Want to know what books we have reprinted this month? Well, you are in the right place, because here you go, a full list of the most recent reprints to land in our warehouse. As ever, quantities are somewhat limited (last month a number of our reprints were completely snapped up by retailers and customers within days of them arriving) so don't miss out!

You may have gathered from previous posts a bit of the process that a suggestion goes through before it becomes an Osprey book, and that process is about to begin again.

A few weeks ago my manuscript was delivered. The childbirth metaphor is entirely appropriate and the labour pains have kept me off blogging for a couple of months. Back in January I claimed to "have been making good progress with the writing". This was three months on from triumphantly blogging that the book had been formally contracted. Back in February 2008, now feeling like a lifetime ago, my first post on the subject was grandly titled "How to write an Osprey book". As if I knew......!

Those terribly nice chaps at Titan have sent over a couple of their latest books for us to take a gander at. Both volumes celebrate in their own way gentler, kinder times where neither Guitar Hero or Call of Duty existed, where social networking was something that happened in a pub and Jordan was better known as a country in the Middle East.

As you may have noticed we got very involved recently in putting together the Military History Weekend in Colonial Williamsburg over the weekend of 17/18 October. I had a fantastic time and just wanted to mention a few of the people I was lucky enough to meet and show you a few photos.

Some interesting archaeological research was published in April last year that located the area of marshy ground which, according to contemporary sources, significantly shaped the battle that brought the reign of Richard III, the Plantagenet era and the Wars of the Roses to an end. The new evidence strongly suggested that the main fighting was done some distance to the south of the area generally identified as Bosworth Field. Further investigation and significant finds of artillery shot have now confirmed this interpretation.

Looking for something to do in a cold November rain? The Virginia War Museum, located in Newport News, will be celebrating the opening of a new exhibit, Turned Upside Down: The 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

Over the weekend, the 30% discount that we were running on the site switched itself off prematurely. I blame some feisty trick or treaters personally - but I know that it caused quite a few of you some problems. To rectify this I have turned the discount back on again, and it will run from today through to Wednesday evening, which will hopefully give anyone who missed out on the offer the chance to buy the books that they are after.

Just before I went off to Virginia for the Military History Weekend I was lucky enough to go to a reception at Apsley House, the London residence of the Duke of Wellington, laid on by Waterloo 200.
