Hey guys, I need some help if you wouldn't mind.
I'm going to be writing a 20 page research paper for college soon and the subject is going to be something along the lines of the evolution of the sword during the middle ages. I know a decent bit of information about this after hanging around here and other forums for some time and I know a few authors who I could look to for information to cite. However, I would greatly appreicate it if some people could help me out with some books they'd think could help me out - even obvious ones like some of Ewart Oakeshott's. I know we've got a bookstore, but I don't really have the experience behind me to tell which books would be of utmost use. I firgured that I could easily just do this on my own and use some of the books that I have, but then I want this paper to as accurate to history as possible.
Thanks myArmoury.
(If for any reason asking for bibliographical help is against the rules, please forgive me and lock this post)

There are alot of good books listed on the reading list here, too many to mention - just click on the different uses reading list link or check out the reading list section. I'd browse there and then see if there are some used copies on eBay or even free edition *pdfs floating around.
