Titles
on Artillery: In 1965 we published An Introduction to
British Artillery in North America (HAS No.4) which has now gone
through ten printings and more than 25,000 copies. Since then, artillery
subjects have been of particular interest to this publisher, including a
number of books and articles by the late Adrian B. Caruana.
Arms
Collecting Contents: Is a quarterly journal which began life as
The Canadian Journal of Arms Collecting in 1963 with Volume 1 No.
1. It quickly became international in scope and the title was soon changed
to Arms Collecting. It continued through Volume 40, No. 4 published in
November, 2002. This chapter contains a listing, by volume and issue, of all
the articles which appeared over 40 years. In February, 2003, a Supplement
containing, in addition to the above, a complete author index and other
related material.
Arms
Collecting - Research Reports: There is still a lot of material out
there that should be published but which is too large for a magazine, too
small for a book, or of too limited interest for either. This chapter will
be used to get some of those articles out to arms historians. To date, 12
Reports have been published, four of which are included in this edition.
We would be
happy to consider any manuscript for inclusion.
CJAC
Arms Book Reviews: Which were a regular feature in Arms
Collecting, reporting on new titles and where they can be acquired.
These books and magazines will not be those which we have published or sell,
but the name and address of the publishers will be included to facilitate
your purchase.
