I love books on artillery. I fully expected to get a book that had a history of U.S. artillery from--as the title says--The Spanish/American War to Present. What I got was an awful book with lousy production values that centered on a hodgepodge of photos about U.S. artilleryman UNIFORMS. Brother. The first couple of pages are color, and then the book descends into a morass of black-and-white photos. Now I know that a lot of (pre-color film) photos were created in B&W, but some are conversions from color to B&W...and very, very poorly done, at that. They're muddy; haven't been corrected at all, and the screening they did in production is abysmal. A real disappointment.
