Help - Waterloo Books Wanted

[smudger1960]

Hi

Does anyone know a UK seller of these books,there are 14 in total and I have 3 of them which I picked up a few years back at the Napoleonic fair.
I'm very eager to lay my hands on some more of these,this one here is edition 6 which covers the actions arround Plancenoit.

Hi Brian

Le Livre chez vous in France have many of them in stock. Not british but you can order them for the UK. I've used them for a couple of books and they are fine.

You have to search on "Bernard Coppens et Patrice Courcelle" and "les carnets de la campagne" to get something akin to the full list.

Cheers

These are excellent books, but not inexpensive , around 40-45 Euros a pop. Worth having, though I've only got the one "La Belle Alliance" which covers the last actions of the Garde Squares. Great illustrations, and the French text is not hard to understand.
I might look out for another one on our trip to Waterloo next week............

Brian,

You can order direct from Belgium, as I have done in the past. Superb series indeed, especially with the Courcelle illustrations in each volume. Even though the books are published in French, many of the pages are extracts from English memoirs that are reprinted in English, nice for us non-French speakers!
