Avete omnes,
I can also highly recommend this book, great stuff for reading as well as for enjoying the large amount of pictures. There are some full-page color plates from the artist Graham Turner like the one at the cover and a lot of beautiful pictures from re-enactors.
BTW, some of the pictures have directly inspired tin miniature manufacturers for new releases, two examples here:

Also there are a lot of black and white paintings showing representative grave stones of Roman soldiers. But specially and for me new was a summary of the story of re-enactment beginning not only with our modern groups but already with the paintings of Alma-Tadema and others that are described critically as well as modern film productions.
Great book, Graham.
