Command is in the house!
March 10, 2010 12:00 AM
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.
It is probably the most exciting event in the Osprey calendar, the day when the first books of a new series arrive. It is the day that the work of so many people is finally rewarded with a physical product.
With my trusty camera-phone, I was able to nab a shot of many of the main culprits nervously flipping pages, praying they don’t find any mistakes (none reported!).
From left to right: Tom, the in-house editor on the project, Julian, our design manager who created the cover design and interior layouts; Marcus from Ilios Publishing, the series editor; Kate, our Editorial Manager who oversees all new series, and Aurelie who handles the production tasks for Command.
A big thank you to all of these guys for making this new series happen. The first two titles: Napoleon Bonapate and Erich von Manstein are due out in May and can be pre-ordered on the website now.

So that is what Marcus and Kate look like. I have worked with both for most of this decade, but only via e-mail, overnight services, or occasionally as a disembodied voice over a telephone.

I would like to apologise to all our readers for inflicting this photo on you. Please look at the fantastic books instead.

Not fair! We haven't gotten copies yet in the US! Can't wait. Will spare you all a picture of me and John looking at them though...
Also, Julian is wearing a great shirt from a particularly stylish Secret Santa.

64 pp. (i.e. cursory at best) and 8 GBP+, if not 10 GBP+, even at English Glamazon.
I think I'll skip this.

They look and sound good to me.
