Hi Robert
I have the book which I bought because I thought it might help with what I am working on with regards to clothing, in fact there was as usual very little but this is a book based on archaeological finds in Britain so perhaps that is not surprising.
Moreover if you are after a book with lots of pictures that is something you can quickly glance through or use to make things, forget it. There is one drawing of a plumbata and lots of graphs and charts of find spots and lots and lots of archaeo-techno babble. It will therefore require a serious sit down and read and unfortunately at the moment I have not been able to do that myself.
However I did notice Andrew Broznya mentioned in the acknowledgements so perhaps he might be able to provide more information.
