NF Quo Vadis, Hafendorfer?

[OldReliable1862]

The late Kenneth A. Hafendorfer self-published a number of books on the war in Kentucky through his own KH Press. These include an massive work on Mill Springs and even larger 2-volume work on the Perryville campaign. Unfortunately, with his passing, his books have fallen out of print. I want to know: are any of you also interested in seeing Mr. Hafendorfer's works return?

I've never heard of them or of Hafendorfer. But any book on the Perryville Campaign sounds like an interesting work.

That sounds interesting. I have always wanted to read a good account of Perryville.

I can pass this time. I have all 4 books, and Battle of Richmond, Ky. is autographed

When I made this topic a year ago, the idea of bringing back Dr. Hafendorfer's books seemed like a pipe dream. However, the news that Ed Bearss' Vicksburg trilogy will be reprinted has me just a wee bit hopeful that this might just happen.

I think if we can get enough interest going in this, we might just get Savas Beatie to look into KH Press' library. What say you guys?

I think it is a good idea. But I know nothing of cost and retail for coverage. Historically it is sound, but economically? Does the current market justify a republication?

I know nothing more than you on publishing, but Savas Beatie knows that people will buy a three-volume set on Chickamauga, among other Western theater topics. It is not unlikely that the same people who buy books on Chickamauga will do the same for Perryville.
