Blimey, he's been bitten hard by the colonial bug!

Made some very pleasant finds at Vapnartak today - Osprey MAA85 "Saxons, Viking and Norman", MAA150 "The Age of Charlemagne", MAA154 "Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars" and MAA159 "Grenada 1983". The first three should illustrate a desire to jump the Arthurian/Dark Ages Bandwagon, being the shameless early adopter, but not trendsetter that I am.

Also got a copy of Ian Heath's "Armies of the 19th Century - Asia and China" for a tenner.

Today's royal navy in colour, lots of pictures of the navy in the early nineties, I now have the urge to expand my patrol squadron with something that's a cross between the peacock class patrol vessels and world war I monitors

Doctor Who: the Visual Dictionary, because it turns out reference material can be useful for painting even when tackling fictional subjects...

Just got a copy of Rivals of the Raj by Peter Abbott, from Foundry. A fantastic read.

Dark Horse's Aliens Vs Predator Omnibus vol. 1 from the Bargain Bookstore in town. £2.99!

Also had the Indiana Jones Omnibus vol. 1, but I've read that one. Still, if its a slow week, I'll probably end up getting it...

A pre-owned copy of "Historic Dress of the Old West", written and illustrated by Ernest Lisle Reedstrom - Colour sketches with some interesting B+W phots. Published by Blanford Press.

The new Flintloque rulebook, Beir and Bones. Set in the 'Kartoffelburg' region of Valon.

Great stuff, loads of cool fluff about the Krautian Giant Legion (KGL), Confederation of Finklestein, Krautia, Ostarian Empire, Beervarians, Dwarves of the Duchy of Brewswick and a whole load of other new races.

Realy enjoying it!

Finally, finally managed to grab a copy of Widerness - True Story Simon Girty by Timothy Truman, artist behind Scout, Grimjack and many other classic comics. This one is different though, a historically accurate retelling odf the Life of Frontiersman Simon Girty. Can't wait to get home from work and start it.

Wilderness is a great story, although more has emerged about Girty since Truman penned it. If you want a more in-depth look at his life check out Simon Girty, Turncoat Hero by Phil Hoffman. It even has cover art by Truman! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Simon-Girty-Turncoat-Phillip-Hoffman/dp/0984225633/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299154459&sr=8-1

In the interest of disclosure, I corresponded with Hoffman after reading about him in the notes to Truman's book and was priveledged to be allowed to read through early drafts.
