@penswordbooks And that's merely the end of one shelf! A substantial amount of my library - Napoloenic to the Great War in the main - is from your good selves! You keep printing and I'll keep buying!
@MattTay74784525@penswordbooks@GraemeCallister Awesome! I look forward to being as fascinated and impressed as I was with the revelatory Black Redcoats which still occupies a prized place in my Napoleonic library...
