Napoleonic Army Handbook: The British Army and Her Allies, Richard Partridge and Michael Oliver — First Edition

Publication: London, Constable, 1999

Formatting: 8vo, pp. xiv, 479.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The primary maroon cloth binding remains tightly bound and structurally sound, presenting with sharp corners and bright, unoxidised silver lettering to the spine. Internally, the text block is crisp, clean, and entirely free of foxing, toning, or blemishes. The original dust jacket is equally well-preserved and unclipped, exhibiting only the faintest hint of shelf-wear along the extreme top edge, with no chips, tears, or fading to the vibrant cover artwork.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition, first printing of Partridge and Oliver's highly regarded military reference work. The book is presented in its primary maroon cloth binding.

While not a notably scarce volume on the open market, this handbook remains an essential, sought-after text for Napoleonic historians, researchers, and dedicated wargamers due to its comprehensive, regiment-level data and operational analysis.

An exhaustive and deeply researched reference guide detailing the military organisation, tactics, and uniforms of the forces that stood against Napoleon. Rather than focusing merely on broad orders of battle, Partridge and Oliver offer a meticulous, regiment-by-regiment examination, providing rich insights into the command structures, weaponry, and training of British and allied troops. It stands as an indispensable resource for understanding the ground-level realities of the Napoleonic Wars.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
