paulgranger Posted 14 October , 2014 Share Posted 14 October , 2014 Just been browsing Pen & Swords website, and I see that they are reissuing this memoir towards the end of November, which is welcome news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel9 Posted 14 October , 2014 Share Posted 14 October , 2014 Certainly is. I'm lucky enough to have an original in very good condition. Cracking read and looks great on the bookshelf. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul bardell Posted 14 October , 2014 Share Posted 14 October , 2014 Paul Good news indeed, i have this in paper back - its a very big book - do you know if the p and s issue will be hard back? I do prefer hard back if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgranger Posted 14 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 14 October , 2014 Judging by the price being quoted,it will be hardback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Maria Posted 15 October , 2014 Share Posted 15 October , 2014 Yes it is hardback, when I first saw that it was to be reprinted I had assumed it was already quite a common book ,knowing that Cassell had reprinted it several years ago in hardback and that it was also reprinted in 1968 by Eyre & Spottiswoode, but looking at ABE and Amazon today it appears that it is quite scarce unless you want to spend hundreds on a paperback copy !.

paulgranger Posted 15 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 15 October , 2014 I have been looking on ABE for a copy, but as you say, somewhat pricey, so three cheers for Pen & Sword. They are also reissuing Cyril Falls 'History of the First World War' which you can get for reasonable second-hand prices, but a shiny new copy might be nice.

Dust Jacket Collector Posted 15 October , 2014 Share Posted 15 October , 2014 I've just checked on ABE and there are several copies of the original, sans jacket, for £30 to £40. Those may be preferable to the new reprint as I doubt they'll provide the splendid fold out colour maps that came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmroberts Posted 15 October , 2014 Share Posted 15 October , 2014 That last post drove me to the bookcase, and my copy, not handled for some time is of the second edition, which sadly lacks the fold out maps. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great condition and the maps are splendid alright. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
