Quote:Overall I liked it but I feel I need a more comprehensive bookThank you, I know that she was frustrated by the format, she was told to lose 20,000 words (the subtraction of huge amounts of text, and trying to retain the context -took a very long time indeed )
The book was really aimed at showing the nuts & bolts of the games and focused on their reconstruction for model makers, film costume designers and of course re-enactors... if Junkelmann's books were in English then there may not have been the demand. (Susanna was approached by the publisher to do this).
I think the unique point was that (after the chapters on the origins) she wanted the emphasis to be on the provinces.
Feedback always welcome though.
