Arms
and Armour of the Medieval Knight US$17.95 (Hardcover) Recieved 5 star reviews from Amazon.com patrons. One reader said "If you buy just one book on arms & armor, this should be the one. This authoritative work is an excellent resource and reference tool. The author gives comprehensive, century-by-century coverage of the development of arms and armor. In addition to the informative text, the rich illustrations make it a pictorial archive of immense value. These not only depict surviving museum pieces, but also medieval battle scenes. The illustrations alone make this book worth the price." |
