Has  anyone seen this, or any reviews:

2. Glatthaar, Joseph.  GENERAL LEE'S ARMY: FROM VICTORY TO COLLAPSE. 
NY, 2008. 600 pp.; M,  Absolutely recommended!!!, 1st
ed; dj; maps; illus; photo; Based on a  statistical analysis of army 
personnel & on an unprecedented number of  soldier letters, this book
ranks with Freeman's Lee's Lieutenants &  Alexanders Fighting for the 
Confederacy as an indispensible source on the  ANV....$35.00

600 pages for $35 - I'm concerned its just a bunch of  tables & such.
 
I've seen it in the bookstore and spent several minutes looking through  it.  
I certainly wouldn't characterize it as being just a bunch of tables  and 
such.  The book was mostly in narrative form.  If I was anything  of a student of 
the ANV, I would have bought it (and if it were an equivalent  book about the 
AOP, I certainly would have bought it).
