For the last couple of months we have been talking about the imminent arrival of a fabulous, limited edition version of the Men-at-Arms Celebration.
And it has now arrived. Only 40 copies of this fantastic book have been produced. Each book is bound in goat leather, with 23 carat gold embossing. Signed and numbered by the Men-at-Arms editor Martin Windrow, this is the most exclusive Osprey book ever.

Here at Osprey HQ we have just had John, our US Sales and Marketing Director, over for a week. This generally means a chance for us not only to have a catch-up but also an opportunity to brainstorm future titles and plan our publishing programme for the next couple of years.
As you know Osprey is 40 years young this year and this August we published our 450th Men-at-Arms title. In honour of these two milestones I thought I would ask you, our readers, to join in our brainstorming session and help us decide what Men-at-Arms titles you would like to see published.

At 11am today the Osprey office will observe a two minute silence to mark Remembrance Day. This year, the respect paid to the men and women who have given their lives for their country is made even more poignant by the fact that today is the 90th anniversary of the end of The First World War.
Please join us in honouring the fallen.

Word is starting to leak out into the internet about the Osprey Quiz, and the reaction seems pretty consistent. It’s hard!

Despite the warnings of doomsayers, the success last year of The Dangerous Book for Boys, proved that masculine pursuits such as learning to sail and climbing trees are alive and well in the Western World. As readers of this blog will of course know, for generations of boys toy soldiers and playing Cowboys and Indians were the hallmarks of a healthy childhood. After Vietnam, war seemingly became a dirty word. Or did it? The “Star Wars” saga is after all the most popular entertainment of all time.

Nearly a month ago Osprey shipped me out to my first overseas event - A Weekend of Heroes 2008, which was held in Glendale California on the 21st and 22nd June. Now, I tend to go to most of the Osprey events in the UK - and have done over the last couple of years. I have already clocked up appearances at Salute and Who do you think you are? Live! and I am booked in to visit Military Odyssey and possibly Euro Mil this summer, so I am not new to doing events, but this was a bit of a departure for Osprey, and I was a bit nervous about the reception we were going to get.

Those of you who have been to Historicon for the past three years will already have a t-shirt with Osprey artwork sitting in their drawer for very special occasion. But for those of you who haven’t we have been talking to Legacy of Valor, the collectibles people, about a new special clothing line. They have sent over some samples which several people in the office got very excited over...

Recently, with one of my typical flights of fancy, I started to ponder on some of the military sayings and quotes that have achieved fame throughout history. My personal favourites are:
"The sun will never set on the British Empire – God does not trust the English in the dark" – Anon
