I did buy Sim and Kaminsky's book. I also have Sim's earlier book. Iron for the Eagles actually gets referred to more often by me than any other book I own on Roman equipment. It is a fairly small book but has a ton of useful info in it. I think that the Travis book would have been taken more seriously if they left out the section on mail completely and didn't put Hollywood wrist bracers in their illustrations.
