thanks for the comments. I agree and disagree with a lot of what's been said.

some negative points:

true, many of the older authors have retired, disappeared, are ill or have actually died.

the days of 10,000 print runs are over

positive points:

this will be a limited print run so more likely to sell out.

the Luftwaffe is an endlessly popular subject.

in my capacity as a book dealer I regularly, and without exception, sell the old edition of Hs 129 for well over £100. This has been consistent for the seven years I've been doing it.

we hope to use a U.S. distributor like RZM so American customers will have a chance to circumvent the high postage costs of sending from the U.K.

the next book, 'Blitz Bombers' will quite literally rewrite history. I'm very confident about both it and the Hs 129 book doing well.

During setting up my company I have come across many younger up and coming authors. I hope to diversify and publish books on other areas of military history - armour, naval etc.
