Osprey only print copies of Lion Rampant on demand!!!???

" we’re working on bringing a lot of the older books onto this system as well."

That's good to hear!

Some of the older titles are awfully difficult to find. As a suggestion -- could titles be combined into volumes? So instead of having to find all (say) 5 parts of a series, they could be PODded as one book? That might help with the profit margin on them because you'd be selling more pages per binding.

Shouldn't this be in the fantasy section?

I have to say that my order with Books Etc (and another 3 copies for mates) went fine. Ordered just before xmas and received it about a week later, so taking into consideration the holiday break I thought that was pretty decent.

Sounds like LR is the new Frostgrave.

If it was Dragon Rampant, msybe.

Can we get a subforum for it? (Or, well, the 'D' one)

I discovered this phenomenon almost a year ago, when I ordered my copy of Lion Rampant - also from Books Etc - having failed to notice it was POD. It was news to the author when I brought it up on his forum.

More recently, I bought IHMN from another Amazon seller, and received it promptly, but after waiting more than a week - I know, terrible, isn't it? - for Heroes, Villains & Fiends to be posted by another seller, the normally very prompt Wordery, queried why it was still 'preparing for despatch', and received a reply quoting the text I had missed, to the effect that it was POD. In my defence, the text in question could only be seen by clicking on 'read more', which had seemed unnecessary, as it was clearly stated elsewhere in the listing that it was in stock. I asked the seller to explain this contradiction, but received no reply. I cancelled the order.

Oddly enough, I don't experience this sort of delay with Lulu, from whom I received a book today, less than a week from placing my order.

[Harry Faversham]

Yep, the same old cobblers they gave me... after they advertised 'next day delivery'!

[Little Odo]

Wordery quoted me 7-14 days (to allow for POD presumably), but I got it within a week. Not sure what this says, but my tuppence.

[Andrew_McGuire]

You probably got the one they were half-way through printing for me.

I mostly buy new wargaming books from Books Etc who somehow sell them for below the cost at which everyone else buys them.

And the only disadvantage is that you have to wait. It's great if you're not in a hurry
