Wow!
Osprey are now sponsoring quite a few of these sites. Good on them. I thought they were 'taking over' ML a while back?

That is great news. I'll bet we all have a number of Osprey titles.
Is there a way that we can do business with Osprey, or any of our other sponsors, so that they know Armorama sent us to them and maybe get Armorama a little credit?

Well if you do business with them via a phone order I would certainly mention you found them via the site. Or sometimes web orders have a blank field for "Where did you hear about us" or other notation field.
As for Osprey they have a tracking link in their banner so if you purchase from them via a visit from that banner they will know the sale came from here.
Thanks,

I just ordered three new books from them. And guess what?! Shipping is free with the purchase of three or more!
On top of that, I'm psyched for their future release of the M18!

Hi, Have quite a few of Osprey books that I've gotten down over the years and have enjoyed each and every one of them. And at good prices too.
Take care, Sgirty

I just ordered three myself, using the banner, this afternoon.

Free shipping was a nice surprise.
