I saw the thread about how many total Osprey books do you own. I have a small collection of the hardback editions, and pick them up at the discount book stores whenever I see them. At this point I have 10.

None. In fact, since they started offering PDF versions, that is what I usually buy.

They do hardbacks?

None of the hardbacks but I do have

1937 of the soft back versions in my gaming room :-)

I think I've got one or two; it's not something I've really given any though to.

None – I sometimes wonder who buys them and why….

martin goddard Sponsoring Member of TMP26 Aug 2015 10:33 a.m. PST

In the UK public libraries often bought hard backs. Thus they often became on sale when withdrawn or stolen!

I have 6…only bought them when the price was cheaper…plus the hardbacks are typically those combination books w/several regular books in one.

Ed: The hard cover books are usually a combination of three or four of the soft back books, and sell for $8.00 USD to $10.00 USD. The "Warriors of Medieval Japan" sparked my interest in Sohei, my warrior monk army at the present has about 110 figures from, I think, six different figure companies.

4 or 5. I should check my library.
And many more softback, around 300.

Not sure, but I'd guess about 150?

Scott MacPhee26 Aug 2015 5:49 p.m. PST

30-40, I would guess. Softcover are about 5 times that.

One, which I've been trying to sell. I suspect I'll have to pay someone to take it away.

About six. A few more that are pretty thick books, but don't happen to be hardback- seems like they ought to be.

None.

I have a number of the small ones, but no hardcover.
