Dave,
I only saw it on ebay. I don't have it, but 6 volumus are more than ONE (even if the one you have is quite fat book). Tal

These books have fewer people detailed than the all-inclusive red one volume set, but they go into greater detail with a two to four page article on an individual. If I remember correctly, I think the entire series covers 1/6 of all the full cavaliers.

6-volume set was published in 1963 and there were additional Glory Cavaliers in the 1970s.
Therefore the older edition can't include complete list. William |

The Real Story
To all:
F.Y.I. The complete set is comprised of seven volumes - with the last volume published in 1988. All told, the seven-volume set contains just over 900 biographies which range in length from one to three pages. The quality of the write ups in the later volumes is superior to that found in the first few. Regards, slava1stclass |
