Osprey publishes paperback books. Osprey books advertised in the Napoleonic Literature Bookstore fall into the four series described below.
Many books included in several different listings. For example, most of the books in the (Napoleonic) French Army listing also appear in the Battle of Austerlitz, Battle of Jena and other battle listings. Osprey has done this to relieve you of the problem of attempting to do it yourself.
Osprey books sometimes go out of stock for temporary periods. You may order an out of stock volume while it is out of stock, or you may check back periodically and order it when it is in stock again if that is what you prefer.

charts, and color plates accompany the text, and a series of three-dimensional
battle maps marks the critical stages of the campaign. Each volume concludes
with a brief guide to the battlefield today and detailed notes for wargamers.
