Free Books For A Month From Osprey Publishing
March 25, 2020 by avernos
If you're outside of the UK you may not be aware that they went on lockdown from this week. Work has been disrupted, kids are going nuts in the house and taking over remote, PCs and laptops. Never fear though, Osprey Publishing has come to our collective aid aiming to entertain and educate I'll let them explain the complicated plan themselves.
Many people all over the world are staying at home to combat the spread of COVID-19. While self-isolation might be a bit daunting, it’s also a great opportunity to catch up on your reading. To help pass the time, we’ll be giving customers five free eBooks each week for the next four weeks.
So yeah, complicated. You go here to the Osprey Blog and there are the free books for this week, pick the ones you want and enter the code.
That's it.
Free.
Osprey's catalogue is extensive, to say the least, currently, they have 25 different series and they have picked this initial selection from five different series. So there is something for everyone. My personal favourite is the Sassanian Elite Cavalry, and obviously the Martini-Henry rifle has a special place in my heart for certain filmatic reasons.
But honestly even the areas I'm not currently interested in I have still grabbed the books because you never know when something will grab you. I'm looking at you Blackbeard and Blood and Plunder upcoming plastics... I have no will.
If you're a fan of history you'll know who Osprey Publishing are they have produced books like the Men-At-Arms series that before the interwebz were the go-to source for colour plates to show us how to paint our minis.
These have extended and expanded over the years into the massive catalogue that we see today. If you're a sci-fi or a fantasy fan and have never dabbled with the dusty old historics I recommend grabbing these books while they're free. Have a read of Blackbeards raids, or the soldiers who faced each other in the Pacific, you may find something that scratches an itch you didn't know you have and if not, well a bit of education never harmed anyone.
Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass

Osprey website is bugged. Can’t purchase in UK as it keeps setting to rest of world all the time.
I have informed Osprey.
I’ve a feeling this may be popular. But there are a few days before week 2 yet, so should be grand
Same for me. I’ll try again tomorrow I guess.
Seems to be working now.
Still doesn’t like me it seems. Every time I click proceed on the checkout it reverts to the “rest of the world” store and says that doesn’t agree with my UK address.
Site keeps crashing for me
thanks for posting i’ve managed to get through and download them
Some great book’s their.
Thats a really nice gesture – thanks Osprey
You can find these in the blog section. Get a free log in and apply the code freebooks1 at checkout and pick the no payment due when you come to pay( it is right at the bottom of payment choices) otherwise it won’t work.
You then get an email link and you can download from there.
Awesome!!!
Week 2 books are now available
Cool that there is such an opportunity and services give the users access to books and other materials. So many websites https://edubirdie.com/paraphrasing-tool now greatly help users not only in their studies but in their entertainment. Especially if you’re a broke student.
Thanks for this article!
