The masive "Battle of France Then and Now", a book known for thoroughness, has 592 pages and over 900 illustrations. To be frank, I seriously suspect that AMC has not read the book through and/or compared the amount of text to the amount of illustrations by actually doing any math.

I really don’t know where you are going with all this picture counting verses text logic!, let’s keep it simple!
Anyone opening the book will see it as pictorial in content.
I have the book, it is at best a pictorial “history” and I really don’t see what other books and their merits have to do with it?
