Has anyone seen Vol 1 yet?

To my mind, Amazon is not very precise with details.
How many pages? Is it illustrated? Lots of catchy phrases but little substance.

Who, by the way, is Richard Meredith? What has he done before? I certainly hope he is not Richard C Meredith....

He must have some good credentials since two (rather expensive) volumes are published in one year of his treatise.

Anyone with more information?

Cheers
Stig

But Amazon does tell you who the publisher is, and the publisher's website tells you that the book is "Hardback 245mm x 170mm 496 pages c 114 b/w photos, 7 maps, 10 charts."

Ah yes, that is correct Nick

Now, why didn't I think of that....
Also shows that Vol 1 has not yet been published, so I suppose Amazon is one step ahead...

I guess I have to sit down again....and relax....

Strangely, amazon is showing Volume 1 as temporarily out of stock.

Yep Ed

But I am just saying what the publisher states, and I suppose they know a bit better than Amazon....

But then again, technically I suppose Amazon is right....

Hmmmmm... Perhaps amazon has confused Volume I with Volume 2.


Or something
