This appears to be the 'new' book by Osprey, which I asked for info. about a
while ago.
From other peoples comments, it looks as though it's probably just a
compilation of already-published Osprey books (I'm always suspicious of any
purported 'new' book that doesn't have a bibliography!!!). Osprey have a
nasty habit of reprinting old books with new covers - thus giving the
impression that the book is new - or combining several old Ospreys into one,
larger so-called 'new' one. I mailed Stephen Turnbull twice via his web page
address for more information, but he hasn't bothered to reply!
Thanks for the update
Michael
