I got mine today, It looks good. Now I need to find time to read it.
That said, It will take a while to get used to the "feel" of it. It's somewhere between a paperback and a hard cover, and the dust jacket is the cover. Just feels odd to me. But I love the content enough to get over it.

That isn't me, of course; that's how the Getty does a lot of their books.

Mine arrived last night, and I'm on page (I think) 19. Two more pages left on the background to finish. I'm liking it so far. No huge jumps in assumptions, good historical basis, and an easy, interesting read. Great job, Ken - now to finish this and wait for the Two-Handed Sword book next.
