Good choice- I have a copy of the Cowpens book but have not got the Guilford Courthouse one.

Re: 10 Desert Island Books
After watching the BBC's drama War and Peace (1970s version) I wanted to refight Borodino so started collecting more Airfix French to paint up the Russians. At the same time I bought this wonderful book from Shepards of Gateshead.

For me, that is pretty much the problem.Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 7:26 pm People tend to forget that dice have no memory. Each time you roll it, it's still the exact same odds as last time..

Re: 10 Desert Island Books
Here’s my number one -
I love this book, I got it Somewhere between age 12 - 14 and is probably my most reread book - as you can tell by the tatters.
And the page photo I used to stare at repeatedly and is definitely to blame for me being in this hobby.
I definitely used to invest so much more time in a single thing such as this book or a magazine article, etc. We have so much to look at now.
