Long term readers of Empires, Eagles and Lions will be aware that Mike Gilbert (one of their main men) has previously made nice comments about NN&Q. In EEL #6, Mike comments on the re-launched Age of Napoleon and although admittedly he doesn't go overboard, 'it's by far the best of the batch. Yeah, really recommended'. On behalf of all our contributors I have written to Mike thanking him. In turn, I would like to thank you all, readers and contributors alike, for the support you have given the magazine.

In a recent 'Dusty Archive', Paul Chamberlain gave us some information both on books being republished, and on new works. One title missing from the list is probably my favourite book on the short, dead, French dude, 'Napoleon, Bisexual Emperor'. This was written by Major-General Frank Richardson MD, and published by William Kimber in 1972. I don't think that I have ever seen it cited in a Napoleon biography, and indeed it is not included in 'Napoleonic Military History: A Bibliography'. There does not seem to have been more than the original printing, but perhaps in these more enlightened times a work on the Emperor's sexual proclivities could now find a larger market. Any takers?
