Welcome to Hyland’s Bookshop, the only specialist military and transport history full-time (Monday to Saturday) ‘bookshop’ left in Australia. This implies two things:

-         Firstly, the others have had to close for varying reasons, of which decreased demand for product is primary.

-         Secondly, we are still here and need your support. So why not visit soon and often, not to mention support us through mail-order, via the website or telephone.

Quality books continue being stocked over the whole range of our sections. Osprey continues to prosper through publishing additions to their popular series and expanding their war gaming books and new series, such as the Weapons and Air Vanguard. Current catalogues covering the next six months are here and available free to you.

Our first delivery of American University Press books arrived last week with a variety of themes with an emphasis on the Eastern Front in WW2. All book covers are instantly available to view with detailed descriptions when listed on the website and of course, can also be viewed on the blog.

The tenders for replacement of the lift were finalized on Friday; therefore we are hoping that the work will proceed promptly. We will have a lift commissioning, or a ‘Lift You Up’ sales when it happens.

While on the topic of the unserviceable lift, people react to the stair climb in different ways. A 93 year old ex-POW from North Africa and Italy doesn’t even puff or complain. I know my legs are a lot fitter these days.

The very hot weather through January and February has affected attendance, so now that the milder days have come, why not return and personally view the treats.

John Baxter has submitted a very interesting review on the forthcoming F-4 Phantom publication from Classic Books.

Don’t forget that the IPMS Wings and Tracks 2014 is coming up. It will be on the new date of 13 April and at the new venue of the Copland Room of the Ashburton Library.

We hope that you appreciate the content of the newsletter and please feel free to give us feedback via email or in person.


Good Reading,





Neil and the team at Hyland’s
