Check this out: Masterpieces of European Arms and Armour in the Wallace Collection and Complete Digital Catalogue of European Arms and Armour [Paperback].

This item (available for pre-order) appears to contain a paperback book ("Masterpieces of....") as well as a USB drive of the digital catalogues. The Amazon text says:

Quote:

Published on a USB drive, the Complete Digital Catalogue presents all the arms and armour held by the Wallace Collection in more than 7000 new photographs, ranging from whole pieces to close details and presenting them from many angles. This magnificent and visually stunning resource is both rapidly searchable and is fully comprehensive, containing also the texts of Sir James Mann's 1962 catalogue of the European arms and armour-which remains a fundamental reference work for the collection and for arms and armour studies in general-A.V.B. Norman's 1986 Supplement and every catalogue going back to 1900.

It's pricey, but probably is worth ever penny.

Ooooo I might have to soon make another little day trip into London to check out the Wallace collection again, I love love love that place, definite bonus to finding myself only 30 minutes north by train from central London lol

Looks like you can get just the book!!!

Here's hoping they'll have it at the Wallace Collection shop by the time I visit again the second week of Oct!

Wow, finally :D Last time I was at the Wallace Collection I asked about this and nobody seemed to know anything. I have a set of Mann's catalogues and have nearly worn them out :eek: Better photos, and of the entire collection, there's winner right there :lol:

Pre-order placed.

Looks like there is an error in the pricing. 250 USD compared to 25.00 GBP!

On my last visit to the Wallace collection, I seem to remember that they already had a photographic catalogue of the collection, so I wonder in how this one will differ. I will have a read through when I am next there and compare.

Amazon now lists the price as $173.21 instead of $250. I'll be placing an order....

Great stuff - thanks Chad and Mackenzie!

For those of you able to get to the Wallace Collection: They'll have the paper catalogs in stock NLT 10/11. Might have 'em tomorrow, but I was told they'd definitely be in on Tuesday. There's some sort of launch event Mon.

My order was just cancelled by Amazon.com because it was pulled by the supplier. I'm pretty damn upset by it.

I wanted the digital version with the book, so I just bought it from Wallacecollection.org at a higher price. Screw it. I want to support the museum because they're amazing, but man, I wish their publisher didn't screw us with the Amazon.com supply thing. Oh well.

Well, crap. Amazon just cancelled my order too saying:
