Just thought I would let you know that Greenhill Publishing have put back the release date from 15 June 2006 to End of 2007 for Ian Knights new book.

Communication was very poor and there was no mechanism put in place to stop pre paid orders being processed against the original release date of 15 June 2006.

Well another 16/17 months to wait.

Andy

A great shame that it's been put back. Clearly Ian is busy doing other things. Maybe we need to encourage him to get it published!

Dear AMB,

Actually things do not work with publishers as you might expect - they tend to schedule things - and spread books on the AZW so that they are not all released in the same month with same subject matter. So there could be another book being published before Ian's - such as the Who's Who of AZW, perhaps?

Surely there can't be that many Zulu War books being published to cause a delay of 15/16 months Exclamation

Martin,

The Zulu War Who's Who? Ian did mention something about that over dinner some time back. Were you the co-author? Do we have a publication date?

Regards,

AMB

Dear All,

Looking at Greenhill's own site, it clearly states that Ian's new book, "Rorke's Drift, The True Story," ISBN: 1-85367-648-9, is not published untill 1/11/06.

We await with interest!
