As many of you may know, this book (HIS MAJESTY'S BRITTANIC ARMY IN GERMANY DURING THE SEVEN YEARS WAR by Sir Reginald Savory) is the definitive source in English for the Western theatre of the Seven Years War.
A company called Athena Press printed 500 copies quite a few years ago when I bought my copy (£50 I think I paid) and since then the price has mounted. Please see this link to Abe Books:

I am negotiating with the copyright holder the possibility of another print run of about 250-500 numbered copies. The price is likely to be about £50 and the quality hardback is likely to be in a similar format to the ones published by Athena Press.
At this early stage I'm trying to get an idea of demand. If you are interested (and there is no commitment at this stage) could you please drop me an email at

These are hard economic times and before I embark on such an expensive project I'd need to have a very good idea of the level of interest.
Thanks,

Yes, I'd be interested.

Count me in!...Bill
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in.
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for a copy for years. If it were twice the price (hope it wouldn't be, mind!) and was the only hobby-related purchase I could make in a year, I'd still go for it- unhesitatingly.

I've added notes about this (and directing them here) to the "Emperor vs Elector" blog and the "LaceWars" Yahoo Group (since you had missed them).
ReplyDeleteI hope that this project happens.
