Well done! Get the coffee ready before you start reading.

A book about mail... no, I haven't ever considered that, although I try to give mail its due in my work more generally; it often gets ignored as you probably noticed. There is a fair amount about mail (comparatively speaking) in the new English armour book... But no other plans at the moment.

As far as I know the publisher is still taking pre-orders...

My pre-order is now fully paid-for. Hooray! Big Grin

On another note, I stumbled across the details of the Agincourt Day at the Wallace Collection on 12 September: now desperately trying to re-arrange my calendar so I can go...! Laughing Out Loud

Dr Capwell's recent post, above — immediately above my last post, has a link to the publisher's website and the pre-order details may be found there.

I could not find an information how many pages and illustrations the book has. I know that it is not the most important thing but still... Wink

Hi Michal,

The book is 320 pages, and has at least 1500 images, probably more. I lost count a long time ago.

Production completes tomorrow, so pre-orders should start shipping next week!!

Awesome news! I cannot wait to see all your hard work of the last decade and a half put into print!

Thanks RPM!

200 copies just arrived here at the Wallace Collection five minutes ago. And I still can't believe it's real.

I wish I were at the Wallace for many reasons right now but it would be cool to get a look at the book completed. From the images Gwen put up it looks amazing. I am sure it is an awesome experience for you. Sort of the moment you realize it has happened and you have done what you set out to do.

Congratulations Toby!

Congratulations, Toby!

Bruce Wilson · Posted: Sat 12 Sep, 2015 12:05 pm Post subject: Hooray!

Fantastic -- the final fruits of a labour of love, I have no doubt.
I'm very much looking forward to this! It looks even bigger than I expected.

Very disappointed that I couldn't get to the Wallace Collection today. I hope the Agincourt day went well!

Thomas del Mar replied to an e-mail a few days ago and said they are sending the first batch of postage. This can take up to two weeks.

I' m waiting my copy eagerly!

Tobias Capwell · Posted: Wed 23 Sep, 2015 5:30 am Post subject:

Yes, I understand batches are going out late this week and early next week. I hope it won't take as long as two weeks for most people. But they have a lot of orders to fill now, I'm pleased to say!
