Another huge step forward for APS Books – our first ever paperback – a lovely job by Inky Finger Printers – silver embossing on grey cloth-bound hardcover. Really pleased with look of it and the content – a complete compendium of Andrew Sparke’s Verse. Only available direct from us at £15. See the UK Book Buy page.
First three volumes of Hugh Lupus’ amazing re-imagining of the Second World War are now out with the 4th concentrating on the recapture of Gibraltar in preparation. What Hugh does is extrapolate small changes of circumstance and shape an entirely different wartime scenario for both Allied and Axis powers. And he writes very lyrically too even about the bloodiest elements of human conflict.
