Some publishers produce reprints of older books relating to India, or books in respect of specialised topics such as military.

Naval and Military Press

Its website says that its range of books covers the whole spectrum of military history with titles on uniforms, battles, official and regimental histories, specialist works containing medal rolls and casualties lists as well as titles for genealogists, medal collectors and researchers.

An example of one of its books is "The East India Company's Arsenals & Manufactories" by Brig-Gen Henry A. Young, Director of Ordnance Factories in India 1917-1920, first published in 1937 and re-published by Naval & Military Press in 2005 which gives historical background of munitions factories etc.
