My new book - markhebb - 08-14-2016 Hi All, Just a bit of shameless self- promotion my new book The Emperor and the Army in The Later Roman Empire will be available in January - you can pre-order it here. https://www.routledge.com/The-Emperor-and-the-Army-in-the-Later-Roman-Empire-AD-235---395/Hebblewhite/p/book/9781472457592. Hopefully it will be of interest to some people here. RE: My new book - Nathan Ross - 08-14-2016 (08-14-2016, 02:16 AM)markhebb Wrote: Hopefully it will be of interest to some people here. It certainly is! Glad you've got a publication date, and I look forward to reading it RE: My new book - Longovicium - 08-14-2016 Agreed! RE: My new book - Renatus - 08-14-2016 Looks interesting but is that really the price?

Yeah - unfortunately academic books in general are expensive because of small print runs.....I'm hopeful libraries will pick it up as it is expensive.... RE: My new book - John W Davison - 08-14-2016 Mark, I had already picked it up from Amazon and will certainly be purchasing on publication. It looks fascinating. I guess like Stella Artois, it is "reassuringly expensive"! It is published by Routledge, so I hope they stick to their publishing schedule - I am still forlornly awaiting various interesting looking titles in their "Warfare & History" series which seem to have been delayed for years, and that last volume in their "History of the Ancient World" on the Roman republic by Bispham stubbornly refuses to appear (latest date on Amazon is mid-2017). Best of luck with the book. John RE: My new book - markhebb - 08-14-2016 (08-14-2016, 10:07 AM)LJohn W Davison Wrote: Mark, John- it's all systems go. Final proofs will be done in October- I'm pretty sure we'll hit the date- fingers crossed! RE: My new book - ValentinianVictrix - 08-17-2016 Excellent news! Yes, a publication date of January is more than feasible from my experience. As to price.... I fear I will have to wait to see if Amazon gives a bit of a price reduction as £95 is too frightening to run past 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'!!! (And I do understand why the price tag, books of this nature rarely sell more than one or two thousand copies at most). RE: My new book - Flavivs Aetivs - 08-18-2016 Yeah, McEvoy's book on Child Emperor Rule is like the same, so are most other books like this. Looks fascinating! Best of luck! RE: My new book - Robert Vermaat - 08-18-2016 Looking forward to the reviews! RE: My new book - markhebb - 08-19-2016 (08-18-2016, 02:25 PM)Robert Vermaat Wrote: Looking forward to the reviews!

I'll be gentle, I promise.. RE: My new book - ValentinianVictrix - 08-19-2016 Beware of a reviewer on Amazon who goes by the initials JPS, man he is harsh! If you get three stars from him that's considered a glowing endorsement!!! He appears to be particularly harsh towards what he considers amateur historians. RE: My new book - markhebb - 01-06-2017 Hi Guys- just a quick update- the book comes out next week.Hideously expensive but if anyone feels like getting their local library to purchase a copy go right ahead.... RE: My new book - ValentinianVictrix - 01-06-2017 Blimey, I see the price has shot up to £105! A bit beyond my range at the moment, but I am sure Oxbow may reduce the price of any they might have in the future. |
