Richard Stoneman is one of the names of excellence in the contemporary panorama on Alexander the Great and therefore is synonymous with quality and importance of the book. There is no further information for now. I have seen that on Amazon.it it can be pre-ordered at the price of 205.43 € and is freaking expensive. This will be a book that cannot be missing in my Alexander-graphy but I will wait for it to be published in a paperback edition and for it to be discounted because I want it but at this price I just can’t afford it.
When more information will come out with a precise publication date I will update the article! For now, thank you and keep following me for further updates!
