RS Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Great new book out on the Catalan Dragons which I have read called Continental Lights which is essentially the Catalans Dragons History. Fairly rare in that it is a French RL book written in English. I do believe the author is one of more respected contributors on this forum.

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 RS, I cannot spot it on the Dragons' online shop. Any idea where and how I could buy a copy? Also, does it have the author's name on it, and if so, who is it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowdesert Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He's done a good job writing about it. Anything to improve the knowledge of the game in France is good. I hope there is a French version. The majority of French don't know the history of RL in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonfan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Get it onto Kindle! It amazes me what gets published on there and this book is probably ten times better. I'm saying this because I have so many books and not much space. As a result I am throwing away as many books as possible and not buying any new ones except on kindle unless I absolutely have to do.

I'm saying this because I have so many books and not much space. As a result I am throwing away as many books as possible and not buying any new ones except on kindle unless I absolutely have to do. I completely agree with this. I also have limited shelf space and, while I like traditional paper books, I have to ration myself to just those titles that are not available on Kindle. It also puts your work in a massive potential marketplace, with no distribution costs. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

According to the description the seller is selling 'some' for the author so I assume he has more than one copy. Many happy returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
