I've just heard about this on the BFFS forum, it isn't published yet but looks interesting.

If she's like mine Dennis no amount of explaining works..... in fact it's best not to say anything at all and just pray you get to the post first.

Roger & Dennis,

As far as wives and hobby spending go...

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.
Of coarse, eventually you'll get neither... but that's the sacrifice for art.

Cheers

Dennis, what do you need a book for? Dont you still have the photographs you took at the time when you were in Wellingtons mob or would you have left by 1751?
Sounds like a good book though, strangely you can never get too many.

I think I've reached that point. I'll find out when the book arrives.

Thanks for the tip, Roger! I'll queue this up in my wish list, right after the 2-volume set on Frederick the Great's army, Militaer-Verlag, I think it is. Of course, this one comes in at a lower price than the Prussian books, so, hmm....

Your welcome Brad.

Yes, Thanks Mr. Turpin, or rather, Turnip, for this heads up. Like everyone else who has his two earlier books, I found pre-ordering this a no-brainer.
For those who have wives and feel that they need their consent to buy a book, the following strategy may help. I long ago traded in my wife for a yellow lab, and when I want permission to buy a book, I simply ask him to wag his tail if he agrees. I then offer hima treat, he wags his tail, and I am up and running. Hope that helps!
