Why didn't the English Army crush the colonial forces at Bunker Hill, Harlem Heights, or a dozen other places where their superior numbers and weaponry should have brought the day? The author, a direct descendant of British General John Burgoyne (who surrendered at Saratoga), details interesting English political aspects that affected the conduct of the war, including the desire senior military leaders held for reconciliation. A must for students of American or Military History

An great text about the Orthodox Church in Russia under the Communist regime. Excellent use of primary sources allows Alexander Webster to tell the whole story, pointing out key players, and specific examples.

I highly recommend this text for anyone interested in Russian, Christian, or Orthodox, history.

This book was very informative. It included several facts about Prince William. I read it strait through and enjoyed every page. All the facts stated appeared to be true, and nothing was said that would offend or upset William and his fans. I searched for a book that included a lot of information about the future king of England. I purchased several different books, but this book proved to be the most informative.

This book explores the reality of the art market. It is written clearly and, as it uses basic concepts and historical examples, it can be read by one without a background in art or economics. Professor Grampp presents a wide variety of questions and sound discussion regarding these questions. This book would be of interest to anyone associated with art from the creator, to the dealer, to the museum director. Economists interested in this topic would also find it wonderful.

Price's greatest achievement here is his ability to so seamlessly weave a complex and substantial narrative with a simple set of plot occurences. The characters are inclusive and inviting, complex and pure. Overall this is one of Price's finest works, surely to be enjoyed by anyone familiar or unfamiliar with his writing. The sights and sounds of the south come off the page and play to all of the reader's senses. An enjoyable read and experience.

SPADA is a journal that contains some of most current ideas on historical swordsmanship by a number of the field's leading researchers. As a student of historical swordsmanship myself, I think it is an excellent step in the right direction for the progression of this school of study.

As far as the contents of the book are concerned, my hat goes off to the editor, Stephen Hand, for distilling such a diverse, and yet interesting range of papers from the vast array of excellent treatises available.

The book also features some interesting reports on some of the most recent activities undertaken in the WMA community. This provides the reader with a very good 'big picture' perspective into what advances are being made in what fields, and an appreciation for the vast range of people who are now interested in historical swordsmanship.

With regards to it's practicality, the book caters for many different tastes - whether you are interested in the finesse of renaissance fencing, or simply a medieval re-enactor using the trusty 'sword and shield' method. SPADA provides useful insights and a greater understanding of historical methods of fighting.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in gaining a greater appreciation of historical swordsmanship, and anyone who is curious to know what the swordmanship community out there is doing. I rate it as a 'must have' item, and I look forward to more SPADA releases in the future.

The esteemed Mr. William Price writes a very interesting book on the Mountain States' rich folklore history. I reccomend this book to any other folklore fanatic. As I said, this book is very cool,man.

We all have those little fast food toys from McDonalds..Now you can turn those little goodies to real cash... I never realized what I had just lying around a little loved, and looking for a new home. Finally a up to date price guide from someone who does collect and well knowledged about my collection. Fast and easy to read. I carry it with me at all times for a quick reference to check a possible treasure... A must have for the serious collector..

Love this book. It has been a great help to my business (timewarptoys.com), and for my personal collecting. I wish he would do another! I highly recommend it for any child of the sixties or anyone that loves toys!
