Bought myself a collection of Fleming Bond books. I think I have them all now. I've never read one! How odd given how much I love the movies.

In PDF but still counts... the latest Pulp Alley supplement, Pulp Leagues, which usefully consolidates four books worth of league- and character-building rules into one document and updates a number of things.

Looking forward to sitting down and rebuilding my existing Leagues to conform to the new shiny, and to building new Leagues!

I just got the newly released book following on from the Memory Sorrow Thorn series by Tad Williams: The Heart of What was Lost. Currently I'm rereading the series (up to To Green Angel Tower) and will read this afterwards. Apparently another is due out in June/July I think following the story of Simon and Miriamelle. Set a few years after if I recall correctly.
Memory Sorrow Thorn was my favourite series that I read as a 15/16 year old and now that I'm older I'm getting even more enjoyment out of it as I can read more into the content of it. I highly recommend this first series to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

Richard Rhys Davies "The International Spy Film Guide, 1945-1989", a two-volume catalogue with capsule reviews of 2,240 spy films released during the cold war, sumptuously illustrated. Pricey, but inspirational. See here: https://www.kisskisskillkillarchive.com/book-shop/

The British War Office publication "Soviet Army Uniforms 1961". A nice clear guide - stamped "Restricted"!

I got the Pikeman's Lament rules a while back but didn't post them here. As background material I just received the fairly recently published To Settle The Crown: Waging Civil War in Shropshire, 1642-1648 from Naval & Military Press.

It's a proper scholarly book, all feetnotes and such, but even at first glace has lots of interesting detail on the various stages of the English Civil War(s) in Shropshire and the west of England/Wales region.

As always, I'm blown away by how terrifyingly compact England is. The entirety of modern Shropshire is less than 70km north-south and maybe 50km east-west; during the ECW it was common there (and many other places) to have three or four opposing garrisons within ten or twenty miles of each other.

Should make for lots of interesting skirmish scenarios and general background for my ECW project.

I was lucky to have some lovely folk in Hungary whom whilst visiting a book-fair in Budapest noticed this new book below. Another kind folk picked up a number of copies and sent them to myself and other keen minded folk.

The book has Hungarian captions, but if you have Somogyi's book on hand you can navigate around.

The illustrations are excellent and recommended for like minded folk who enjoy this period.

My thanks to Janos and John.
