Interesting! I have to confess to liking paper. I can get it from my online bookstore Chapters here in Canada, it's on my wish list. I usually add enough stuff to get free shipping. I even have a $10 gift certificate that's been buying a hole in my e-wallet. :mrgreen:


Me too liking paper.

Enjoy the read once you receive it.

Cheers,

Helen

Well...due to the ADHD I can't read just one book at a time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm currently on a marathon re-read of Steven Saylor's 'Roma Sub Rosa' series in anticipation of the release of 'The Seven Wonders'.

I'm also reading 'The Last Hundred Yards - the NCO's Contribution to Warfare' by H.J. Poole;

'Around the Roman Table' by Patrick Faas;

'War and Peace';

'Safari - A Saga of the African Blue' by Martin Johnson.

The 'to read' pile is much much bigger. :oops:

I came home from fleamarket today with a bag full with five big books. Including an original edition Prussian army list from 1912 and a nice edition of Flavius Josephus rerum judaicarum. A small pocket book, just a thousand pages. :lol:
All together for the price of two cinema admission cards. And a small bag of Popcorn?

I had started 1000 years of annoying the French again after mentioning it last week. Because of yesterday my current reading list has increased to include Pike and Shotte, Carnevalle, Clash of Empires and it's Dark Age supplement. I probably ought to just stick to one though.

Saxon pikemen used to wear Bauta masks when forming a testudo right?

At Salute I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to shelve my plans to read Iain Gale's 'Alamein' and instead get stuck into 'With the Jocks'...

@Paul

Thumbs up for the ' With the Jocks'
Possibly the best WWII eyewitness account I've ever read.
Much better than the (semi-fictional?!) Ambrose stuff.
Btw, the cover depicts a squaddie holding a rifle with a lose strap.
This was the main inspiration to add some straps to my BAM Brits.
Actually, I even ordered some separate 'Jock' heads...but in the end I didn't
go THIS far ;)

If you don't start a new WWII plastic project after you've read this book
I'll seriously have to doubt your hobby commitment :lol:

Enjoy
