New Napoleonic Book (1 Viewer)

[Leadmen]

I received a hard cover book from my friend and fellow collector for my birthday. This book is on uniforms of the Napoleonic and Rev. War. I think this is a quality book which retails for about $35.00 US. Reference books don't come out that often so it is nice to see a book with uniform detail and color plates.
The title is: An Illustrated Encylopedia of Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars 1792-1815. There is also pictures of the US 1812 uniforms. All color plates.
* Detailed information on the uniforms of the Austrian, British, French, Prussian and Russian forces, with additional material on the minor forces.
* Pictorial detail with over 600 color illustrations of uniforms, historical
scenes, battle plans and campaign maps.

The authors are Digby Smith and Jeremy Black

Coincidentally came across the same book over the week end.

Looked interesting with many color plates ... and quick reference narratives of various types of infantry, calvary & artillery. Headgear and uniforms.

Can't wait to get started on the book.
