    Paul,

    Stupid question moment...Is it any good? Any chance of a selection of pictures from inside?

    I think that would be pushing copyright issues a bit too far.

    They are very much like a normal Osprey campaign, but in hardback.

    Popped back into town this AM & got the Poland 1939 one for £1.99, good value seeeing as I was going to buy it a few months ago for a tenner or more.
    Glad I waited.
    Next issue has France 1940 with Norway 1940 too, so good value 2 forr 1 offer there.

    Given what their back catalogue is, I bet it will be 50+.

    No indication of how many as yet.
