How interesting!
I picked up an old Armour book the other day that was quite interesting, The Worlds Armoured Fighting Vehicles by Dr FM Von Senger and Etterlin. An english translation of the original german bookdated 1962 (german version 1960)

A review of the Leopard book from Armorama, which concludes with the following:
"To say that this book is extensive would be a serious understatement. This is one of the MOST comprehensive books on any military vehicle that this reviewer has ever seen. From inception to retirement this covers the ENTIRE history of the Leo 1 in Australian Service and does it with style. I honestly do not know what more you could have crammed into this. From tons of photos to blue prints and line drawings (in scale no less!) this book really has it all.
Even if you are not a kangaroo hugger, this is a must for any fan of the modern Leopard family of tanks. From all of the photos of the vehicle to the blue prints of the track-width mine plow and other mine clearing devices this is a great resource for modellers as well as just armour enthusiasts. Even you “modern armour only” guys will want to pick up this book and have it for light reading in your down time. It really is that good."

The author is, naturally, pretty happy with that!
