I finnished reading Shadrake's book one or two weeks ago (thanks for the sugestion!). Some of the info is very good (mainly on equipment) but some of the other stuff was somewhat vague and not very clear. A glossary would have been welcome too. Overall I liked it but I feel I need a more comprehensive book.
I'm probably going to get Dunkle's book in the comming months. It seems to be more "complete" regarding other aspects of roman games and spectacles, like Naumachia (~9 pages, maybe covering water shows too) and Venationes (~50 pages). I certainly would like to read a review too.
It would be good to get Junkelmann's book in english. Someone here said it was going to get a translation, but I guess that went the way of the dodo.
