Additional text
Translation: 'I cannot recommend too highly that scholars of Crusader military architecture buy this book.' Bulletin Monumental, Vol. 156, No. 2 'This is an important collection for all who are studying the Crusades, and the quality of reproduction, particularly of the illustrations, is excellent.' Palestine Exploration Quarterly 'The decision to republish nine of C. N. John’s most important contributions to the archaeology of the crusader period in the Variorum Collected Studies Series is particularly welcome...pride of place must go to the first and largest item in the collection, the Guide to ’Atlit: The Crusader Castle, Town and Surroundings. Sadly almost all the copies of the original edition were destroyed before they could be distributed, and until now it has been extremely hard to find.' Medieval Archaeology, Vol. XLII 'The importance of John's work lies in its pioneering nature, and the editors of the present book should be congratulated for their initiative in publishing it... With so much material in it, the book will become an important tool for any scholar studying the mediaeval archaeology and history of Israel and Jordan.' Israel Exploation Journal
