As you can see from the following press release we are being joined in the Osprey bunker by Angry Robot Books, the cutting-edge Science Fiction imprint, sitting alongside us and Shire Books.
Now there are going to be a few of you who will be wondering what the hell we are doing but it is all very simple. We at Osprey/Shire/Angry Robot (we are going to need a group name) are all about publishing for specialists, whether your specialism is Panzer variants, timber-framed buildings or zombie novels. We want to publish books (and not just books these days) for people who are enthusiastic, knowledgable and passionate about their interest whatever it is.

As I promised here, every month we are going to announce what books have been re-printed and have been brought back into print and are once again available to buy online. The Production team here have been working their socks off to get a very sizeable chuck of our books back in stock - 40 titles this month - and nearly 80 titles due in for next month!

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

We recently had a hit-list meeting here at Osprey where Editorial, Marketing, Sales and anyone who knows anything about anything sit down and talk through future titles. We take a look at submissions from Authors both old and new, ideas from all our Editors, feedback from shows and bookshops, the results of the monthly poll and then we sit down and start bickering (amicably)...

In the course of this discussion I mentioned that we had invited a distinguished military historian to write a short article making the case for military history...

As a military history enthusiast it is your duty to spread your love of uniforms, campaigns and hardware as far as you can. Your grown-up non-warfare obsessed friends are probably far too used to you now. When you start talking about the importance of Basil Liddell Hart to German tank strategy and tactics they probably roll their eyes and head for the bar...
