Cope's megalith books are superb pieces of work. You probably don't need to own them, though, unless you plan to find the megaliths in question; even then, you rather need the relevant Ordnance Survey map, as Cope's directions to the sites are frequently as poetically mythical as the rest of the book. If you ever do want to do a megalithic tour of the UK, though, you can borrow our copy of _The Modern Antiquarian_; we don't have the European guide yet, not having visited all the British sites yet.

Thanks for the image of you on a meathook. (You didn't mention a filthy, blood-encrusted wifebeater; I filled that part in an my own.) And oo rah for standing astride the broken colossus and chortling at its feeble attempts to fell you.
