That's a good choice Nigel. BTW, you continue to eviscerate the resale value of my collection of books on the 18th century with your reprints. Oh well, all in a good cause.  |

I agree with DAF that this is a great choice. Any SYW fan, or any fan of uniforms in general, should own it. Unfortunately, I won't be buying a copy since I already have one, but I'm glad to see this,anyway. |

How about redoing Duffy "The Wild Goose and the Eagle" at some stage in the future. I had some problems getting this one a few years back and had to get the German edition first. |

Duffy's "Russia's Military Way to the West" would be another good candidate for a reprint. |
| clibinarium | 28 Aug 2009 9:07 a.m. PST |
Seconded on "Russia's Military Way to the West". |

Nigil stated some more subscribers would help this effort. If you have any friends who might be interested now's the time to point them to 18th Century Press. Thanks. |

For de Ligne -- What is "The Hanoverian Army" about? Military history, organization, or uniforms? Does it include the Hessians and other German allies, and the British contingents? Would it be possible to post the table of contents on your website? Thanks! |

PS
The Pengel & Hurt book covering the Hanoverians is based mostly on this book. |
