So,what does everybody think about the Osprey Fortress books? There are four available at the moment:Japanese castles,Norman castles in the UK and Europe and the first one of a pair about the castles of the Teutonic Knights.

I bought the Teutonic Knights one to see what they were like. Pretty good, and the series does give you the chance to pick and choose your subject. I think there is about ten out now, though many relate to WW2 fortifications.

from the new ones i find already two very interesting:

The Fortifications of Malta 1530–1945

Mycenaean Citadels c. 1350–1200 BC
