On the basis of the illustrations alone, this book is an important document of the period. Assembled from many sources unavailable to most, I'm unaware of any other book that has such broad compilation of visual information.

I believe this book is destined to be an important, definitive source for otherwise unobtainable information - an instant classic. I'm very grateful for the efforts of the author in so successfully undertaking what must have been a monumental task.

Robert, thank you very much for your words. I hope that the text of the book will not disappoint you either.
