We had no problem with Osprey on significant/large captions on our images - although the process of separating image/caption from text caused a couple of errors in final copy. The worst was someone at Osprey naming the A-36 "Apache" after the final edits. We began with a 100 page 100 image limit, final 352 pages - 250 images.

Ours is going to be in their X-Planes series, 80 page limit with 60 illustrations. Sounds like you managed to broaden their horizons! They're pretty strict about the X-Planes series, all of those look very similar in size but I think I'll just test the waters with our assigned editor and see if we can get some wiggle room. We just went through a very painful process this morning of brutally cutting out things we'd spent literally years accumulating, to try and get down to our contractual limit - and still didn't make it...

To a degree, Osprey gave up on us when Gruenhagen wrote the Foreward, stating that our project covered in detail what needed to be addressed. After that there were no more plea's to limit to 150 pages.
