Re: Bishop & Coulston RME available! - tlclark - 04-26-2006
Hey everyone,
Trying to buy the book on the American David Brown Books site.
How do I take advantage of the RAT discount?
They're saying $32 US for the paperback without discount.
With the 10% discount that's very reasonable. It's either that or put a request in with acquisitions at the Paley library at Temple.
Which means of course that I will be waiting two years for them to get it.
Thanks,
Travis

Aaargh, I just received the list of possible payment methods, and it says I'll have to add 12 Pounds (sic!) for a bank to bank transfer to Britain! :evil:
This is almost half the price (including shipping costs) for the paperback version (24,80 Pounds).
A credit card (VISA, Mastercard or Am.Exp.) would be cheapest, but I don't have one!
Is there anybody in Britain who could pay my bill and send me the book, provided I send him/her the money by snail-mail first?
(Andrew, Paul ?)
Any support would be much appreciated

Hi Florian,
I know that if you wire the money using their IBAN and BIC numbers it should be free. This is only since January 2006 so a lot of people in England don't know this yet and keep charging money for bank fees.
Kind regards,

This bible is very reasonably priced and has much more current info.
I understand that much in the "famous" one is out of date.
Yes,watch out for those Templars. Especially Simon-he's no Saint.
Just ordered my copy,too.
Thanks everyone for sharing this.
With these flying off the shelf, the authors should soon be
rolling in the Denarii.

Re: Bishop & Coulston RME available! - Caballo - 04-29-2006
"Me neither. Caballo or Sassanid, one of you has my book. Give it back please." No...its mine, mine, I tell you (evil laugh)...
Seriously, just finished it- excellent and indispensable work, very clearly written, and properly indexed and sourced (unlike a French author I could mention....).
Some really interesting discussion points as well- such as whether auxillaries wore lorica segmentata? The archeological evidence suggests that they may have, though definitive proof is missing... this one could run and run....
Cheers
