$117 is a little pricey! It will be interesting to hear what you think after you see it.

117 isn't alot really. When i did my CD on th e1907 i spent the best part of 4months 12 hours a day working on it, traveling getting pictures, putting it together etc. I self published but got 100 disks proffesionally done and jackets printed. I sold them at 30 each (except to contributors) and when i sell the last one I think i made about 0.5cents per hour It costs a lot of money to get a quality printing job done on even a small run, to make enough to bring th eprice to a level that people will pay you have to print a large number 1000+ and pay up front normally. I cannot imagine many people making a living on writing our books, at least at much over minimum wage. Janes which is printed every year and is a quarenteed buy by most government agencies etc, (probably severla 1000's) costs over 500 at my last look. If the book saves you buying one fake, you can get a return of 3 or 4 times your outlay.

I got the book today, stopped in loo on the way and leafed through it, stopped looking when I went numb! there is that much in it. Book looks to be very very in depth into the Krag
, it is full of reproductions of original letters, documents and period photographs. It does not just show the blade, but all its variations, scabbards, frogs, etc. Definitly a book to have if you collect the Krag, and a very nice addition to the library, i shall look forward to many hours of reading.
