A bunch of them are available here http://lalegion-pictures.com/media/pdf/ as PDFs if you've never read one.

Its pretty cool for the pictures but you can only trust shit Osprey writes in relation to 1700's to more recent years.

Beyond that shit is in suspect territory. Their Premodern Asian collection is particularly shit as it took fucking memes seriously (Chinese peasant armies, Ninjas, freely admitting they can't read firsthand Japanese/Chinese sources, etc.)

>《中國古代軍戎服飾》
