It is my dream to own every Osprey Publishing book so I can ogle at all the pretty illustrations.

The care put into the illustrations present in old literature is underrated.

Not that I know of. You won't really find Osprey books at your library of a mid-sized town, since the publisher is not as popular enough to nomralfags to warrant purchasing their books with limited shelf space.

Yep. I'm not saying something abstract can't be interesting or good but the bar has been set so low now that fine art is dead and now just a money laundering operation.

Osprey has still thankfully been focusing on its core audience to this day, though they have tried to push hard into table top gaming since the last decade. Their being owned by another company is concerning, but the chief guy at Bloomsbury is not a Jew or Jeet.

I just looked and they have a ton of books, even if you restrict it just to a period like ancient time.

@King_Noticer@poa.st @Goalkeeper@nicecrew.digital @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st @Twoinchdestroya@poa.st Maybe somewhere, a digital copy can be found, or made with a printer and some paper.

I already own a couple, including a few on the One Hundred Years War and a couple about WWII fortifications. It's going to be a trip collecting them all.

They look fantastic. I totally understand wanting to catch them all.
Sometimes I wish I had enough money to have a really large library.
