Well, I've been with my publishers for a long time, and it doesn't seem that they are keen on digital editions - they are traditional book-producers. 

I'm not sure that one copy of each book at each residence is really enough - don't you need a working copy and a "best" copy?

Thanks for the heads-up. I am still awaiting the second proof in order to index it.....

Amazon US is showing a December 2021 release date:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1785009206/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vamf_taft_p1_i0

Interesting. I see that the UK amazon site is offering a Kindle edition: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autocannon-History-Automatic-Cannon-Ammunition-ebook/dp/B098J5GQN5/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=autocannon&qid=1627549022&s=books&sr=1-1

Amazon US is also offering a Kindle version.  If you look at the link I posted, you can see that the Kindle version is $40.99 US while the hardcopy is $70 US.  Kindle will be available August 23rd, so you'd better get busy indexing & proofing!

Right - what I meant was that UK Amazon is only offering a Kindle version. Presumably a hard copy will follow...
