A book called "Highlander"
No, its not about the movie.
Highlander: The History of the Legendary Highland Soldier by Tim Newark
I found it on the British history shelves in Borders and Books a Million, I haven't picked it up for purchase yet. Has anyone read this or heard of it's accuracy? I'd like to know before I spend $25 on it.

I read about the author, Tim Newark, he seems to do alot of history books and has gotten alot of positive reviews. Next time I'm at the store, I'll see if I can buy it.

I would never buy a book or dvd/blu ray from Border's due to their prices.
I buy from Amazon almost exclusively.

I'm considering Amazon now as the borders I use to go to and hang out at is closing in a few days.

Amazon resellers are the way to go. I've bought most of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series for about a buck a book, plus $3.99 shipping.
