I saw it in the bookstore once... Lots of pictures, not a lot of substance, unless pictures are what you're after. :)

Try Bookfinder.com (http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&qi=hFXNdZqBVqwq9Bap,57kI9nRRNo_1590795761_1:81:231). I get some great deals there. Looks like that book might be one of them. That said, I've been having better luck through Amazon. Amazon shows this title (http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Rattle-Stuff-Soldier-Carries/dp/0760326223/sr=1-1/qid=1170615053/ref=sr_1_1/002-3264260-5048819?ie=UTF8&s=books) at about $14.00. There's one, mediocre review. However, for fourteen bucks it's probably worth buying.

I don't own it, I just looked at it at my local Barnes and Noble. I will examine it more closely tomorrow. Is their any particular info you're interested in?

Thanks for the replies. Basically I was looking for a book about personal kit and the logic behind everything carried

In that case, there are several good threads here about that subject.

I own the book and if you take my advice don't buy it.
There are quite a few pics but nothing special and the information you get on the different gear was not really news for me.
Besides the whole book can be easily mistaken for a commercial for Blackhawk.......so don't waste your money.
