Books back in stock - March 2010

Posted by Mike on March 11, 2010

In last months list of reprinted books I promised that there was another, bigger batch of books lurking just out of sight. And this behemoth of over 50 titles has just lumbered into our warehouses on both sides of the Atlantic (scaring a few of our dedicated customer service team - who are recovering in a quiet room with a nice hot cup of hot chocolate).

Command is in the house!

Posted by Joe on March 10, 2010

After more than a year and a half of planning, the first Command books arrived in the office today! I knew something was up, when a small horde of editors went charging past my desk.

Zombies attack Osprey offices: Editors arm themselves with razor sharp pieces of paper...

Posted by Mike on March 06, 2010

It is time for us to reveal the truth behind the rumour circulating around the internet. Osprey are indeed releasing a book about Zombies this October! Zombies: A Hunter's Guide is a project that a few of us in the office have been trying to get off the ground for a couple of years - an Osprey style treatment of Zombies, blending elements that are found in our Elite, Warrior and Men-at-Arms series into a Duel sized Osprey book.

Troy - why did it win the book vote?

Posted by Mike on March 04, 2010

Last month's book vote threw up a rather strange result, and caused quite a lot of chatter on our forum, and on a number of forums across the internet. Now, when I was setting up the book vote for the month I had no idea that it was going to cause such a fuss - on paper it was pretty straight forward. It had been a while since we had offered up a selection of Campaign titles to fight it out, so I trawled through nearly 300 suggestions submitted over the previous month, picking out 5 titles.

How do you misplace 200 tanks?

Posted by on March 02, 2010

It is a fair question, and one that is being asked of the Russian governement after two hundred T-72 and T-80 tanks were found abandoned in a forest.

HBO's Pacific Sources

Posted by Kerry on February 25, 2010

I promise John and I talk and think about more than just HBO's The Pacific over here in New York, despite my insistence on only posting about Pacific-related subjects. This one is slightly different, though. I'm actually wondering if any of you have read either of the source books for HBO's series: Helmet for My Pillow, by Robert Leckie, or With the Old Breed, by Eugene Sledge.

Books back in stock - February 2010 update

Posted by Mike on February 23, 2010

As ever we are working as hard as possible on bringing as many of our books back into stock as possible so here I am again with a list of books that we have brought back into stock this month. In fact, I am hoping that this is only Part 1 of the list of February titles because we have another batch of books due to arrive in our warehouses any day now - but they seem to have been delayed somewhat, I am not sure if they have run into yet more snow, or been hijacked by pirates, but they should be here soon.
