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.
 
"The Waterloo Companion" is one of the very few heavily-illustrated history  
books where the illustrations -- photographs and superbly detailed terrain 
maps  -- are of real use and importance, and not just pretty pictures (the  
illustrations in "The Trafalgar Companion", for understandable reasons, rely  more 
heavily on paintings and drawings than on photographs and small-scale  terrain 
maps).
