4.0 out of 5 stars
Content good -- but disappointed,
By Guy H. Power (Moffett Field, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crusader Knight (Trade Editions) (Paperback)
I was really disappointed when I received this new offering. I would have enjoyed this book, however, it is the *EXACT SAME* as _Knight of Outremer: 1187-1344_. If you already have "Outremer," then save your money. Both books sport different titles and different cover art; but, both have the the same text and photos ... on the exact same numbered page.Buy one or the other -- really, a great book -- but do not buy both.
