Very funny, I just clicked on the link in the first posting and saw in the catalogue that the author also authored 3 brushes... Funny page indeed.

Are those of us who don't like it actually telling Ian Allan, though? That will have more of an impact than posting complaints here. In the end, they want to sell books and if the redesigned site makes that harder, they'll change it.

Re: Most silly title of the year?
 

I used to browse from time to time the old IA site. When I discovered the new one I was very disappointed and even if I absolutely don't use to do such kind of things; I found myself writing an e-mail to ideas@ianallanplus.com . It was June the 26th and the mail sounded this way:


Dear Ian Allan team,

I’m an Italian aviation enthusiast and amateur aviation book's writer.
In the past when browsing your huge site, I could select the editors Classic Publications and Midland Publishing that were the only one with titles of my interest, thus saving a lot of time.
Now it seems that it is no longer possible. I’ve spent twenty minutes in the new site and I still not know which are your forthcoming military aviation titles .
To be honest, I think that if nothing is going to change, I’ll continue to buy your wonderful books but I’ll never use again, this site for updates on your production.

Kind regards

Perhaps I did something wrong because I never receive any feedback from this e-mail address.

Hi,
At first I thought that my eyes were playing games, but then I found the 'Enlarge product image', confirming that the title of the book on the cover is 1933-35, but '45.

Does anyone know what period this title actually cover? I assume it is until 1945, since there is no reference to a volume.

All the best
Morten

Not sure how true this is but I was speaking to a guy at one of the Ian Allan shops and he claims that the staff are as disgusted with what has happened to the company as the customers are. Apparently one of the new directors has come in and, shall we say, 'messed' up everything. I'll carry on going to the shop but I'm steering clear of the website.

Just an updated info on Ian Allan page. They have changed their layout and search engine, layout now looks friendly and easy. Nice to navigate again!
