The long heralded and seldom seen catalog of Taurus Ltd actually does exist. It is 8 1/2"x11" and 52 pages long. The "full color" consists of a 4-page Avalon Hill brochure inserted among the other pages. The rest is printed in black on grey paper. In addition to their own games they advertise practically everybody elses, though I know for a fact that they do not in fact carry all the games they list. I know this because they list the IRONCLAD and GROSSTAKTIK booklets that we publish, and the Gamma Two Games, for which we are the exclusive US distributor and we have not sold ANY of these items to Taurus Ltd! They have not even approached us about the possibility of purchasing these items. There is no use, therefore, in listing the other games they advertise, as they may not really have them, either. All the games except Taurus' own are available elsewhere and you'd probably be wise to get them elsewhere. Book Review
