The contact form on this page is the way to reach the archive. Messages are read by the curator, and the form exists for one purpose above all: keeping the catalog accurate and complete.

What the Form Is For

Three kinds of message are read and acted on:

• Bibliographic errors. A wrong year, a book placed in the wrong position in its series, a US title confused with the British one, a volume missing from a reading order. Please include the address of the page and, if possible, a source: the publisher’s page, a Library of Congress record or the author’s official website.
• Missing authors or series. Suggestions for writers of military, spy or war fiction who are not yet in the catalog. To be considered, an author needs at least one title published in English in the United States or the United Kingdom that can be verified on a publisher source.
• Correction requests. Authors, publishers and rights holders who want a statement on a page corrected or clarified.

Messages that come with a source are the quickest to act on. Every change to the catalog is checked against publisher data before it goes online, exactly like the original entry, so a link to the evidence saves a round of questions.

What Is Not Accepted

The archive does not accept paid reviews, sponsored content, guest posts, link exchanges or paid placement in its lists and indexes. Requests to change how a book is described in exchange for anything of value are not considered. Messages of this kind receive no reply.

Response Times

Messages are read in the order they arrive. Corrections supported by a source are usually checked within two weeks, and the page is updated once the correction is confirmed. Suggestions for new authors and series are collected and evaluated when the catalog is next expanded, which can take longer. Not every suggestion receives an individual answer, but every report of an error is checked.

Your Data

The name, email address and message sent through the form are used only to answer the request and are handled as described in the privacy policy. For the method behind the catalog and the sources it relies on, see About This Archive.
