So I think you're on the mark about their target purchasers.

At least some of the academic presses turn out softcover editions at a fraction of the hardcover price. I don't like passing on this one because I'm one of those Peninsula Campaign devotees to whom you refer.

Your comment suggesting this particular press is really only interested in selling to libraries is probably close to the truth. Getting a review copy from them directly didn't work and the author ended up sending me one of his own.DW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-71493260965811726542017-03-09T10:10:25.104-08:002017-03-09T10:10:25.104-08:00This appears to be well-done.

Some of these these academic presses should just do a print run of 50 copies for institutional buyers. John Foskettnoreply@blogger.com
