    You could buy it or save yourself some cash and just look on this forum for what you want.

    You are absolutely right Grant... I can research uniforms on the web (and often do) but bought the Rousselot book on Napoleonic uniforms last weekend anyway. There's some thing concrete about having a beautiful, well made hardcover book in hand that I just don't get from a computer screen. Both mediums have their merit and neither need be ignored in favour of the other.
    Glad I could help Brian

    Cheers

    It's ok for beginners. I object the fact that almost half of it is dedicated to painting horses of different breeds. Perhaps it should be titled "figure painting oh and shed loads of horses also, by the way".

    Point taken... that is the main reason I brought that particular book, for their attention to horses, which is sometimes hard to find.
    The point I was trying to make is that although one can find just about anything one is looking for on-line... I personally enjoy having a book in hand more. Guess I'm kinda old fashioned that way. Also, any piece of information you can obtain, that you didn't have before, is priceless, no matter where it came from or who it was aimed at.

    Just an opinion

    Hi Colin,
    Apologies my friend.
    I wasn't having a dig at you mate, it was the book.
    I bought it and expected much much more from it. The numerous endless sections on horses is just so disproportionate to the actual figures and techniques I was expecting. And I will never paint a horse.
    I'm old school also and like books.

    Were there several different editions of this book? Mine has 13pp on horse painting, or about 10% of the book! :)

    Agree with Grant, had a flip through this book at Euro and although the pictures are impressive I didn't think it gave much in the way of technique or how to do, more off look what I can do book :whistle:
