The post is erratic, but U.K. and European and U.K. orders are arriving in a timely fashion, even stuff to the U.S.

AN UNIFORME ORDER AND DISCIPLINE AMONGST US, VOl 1) MAKE READY: TRAINING IN ARMS HANDLING 1590-1650 is with us, Profusely illustrated, it includes the complete set of plates and translations for EXERCISE OF ARMES and LE MARESCHAL DE BATAIILE, the French 1647 manual. A must for any ECW re-enactor to drool over on Boxing day!

Also arriving this weekend in a limited quantity is James Arnold's OCTOBER TRIUMPH, his study of Jena.
