Dear Bertil;
to which of Peter Heather's books on the Goths do you refer? You 
know there are three of them:

Peter Heather and John Matthews, The Goths in the Fourth 
Century. Liverpool 1991

Peter Heather, Goths and Romans. 332-489. Oxford, Clarendon 
Press 1991, 378 pages

Peter Heather, The Goths. Oxford, Malden, Blackwell Publishers, 
358 pages

The first one is a paperback and mostly a bilingual edition of the 
relevant sources for the fourth century, but both of the two others 
are taken very seriously by the scientific community. I have my 
own discussions with my friend Peter Heather and see some 
points different from him, but I would advise that you write two 
books of more than threehundred pages and place them with two 
international renowned scientific publishing firms like Clarendon 
Press and Blackwell, before you belittle Peter Heather.
