I agree that Wikipedia's coverage of war memorials leaves a lot to be desired and I welcome a project that will improve this. The prices you've given for books seem reasonable to me and I haven't found any for a significantly lower price than you've quoted. I'm not going to demand you get used copies as quite often it seems they are only slightly cheaper than new ones (if at all) and represent poor value for money. The other option is libraries though you'll probably have to travel all-over-the-place to find all these books and the general inconvenience of returning them after a short period etc. probably makes that impractical. While getting other organisations/volunteers involved could make this project even more fruitful, it is certainly not essential; this proposal is good as it is now and has my support.

I agree that Wikipedia's coverage of war memorials leaves a lot to be desired and I welcome a project that will improve this. The prices you've given for books seem reasonable to me and I haven't found any for a significantly lower price than you've quoted. I'm not going to demand you get used copies as quite often it seems they are only slightly cheaper than new ones (if at all) and represent poor value for money. The other option is libraries though you'll probably have to travel all-over-the-place to find all these books and the general inconvenience of returning them after a short period etc. probably makes that impractical.
