The myriad details of the uniforms worn by the British Army during the last three centuries can be the subject of a lifetime's study, both in the intrinsic fascination arising from their history and in their complexity. It is a study which can be pursued through a large number of books of reference, works of art, and collections of uniforms in military museums. This book offers the fruits of such a study in a unique, accessible form. The lover of military tradition will be able to trace the development of the dress of the British soldier over the years. The military modeller will have at his disposal a valuable aid which, with its illustrations and colour charts, will enable him to determine the details of any regular regiment at any period.

Aunt Sally in Oxford, Toad in the Hole in Lewes, bagatelle in Chester, quoits in Darlington and bat and trap in Kent - they sound like relics of a bygone age, and yet contrary to popular belief, the pub games of Britain live on. Traditional games such as nipsy (the poor man's golf), played by Barnsley miners, may have died out in the 1990s, joining in the history books such former favourites as guile bones, noddy board, slide thrust, fox-mine-host, tick-tack, and the mysterious milking cromock. But new games emerge all the time so that nowadays, regulars are just as likely to be entering pub quizzes (the first quiz league was recorded in Bootle in 1959), or playing pool (which arrived via Australia during the 1960s) or petanque (brought over from France). Fashions may move on but find any decent pub and the chances are that there are games to be played. Arthur Taylor published his first study of British pub games in 1976, updated it in 1992, and now, with Played at the Pub, brings us his third and most extensive study so far. This time, to add to his encyclopaedic knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, there are copious illustrations, many of them contemporary images taken by English Heritage's own specialist photographers.
