Product Description

From the Author

Designed to be a light, colourful and informative guide
As the author and illustrator of this work, my aim was to present the complicated 'science' of heraldry in a colourful, easily understood way. Coats of Arms whilst not being a heavyweight scholastic work, does contain the essence of this vast, complicated and romantic subject. Unfortunately I could have put much more in but in the end we compromised. The result is a highly colourful guide and I hope that the book gives as much pleasure as I had producing the text and the illustrations. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Coats of Arms, ,Andrew Stewart Jamieson, 15 Feb 2010
By 
This review is from: Coats of Arms (Pitkin Guides) (Paperback)
Beautiful book with all illustrations in colour. I don't know how they produced it for the price. All the elements of heraldry are included along with chapters devoted to church heraldry, guilds,royalty ,cities and scottish heraldry .
It explains ,in detail,with illustrations how to blazon a coat of arms which I found particularly interesting - this is clearly set out in front of you with the full achievement on one page marked with identifying arrows , and clear pictures and text illustrating the process of blazoning on the opposite page. Anyone like me who has found it difficult to follow verbal instructions on blazoning will grasp how to do it instantly. Worth buying for this alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful art and good explanation of heraldry, 17 Mar 2011
By Linda L. Robinett "Sieglinde" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coats of Arms (Pitkin Guides) (Paperback)
This short book is full of lovely art and a good short history and explanation of heraldry as used in the United Kingdom. It shows historical coats of arms and also shows how they are created using color, charges and divisions on the device. Good for a beginner SCA herald or anyone just interested in the art and science of heraldry.
