I'm sorry you feel like that about the book and recommendation.
In spite of the general dismissal of the Mancetter candidacy on this forum it remains the "go to" location theory for the battlefield in academia and the media. In addition Mancetter has been subject to the most extensive archaeological investigation of all candidates. This book summarizes this position and adds new information/theories to previous documents on the site.
In addition Margaret has provided an appendix of short summaries of many of the other candidates written by the authors of those theories making the book a unique print resource in that respect as far as I am aware.
I continue to recommend this book to anyone who wants as complete an overview of the current position in print.
