Steven Turnbull's new samurai book is expensive, thin, few if any sources,

Its already in the mail from Amazon but I think I'll enjoy it anyway. Looks
like he's got another coming out next year.

As are many of his books. But WHICH book are you
referring to, please? Title?

Thanks,

Nate

Hi Jack

If you are critising a work it would be nice to know the title!! I know that Stephen Turnbull has been rather busy on the publishing front lately having decided to give up his "day job" and do another MA..... I have just bought the "Samurai - the World of the Warrior" - and at 224 pages its not thin! I was expecting to see some new illustrations by Angus McBride but for some unknown reason there has been no illustrator collaboration on this book. However, Stephen has illustrated it well with various photos and prints gathered from his 2003 "study tour". At first glance it looks different! but I will be doing a review as soon as I get chance to read it.... I now await the promised "Kawanakajima" in the Osprey Series..

Rod :-)
