I have to say again that the download is a great freebie! I was astonished to find that this "extract" runs to a whopping 306 pages! If this is merely a part of the book, I wondered, how big is the whole volume? Well, according to Amazon.co.uk the whole book runs to only 317 pages and the gazetteer only takes up 4 of them! This is not simply a mistake in their description by Amazon, their webpage actually reproduces huge chunks of the book and if you scroll through to the end you can see the number of the last page is 317. In addition, Amazon's version has only 1 appendix whereas the download has 5 appendices. A quick flick through both suggests they may have a lot of photographs in common.
It looks like this free download is not an extract from the book at all, it is a separate work which stands alone and makes an excellent companion to "Great Crowns of Stone".
I posted a quick review on amazon.co.uk to let people know that if you purchase the book you should go to the free download to get this companion work. And if you don't feel like purchasing but would like to have a comprehensive guide to RSC's you should go for the free download anyway!
Well done to RCAHMS for making their invaluable records available in this useful form!
