Hi
I spotted this too a few weeks ago but other than that I have no other information and sadly no I wasn't asked to contribute.
As Francis said reviews of previous volumes in the series appear mixed and one of the main criticisms is that the subjects are derivative if not almost virtual copies of artwork chiefly from Osprey books. Another criticism is that the artworks are not all done by the same artist so the quality is mixed.
Just from the front cover I can spot a figure based on one of my artworks from the Osprey Roman Naval Forces book and a Cornicen looking very like a Peter Connolly illustration.
However it would be foolish to judge a book by it's cover and I will doubtless add it to my collection.
