(Monday 6/28/04) History in your game

This week, I've taken over the duty because I got a pdf that had a great bibliography in it. The book is The Quintessential Aristocrat by Martin R Thomas (Samothdm). What I liked was he used many on line sources for research, so those links are going to be provided here as well. Enjoy.

mid morning bump

Crothian rocks bump.

thanks for all the goodness Cromagthian!

Don't thank me as much as the writer, he's the one theat found all of these for his research I had the easy job of copy and paste.

Mid afternoon bump

Glad you thought the links were helpful. I spent a lot of time searching those out for different aspects of the book.

FYI, the "last update" indicates the last time I noticed that the site had been updated. If there is another date after that, that's the date of the last time I actually visited the site to see if it was still active. I finished writing the book last September, and haven't visited most of the sites since then.

Randomness of the day:

Ask Martin about how he's been to Prague.

Polite and happy evening bump

Good material here!
