GDG- A Heads Up

[zfry at kent.edu]

<<I just ran across mention of a new book to be published this October by  
Stackpole Books:  "The Gettysburg Companion" by Mark Adkin.  Although 
Adkin is 
not a Gettysburg scholar, I am familiar with a few other books by him,  
including "The Waterloo Companion" and "The Trafalgar Companion".  If
the  Gettysburg 
book is like those earlier two, we can expect a first-class  production, a 
very big book filled with facts and highly informative  illustrations.

This is terrific news.  I have used "The Waterloo Companion" almost to
the point of its disintegration, photocopying from it extensively in
preparation for my trip overseas in September to see the "morne plaine."
 I agree - if his Gettysburg volume is anything like that Waterloo
bible, we may have to clear a space near the front of our bookshelves.
