This thread is turning interesting (but shouldn't it be placed in 'References and Reviews? )<br>
I have paid more money for far worse books and, after Mike's fascinating insight into the publisher's world, I'll just say on the price that it could have surely been a little cheaper, anyway..<br>
BUT<br>
What everybody expected and are not present at the book are detailed modern surveys of extremely important and unique items like the horse armour and the shields...<br>
PROBABLY<br>
Simon James has mainly intended (as stated in the foreword) to make available all the military items while leaving the door open for deeper future studies and it's just to easy on our part to criticize...<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
