Wednesday, 12 August 2020

Hurrah!... Another new Book...

Greetings...

This book arrived today...


Volume Two of Uniforms of the French Armies 1750-1870 in the Art of JOB...

https://soldiershop.com/shop/uniforms-of-french-armies-1750-1870-vol-2/

Once again it is exactly what it says on the cover...
I have always liked JOB’s artwork... it is clear and detailed with... when appropriate... a touch of humour...
I think that there are five books in the series... I intend to buy them all... wild and unchained thing that I am...

Some more Sassanids up next...

All the best.  Aly

    All five? Have you won the Lottery? Seriously though, looks a useful addition to the library.

    Nope - not doing this. Not buying another book and being tempted back into Napoleonics. Nope.

    Those books are great. When being addicted you can spend a fortune on their website ;-)

    Best wishes,

    P.S. Out of hospital and back home finally! Back to the minis soon I hope ;-)

      You are of course correct... the Soldiershop website is a very dangerous place to go... I highly recommend it 😂
      It’s great to hear that you are back home...

      All the best. Aly

      The website is a land of serious temptation...

    Looks like a very useful addition to the library Aly - one can never have too many books ….well that's my opinion, not sure my wife agrees!

    Very nice tip Aly and an intense investigation and purchase certainly looks in order. I do so much enjoy the work of Job.

      I have always liked the work of JOB... I was also quite surprised to find out that there are reproductions of some of his artwork available from Amazon...
