Armada campaign Osprey Elite
A book that was very timely was this one which came out in 1988. John Tincey and Richard Hook. My copy is a bit grubby as it's an ex Library book and cost me about 50p. Richard Hook is one of my favourite Osprey artists.

Spanish Armada Ladybird
A new addition for my modest Ladybird books collection. Art by Peter Dennis. I actually had this - I bought it in 1988 as we were doing events for the period and I liked the artwork but lost it along the way so I was dead chuffed when Susan picked it up for me just now.
