Through an interesting turn of events, I've stumbled onto an impressive collection of Osprey books, largely material concerning things before the year 1800. I've read a couple of them already, and browsed a few others, and aside from a few issues that I've found concerning specific weapons, they seem alright to my eyes. What sort of consideration should I have on these things? I've noticed they're more 'general' than anything else, but they seem to have a decent amount of information in the package they offer. Is Osprey a reliable source of information? Or should I have a salt shaker on hand when I read them? Also, should I assume the ones written by Stephen Turnbull are mostly accurate? Or keep that same sort of skepticism about me?

Have you checked out our Bookstore? Many Osprey titles appear on member reading lists and many have been reviewed and rated. It will be a good source for checking individual titles.

Osprey books have also been discussed on this forum many times. The forum search function yielded three other threads on the subject.

Happy hunting!

As said quality varies. I have some good ones and some bad ones.

Simply put, Ospreys are as good or as bad as their author is on a particular subject. Unfortunately, that means you need a decent level of knowledge of a subject to vet them ...
