Quote:This seems to be all of my making. I am sorry as its caused a lot of grief. I only asked, in good nature, if Mr Bishop could do a complete book on helmets. It got a good response though.My granny used to say 'if you don't ask, you don't get' so you were right to do so. It's neither your nor my fault that the circumstances make it well-nigh impossible, especially when some of the main beneficiaries of such reference books would be the very museums charging for the photos (and they have no choice in that as they too have to cover their costs). Funny old world...
Mind you, I'm not sure I'd fancy the headaches of the Crosby Garrett book multiplied by several hundred!
