wow. . . i remember checking this book out of the library more times than anyone. come to think of it, i think i was the only one who ever checked out the book. anyway, a great book. if i could only remember what library had the copy. . .

I was lucky enough to have purchased a new copy of that book from Walden Books back around 1988. It's the best book of it's kind in terms of big, plentiful, high quality photos of European Armour. This is a real catch!

This is a great book. I got a copy of the book about two years ago in a used book store for around $10.:p I love the book and had no idea the book was out of print. Should be in everyone's library.

As if you haven't heard this enough yet....

DITTO! I have enjoyed my copy of this book!

I have a very battered ,and now incomplete,copy of this book on my workshop bookshelf,and David has been trying to get me another copy as well for the library ! But they are now very difficult to find which is a shame as they really are a must have book if you are at all interested in medieval armour.

what a great prize :)

Good luck !

This book is regularly on E-Bay. I have purchased no less than 6 copies over the last year as gifts to students/friends.

Haven't paid more than $20.00 for a copy, including shipping and handling.

It may not be readily available in most bookstores... but it is available on internet book sites and E-Bay rather frequently.

Here are a couple copies found on Addall.com:

A quick search of E-bay did not find anything at this moment... however keep looking, they are bound to pop up.

It is an excellent book and I highly recommend it, especially for beginning libraries.
