Some are still listed at Caliver Books: caliverbooks.com/index.php And On Military Matters has a few more: link OMM is also listed as publisher so they may have the present rights to all of them. |

Thank you both Tricorne1971 and Camcleod. But Tricorne1971 nothing about the Prussians and Austrians ? It's weird and strange… Any help to find N°5,6,10 and 11 is accepted, thank you. |

There seem to have been two series, one on uniforms, the other on flags and standards. The book on Jacobite flags seems to be No10 of the flags series. No 5 of the army series appears to have been the Prussians. Mollinary |

Yes me too I think that the problem is that these were published twice and with different titles. I think that they are actually two different sets, certainly the titles suggest they are. One set is called ‘Colours and Standards' of the WAS and the other WAS, ‘Uniforms of the ??? Army' So for example we have – N0.5 Colours and Standards and with a different ISBN No.5 uniforms So I think it is likely that there were 2 sets of booklets. ‘Colours and Standards' 1 to 10 I think and ‘Uniforms' 1 to 12. The same number book is about the same army. The No.5 is the Prussians The No.6 is the Austrians No.12 in the Uniforms set is about the Navy. I do not know about number 11 Uniforms. I originally thought there was a ‘wargames guide' to the war – general information about the war – so maybe there was and this was ‘Uniforms' number 11. So in short I think there are 22 booklets and not 24. 2 on each of 10 armies/groups of armies and 2 on general warfare. Later |

It would be very useful if someone could confirm if OMM has the rights to them now… it would be great to have the whole range in print – even print on demand or some such. |

Yes we can always dream ! |

If it's the final list, bravo!But it's missing 2! |
| Stephen RA | 11 Jul 2017 9:03 a.m. PST |
Hi gents, as author of these 2 series of booklets it's gratifying that interest in them persists 27 years after I started publishing them. Gisbygeo's list is substantially correct. Many of these booklets are still available directly from me as POD copies. Feel free to email me at stephen.manley.unison@gmail.com for more details. Best wishes, STEPHEN MANLEY |

Many thanks,
