Dropped black plate?3
I have all the books in this wonderful series, but this installment seems to have printing problems with ten pages of uniform illustrations (all among the Austrian forces). The black plate didn't print, so that the uniforms have large areas of a pale bluish gray where the black should have been. Since the plates are a large reason why I collect these books, this is actually a big deal. I'll give it 3 stars just for being available, but I found the problems to be a major disappointment.

C'mon... this is one of the best uniform books around!5
There is only one plate in a hundred with a printing (slight) problem...

So, now you can see the Prussians were not dressed as the prussians at Waterloo!... neither the French Hussars looked the same...

Would you wargame the ACW with a UNION army dressed in Mexican War UNIFORMS?

GET TO GRIPS WITH REALITY BOYS (AND GIRLS WITH HEART IN RIGHT PLACE!) THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER PRICE/QUALITY UNIFORM BOOKS AROUND!

C'mon... one of the best books on uniforms of the campaign around!5
The whole collection is indispensable for a wargamer of the napoleonic period.
It is true some of the (hundreds) of full colour illustrations of uniforms have an small printing fault... BUT... it not detracts a iota of the value... maybe those books would be colled¡ctable in the future as rare stamps are!
I wish I had it when painting my wargames figures long ago.
