    Received mine yesterday. I'm impressed.

    Besides the overwhelming information on straps and triangles there's a lot of info on uniforms and the specialist organisations, scools etc.

    Lots of great uniform photos and documents.

    The book is a very important addition to my HJ library.

    yes a very informative book for sure , unfortunately for what is supposed to be a reference book IMO is full of speculations some author drawings of what might exist and leaves much to be debated all of which take away from the factual still a good book .

    PS the author has suggest I write my own book

    hehe, sounds familiar.

    From what I hear the book is useful although some of the content has been challenged since the book went on sale. The section of the book dealing with unit lists is not as comprehensive as the author would have the reader believe. I remember reading a comment from him where he confidently stated that his lists were not 'quick and dirty' but I note that he has made much use of the very unreliable 1944 US SHAEF report and that his sources, certainly for the years 1937, 38 and 42 were not strong. Nevertheless, I will very probably buy it once it begins to appear on the second-hand market but at the moment I don't consider the book to be worth the current high price. .
