I pre-ordered it via USNI and at the time publication was mid October, USNI sent me a confirmation of order yesterday which appears to say publication mid December. Does anyone know when it will be published? Your Text Signature ...

Brown "Atlantic Escorts: Allied Anti-submarine Vessels 1939- 1945" [Hardcover] We apologise for the length of time it has taken us to reach this conclusion. Until recently, we had still hoped to obtain this item for you.

Lazy authors/publishers etc. Less Christmas cheer and more slaving to get me my goodies please! The USNI website is listing the Brown Atlantic Escorts book as published October 2007 but don't know how often they update their information. Your Text Signature ...

Amazon.co.uk have it in stock for £17.50. Note its now published by Seaforth Publishing, not Chatham as originally suggested. Seaforth seem to be a new imprint of Pen and Sword books, something to look out for from them is a new revised edition of Buxton's 'Big Gun Monitors' due in the Spring

Now they're saying that they don't even have an estimated arrival date, which says to me that the authors/publishers are having problems.

This is actually a promising development, as the deeper pockets of P&S may empower Seaforth. The monitor book will be more than a simple revision, but a significant upgrade from the original: more photos, more text, more of everything you liked in the original.

Hopefully, Friedman's book won't be too far behind. BTY, Buxton's original Big Gun Monitors covered only British monitors, and only 1914-1965. I doubt if USN monitors, either War Between the States or late 19th-early 20th century will be included. Bennett
