I think so far the evident had been pointed about Osprey. Some works are marvels and some others would like to be. As may have said they are a good place to start.
I take the opportunity to thank Cowan, Campbell, Rankov, and Sumner for the help they have given me writing my own articles.
As for publishers: they are there mainly to make a buck and they tent to like sensational sometimes inaccurate things who think they increase sales.
The worse thing that can happen to an author is not to be able to have a say in the illustration.
Question being asked in a publichers office:
- Why did you put knights in plate armor! There was no such armor in 1080 AD!!
- Well the look spectacular!!!!!! We need to catch the eye of the public!!!!
(No I will not tell you the place and the persons but it is true)
Kind regards
