The topic of Penguin's publication strategy for the Forces was first explored in Miscellany 2, 1987, but this Miscellany goes into far greater detail thanks to some extensive research by Joe Pearson. As Russell Edwards points out in his overview, ‘there is good news and bad. Joe Pearson provides valuable lists showing the inter-relationships between various forces schemes and main issue Penguins. He also produces information on sales and print runs which demonstrate that these wartime titles are even scarcer than we thought’.
