It's worth keeping an eye on the gaming shows for montverts.

I've picked up a few at good prices (comparable to the histoire et collections rather than osprey)

Non historical gamers are especially good to check as they never think to check the prices on the internet first!

I even managed to pick up the Justinian one with the author near by and offering to autograph it.

Sadly, the only Montvert I have is (and here's a surprise), Sassanian Armies. Nicolle illustrated by McBride.

Yep, a quick glance over some of my books suggests that in extremis there's a good few would raise decent sums. Fugol, various first editions etc. I'm only sad that in the turbulence of life, I didn't manage to hang on to my first and second libraries.

How many are there? I've got Duncan's Achaemenid one, Karl Heinz Ranitzsch's Tang one, Nikonorov's Bactrian one, and Gorelik's Warriors of Eurasia; I'm aware of the two Hellenistic ones, the Justinianic one, and the Sassanid one. Any I've missed?

Actually, that's not true, I have the KHR Tang one as well. The rest mostly left me cold as never been that interested in Hellenistic armies or warfare. Hoplites are essentially dull, and Alexander's a very unappealing character, as are most of his successors.
