He specializes mainly in military history, but also in humanities and social sciences, military publications (military regulations, military manuals, yearbooks of officers of all three branches of the Armed Forces, etc.). It also has a remarkable collection of F.E.K., encyclopaedias and one of the most complete and rare collections of titles relating to the Hellenistic period (Dr. P. Gregorakos Collection).
