. A fifth volume, on K&C's treatment of desert warfare up through around 2010, is in the works and should be published shortly.

Just some samples of Kevin's photographs for the upcoming Desert War volume. Every figure, vehicle, aircraft and diorama piece in the photos are produced by K&C:
