A lot is happening on the book front these days, and many Publishers inform me that they have quite a programme of Napoleonic books planned for 1997. Richard Dodman of Constable would like to hear from anyone who has an interest in the Prussian Army of the period, and would like to publish their research, but only if it is original work. Contact him at Constable and Co. Ltd., 3 The Lanchesters, 162 Fulham Palace Road, London, W6 9ER. Telephone 0181 741 3663. On the subject of how you the reader can influence Book Publishers, The Windrush Press has a programme of republishing older works, details of which you will find in the list below. They would welcome suggestions from the readership of other suitable titles for republication. They may be contacted at Little Window, High Street, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56 OLL. Telephone 01608 652012.
