Shamelessly poaching from the long-running BBC Radio 4 programme, 'Desert Island Discs', which asks celebrities to choose 8 pieces of music, 1 book, and 1 luxury item to take with them if they were cast away on a desert island, I thought we should apply it to Osprey...

So...

If you were cast away on an isolated desert island, which 8 Osprey books, 1 piece of music, and 1 luxury item would you take?

My Ospreys would be:

My one piece of music would probably be Robert Earl Keen's 'New Life in Old Mexico' - not the longest or most complicated song, but one I listen to again and again. My one luxury would probably be my baseball glove - just for Steve McQueen-esque boredom relief!

I think most of my choices - Ospreys as well as the others - are based in reliability and familiarity. They're the ones I go back to time and again, and never seem to get bored with (yet!). Stuck on a desert island for an indefinite length of time, they're probably the best bet!
