|post =Paul, I don't know who he is but he seems to have a lot of memorabilia in his collection just by looking at the background but I guess that doesn't automatically make someone an expert. I reckon he collects all sorts but he has got a couple of nice Border Regiment books I'd like, that's for sure. |

Such book reviews should really be informative and sadly this guy doesn't do a great job in providing the 'specifics' and 'detail' of a book that someone might use his videos to find out more about it. But, I guess, the basics are a starting point and better than nothing at all. I still found it interesting. |

Just found this on youtube regarding the above titled book: Tried and Valiant, by Douglas Sutherland.
I don't agree with a couple of things he says between 3:25 and 3:40.....a bit cheeky really but you get the general idea. This is a GREAT Border Regiment book that I heartily recommend to anyone who does not yet own it!

Hi Chris, Who is this guy - is he a book dealer?
I reckon the average price for the book should be about £8. Don't be fooled by being told that it is a "first edition" to inflate the price. I don't believe that there ever were any further editions printed.
I does give a decent general outline of the regiment, but not a lot of detail.
I think that he is wrong in saying it is addressed to "Mayor" - I reckon that should be "Major"?
Do you think that this is a case of "someone with a little knowledge ....."? |
