My collection of his books includes:
The titles I own are only a fraction of Don's output. He was a prestigious writer (and not just of military and wargaming books), and I doubt if any modern wargame writers will come close to matching the sheer volume of books and articles he produced during his long life.
My collection of his books includes:

- NAVAL WAR GAMES (1965 and 1975 editions)

- SOLO-WARGAMING (1973 edition)
