Review
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Lack of color printsBy Amin IbrahimWhile the book is well written and very informative; it is sorely lacking in color plates. Color plates are essential in a book dealing with uniforms. Black and white pictures just don't cut it for uniform descriptions. There are only about 5 or six color plates in the entire thing.Amin
