Any thoughts appreciated !

Not sure on books outside the Osprey's, but there's some info on the Balagan website: http://balagan.org.uk/war/spanish-civil-war/painting-guide.htm (http://balagan.org.uk/war/spanish-civil-war/painting-guide.htm)

The best by far is Uniformes militares en la Guerra Civil Espanola by Jose Maria Bueno.
My copy is from the 70's, but I think it's been reprinted since (maybe with slight variations on the title).
Anyhow, that's my two-penn'orth. Highly recommended.
