Awesome

I just really enjoyed the idea of this article. Not the book; it sounds quite bizarre that it made it to print. But the fact that such a detailed article was written about this, fully describing the controversy (for lack of a better word), the various errors as well as the standard summary...love your work, Frabby. Sincerely.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 16:23, 5 September 2013 (PDT)

Thanks for the flowers! It's coverage of these odd BattleTech items that makes Sarna shine imho, so covering them here is one of my key interests. I wasn't aware of the existence of this book myself until I found a copy for mere two Euros listed in a second-hand bookstore's ebay sales. I've seen three more copies pop up since, with the price going up to a whooping 36 Euros for the last one sold around half a year ago - it seems to have become something of a collector's item, which I attribute to Sarna.
As for how this book could ever make it to print, Machtwortverlag apparently amounts to self-publishing, judging from their profile. I have clarified that in the article. Frabby (talk) 00:40, 6 September 2013 (PDT)

Honestly? Yes. I reckon Sarna is the to-go adress for BattleTech lore now. And for this queer kind of stuff the article seems to be the only english-language coverage when googling. Frabby (talk) 02:48, 7 September 2013 (PDT)
