Back in Action

I'm finishing up the last bit of research and fitting it into the body on the book.  I'm still waiting on some books I ordered from Poland on artillery of the period.  The great thing about the internet.  In the ye olde days before the internet (sometime before we invented time) you used to have to go to Books-In-Print, look up a book, hope it was still in print and ask your bookseller to order.  A week or two later you may get an answer.  For foreign books, I used to go to foreign language bookstores in NYC, buy something and then write to the publisher.  That was when international postage coupons and money orders rules the day.

I was also lucky in that I had access to NYC public library and the University of Illinois Library at different times and could get access to books and documents fairly easily.  This is were I first ran across Michael Stachowicz and I started collecting information on the Polish army of the 18th century.  Slowly, but surely I get around to things.
