This book is worth it's money just for it's pictures alone
David, I saw this volume whilst in Edinburgh last month but, because it deals with only 400 of the thousands of tartans, I didn't bother with it. Since then, I have read several good reviews of it and so have ordered it from Amazon, together with "Tartan, The Highland Textile" by James D. Scarlett. I expect to receive both together in late November.
