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.

Recently, I became a member of a very select, very elite club within the hallowed halls of Osprey (it's like the Illuminati, but with more tanks...)

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.

This weekend a friend me sent a link to a couple of really interesting articles on the blog Weaponized Culture. It is an interesting blog, and worth a browse – but what really caught my eye was one of the links that appeared in this article.

I stumbled across this blog the other day (actually someone posted it on the Osprey Facebook page) and thought I would share it with you. It is an amazing story of ingenuity and I particularly found the pictures of a desolate landscape poignant. An earlier entry provides some more background information...

A visit to the Vimy Ridge Memorial on the Somme as well as to a small private memorial over-looking some of the major battlefields.

A visit to Delville Wood on the Western Front where the 1st South African Infantry Brigade were involved in some of the heaviest fighting on the Somme.
