neither!   These two I've never heard of nor seen.   More recursive
bootlegging perhaps?

Yep this is the copy I've got (both my own and this spare version).
Most entertaining, if somewhat irritating to an archaeologist mindset
since they've got all these bronze-age folk wandering around dressed in
nowt more'n bearskins wrapped round them while, in fact, bronze-age
leather gear was considerably superior-made than that.   In fact, in
retrospect, all those folk in leather jackets, and trousers doing
bronze-age type things around Stonehenge at the height of its use
probably didn't look significantly differently clothed from the
bikers that used to celebrate there about four and a half thousand
years later!!
