I just got one in the mail this weekend as an CHRISTmas present from my son.  It is great.  Anyone who reads this board would like it.

I have a copy of this book and the other book by the same author covering cannon from 1600 to 1800.  They are okay but for the price I wasn't too impressed with either one of them.  The text is a bit thin when it comes to details about the cannon themselves and there is alot of repetition of photographs.  You may want to see these books before you decide to buy them.

Anyone have "The Artillery of the Dukes of Burgundy 1363 - 1477"? It's supposed to be a newly printed book. Looks to be interesting based on descriptions...but a first-hand account is always better! It's in the $60 range.
