Well at least I know what I will be doing thanksgiving weekend.
(here in the states) I have the original demo that I have been fiddling with ,
and I am really looking forward to this release , so I have been doing some
reading..........trying to get up to speed.

The Devil’s Birthday by Geoffrey Powell
and
A Bridge Too Far by Cornelius Ryan

Any others that I should be reading to set the stage , as it were.

Yep. Our Reading list from RDOA is pretty extensive. By far the best are:

Martin Middlebroook's "Arnhem 1944 - The Airborne Battle" Penguin London 1994
Robert Kershaw's "It Never Snows in September" Hippocrene NY 1990
P Harclerode "Arnhem: A Tragedy of Errors" Arms and Armour London 1994

plus a swag of other personal accounts by various participants.

The Battlefield Europe series is also good.

P.J. Harvey's "Arnhem" is also pretty good.

Operation Market Garden, Then and Now (736 pages, 2300+ photo's) is imo one of the best books about Market Garden.

It's pretty expensive priced at around 130 euro/ 70 English pounds, but it contains bassically all photo's made during the Operation.
