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).
