The book (encyclopedia) looks very attractive, but no longer distributed by the editor, searching for second haznd ... is there an electronic copy, PDF or scanned?) .. Excellent to paint antiquity characters !!! (I have a lot of them)...

    Well have been working on some Elephants and Just got  Against Deluge Polish and Lithuanian  Armies  1655-1660 form Helion and Company My next one will be The Army of the Manchu Empire 1600-1727 , Of Kerns and Gallowglasses the Irish Armies 16th Century , French Armies of the Thirty years War.  At the present time I have a back order of there books so if you go to there page and type in Armies or Uniforms you can see what's coming. The other day a friend of mine asked me why I buy these types of books and I said I used them to paint with :o  both Paper and Hard Back.  I would say most of us do that and add on how to mix colors. So let me Know what you think. Willie
