Let's see if anyone can give us more on this one.

There was some interest in the book I was getting the pictures from. I just found a copy being sold on ebay here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem...eName=WDVW

The seller is the same one I bought my copy of the topkapi museum book from and for what it's worth I recieved that book in good time and good condition. Anyway, if any of you are still interested in the book this is the place to go.

From your info alina i managed to track down the book this side of the pond, :)
mint condition,=£28.00 inc postage, :p
ordered monday and recieved it today,double wrapped,
for anyone else considering it, this book is excellent, :D appreciate the info, :cool:

folios ltd were great all round,nice people too,spoke to them on sunday to enquire just before they left for the islamic arms auctions at christies or sothebys (i think), boy i wish i knew about that auction early :( , i'd have even driven through the hell and stress of london to attend,

Ah, your just being mean now,
:D
i'd be happy to hear your thought's on any other titles worthy of tracking down,for a novice such as myself,
on a sidenote,would you know of any working smiths around Iran to track down for a good shamshir,my aunt said her brother is visiting family in a few months,and she would be happy to act as a go between :D
