      @Geo:

      the belgians even get a mention

      Last line?.. 'To conclude: the Belgians are the best of all €uros. Especially the bald ones.'

        last line exempting notes, appendices etc is Tremulae sinuantur flamine vestes

        the belgians were (foot)noted merely as being named after a tribe of goths

              few years back.  thought it was very well done.

              I'm just surprised someone is as big of a geek as me.

                    EUROPE: Glad to know it's do-able, been on my shelf for years, with another of his, about WWII. Meawhile, I've been reading some true adventure books, not that history isn't, one being GODFORSAKEN SEA by Derek Lundy, about a round-the-world one-man sailing race. With Giles's friend Ian's continuing onslaught of the seas, thought it may be of interest, then along comes this list today from the BY&N Review page: http://tinyurl.com/4y6r8cj

                                            i would have to sent something back. Probably cost as much as the book itself
