Reprints from India

I have always been a bit doubtful about the numerous reprints that are available from India. But I have to say this very scarce catalogue of the Military Exhibition at Earls Court is very well done. It was so cheap and post free from Delhi I thought I would give it a go. The content, mostly not AZW, is fascinating. How about a 1 metre square compressed vegetable stock cube from Knorr sufficient to feed 35,000!

PS The colour shot is from the web - book is in black and white.

That's what attracted me to the catalogue in the first instance. I will probably rebind it and incorporate the colour cover.

Here is another interesting entry for the Royal Artillery Institution Woolwich. I don't know if the table survives.
