Just a heads up! I just noticed this paperback reprint of The Rapier and Small-sword 1460-1820 is on pre-release at Amazon.co.uk:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1905074999

and I thought some of you chaps may fancy a copy that costs less than an arm and a leg.

Good head's up. The reprints aren't great in terms of quality for the plates but this particular title has a tremendous amount of info in text/illustration format that translate well as a copy. This facsimile is produced by Ken Trotman Publishing and is amongst many other such reprints. Check 'em out.

Well if only they had done this a few months earlier, I might have saved some cash Worried

But good news anyway! That way more sword enthusiasts will be able to get this reference book...

After all, information wants to be reasonably priced Wink

I actually picked up an excellent hardcover reprint from a publishing company that will do print on demand not too long ago (though if they don't have it in stock you may have to wait for a little bit so its best to go in with friends). I happened to luck out and they had one in stock so I had it by the end of the week. I don't know about advertising here but if someone wants to pm me I'm more than happy to share. The reprinted plates don't look too bad at all in my copy.

Necromancy with a purpose. The A.V.B. Norman THE RAPIER AND THE SMALL SWORD 1460-1820 is available at a nominal price and as a laminated hardback.

The digital world may have improved over the old reprints. As I go back further in dates while collecting old swords, I guess I really need this as my next physical shelf item.

A few weeks ago, I have compiled an overview of all Normal types together in one image for my own use, analogous to the charts made by Kirk Lee Spencer.

Would it be appropriate to post it here, or would that breach copyright?

I just got my copy of the Ken Trotman books reprint. The scan quality is passable for the text (it's come through a little fuzzy, but totally readable) and good for the line drawings. The prints are in black and white and not great, but probably passable enough for my use. I can upload some random spreads if anyone wants to see.

Paul,
I think it would be okay, especially if you let folks know where the original info is from.

Happy
