Tonight we're recording a new Ancient Warfare podcast. With the holidays in the offing, we thought it was time to go over some good books you might like to read. Suggestions very welcome! My shelves are too full already, but that's not stopped me so far...

I was trying to find some appropriate art to help illustrate an article in another magazine. Doing so, I realized we've not served the Archaic Greek period very extensively. If we published another theme on that era, what topics would you suggest?

Years ago, in a previous edition of our site, you might've run into a photo of sad looking labrador, Jack. He passed away in 2023 😢. This is now my morning ritual when we get to the office...

We advertise the Online archive (chk.me/208Vxv9) as a really neat way to read AW and access back issues, but it's particularly convenient for us too when planning themes as I don't instantly remember everything we've published. And yet, looking back, I can still see so many options! Ideas welcome!

Gosh, it was very high time I updated the editorial plan. So I did! We haven't decided on the themes after 106. Suggestions are still welcome. www.karwansaraypublishers.com/pages/editor...
