Steven Broomfield Posted 30 October , 2019 Share Posted 30 October , 2019 Noticed this on the Pen & Sword list for publication in time for ********s The Dandy Ninth, by Neil Gilhooley The author has quite a few posts across the Forum, and was god enough to send me a pre-publication PDF about a year ago. It looks very good and is available at a pre-publication price. I would certainly recommend it from what I've seen of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Neill Gilhooley Posted 30 October , 2019 Share Posted 30 October , 2019 (edited) Thank you Steven, the book is due out on 30 November 2019, so there is a short period of grace before it has to live up to its title. This, I think, is another book that has grown up with the avuncular assistance of the Great War Forum. I am particularly grateful to @gordon92 on uniforms, @Robert Dunlop for translating Fraktur, @AOK4, @pierssc, @david murdoch, @robbie56, @barkalotloudly, @Verrinder Ian, @Ron Abbott, @Aurel Sercu, @matthew lucas, @Open Bolt and Steven Broomfield, as well as @nigelcave and Irene Moore, the editors. You may recognise the great uncle of @alistair_m on the cover: Edited 6 January by Neill Gilhooley Link to post Share on other sites
Neill Gilhooley Posted 9 December , 2019 Share Posted 9 December , 2019 After, it seems, a small delay, it is in print. I can only suggest you buy it for Nigel Cave's foreword, and then you'll get the book for free...! Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Broomfield Posted 9 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 9 December , 2019 Hope it arrives in time for the Feastive Season. Should go well with a roaring fire and a glass of something reviving. Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Broomfield Posted 18 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 18 December , 2019 Forgot to say - my copy arrived on Saturday; I have two weeks to get the review done for Stand To!, so rather a concentrated reading session. First impressions very positive, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Broomfield Posted 30 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 30 December , 2019 I have just despatched my review to Stand To! - should be in the next edition. Spoiler Alert. It's bloody good (the book; not the review) Link to post Share on other sites
David Filsell Posted 31 December , 2019 Share Posted 31 December , 2019 Actually the review is good too😊 Link to post Share on other sites
Neill Gilhooley Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January I very much look forward to reading it (the review; not the book). Link to post Share on other sites
