Title: Chris Peers' Armies of the 19th Century: East Africa (Foundry)?
Post by: WuZhuiQiu on April 04, 2021, 05:03:57 PM

I have not seen the above book in the Foundry webstore for years. Presumably, it is out-of-print. Would anybody here know whether the Foundry might reprint it? Have they published an electronic or print-on-demand edition?

It's been OOP for years, sadly, it's a great book especially alongside the Central African volume and Peter Abbots OOP Foundry book on Colonial Armies in Africa. It took me years to track down affordable copies (and even they where well over the original price) of the East Africa and Peter Abbots book on eBay. None of the OOP Foundry books every seem to get re-printed so I wouldn't hold out to much hope sadly.

A few volumes, including Central Africa, are still available from Wargames Foundry (https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/military-history-books) at the original cost of £30. But most are only available second hand.
BookFinder.Com shows the East Africa volume selling for uncomfortably in excess of £100 which is what I would expect.
I wish they would reprint them.

Hi,
The only alternative at the moment is to check Amazon for the Kindle versions. Some, not all, are available there.
