Title: Gernot Schlager's New Book
Post by: Ed Humphreys on May 08, 2019, 05:42:16 AM

Our Austrian friend, Gernot Schlager has given us news of his new book, "Bilder aus dem Mittelalter"  (picures from the Middle Ages).
It contains over 200 high-quality photos of flats and dioramas and will be on sale at Kulmbach at a special price of 23 euros. I certainly intend to have a copy on my bookshelves.

Looks like I should get this book.
Is Mr. Schlager selling it by himself at Kulmbach?

I bought my copy (and a few others for friends) from the author at Kulmbach, and am delighted with it. There is a total of 209 photographs of 30mm figures, mostly military and in groups. Gernot Schlager has a delicate touch with heraldry, and the armour is very well rendered. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, even for non-German speakers.

Hello Sandor,
I was told that it should be available in normal bookstores. I just checked amazon but didn´t find it.
Best thing is to get in touch with the KLIO (http://www.zinnfiguren-klio.de/startframes.html). I think they can give you further informations.

If it is any help, it is published by Akaziaverlag, and the ISBN is 978-3-9504365-2-5. I will send Gernot an e-mail asking him where the book may be obtained.

Thank you both!
I contacted KLIO to get some further information.
I keep the society informed about the developments - may be others are also interested in this book.
