2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 9 Feb 2004

By	G J Smith - See all my reviews

After waiting a long time for this book I'm decidedly disappointed. Less a collectors guide than a vague and misleading account of major sword types. The writing is clumsy and makes painful attempts at jocularity. There is scant information on the complex and confusing terminology of sword parts, nothing at all on metallurgy. Even given the limited space, the actual factual information provided by this book is very thin.
Some good photographs are the books only redeeming feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good beginners guide, 19 Aug 2003

By	M�rio Martins (Portugal) - See all my reviews

In my opinion, it's a good book to buy, if you would like to know something about ancient weapons, without going into boring details.An easy to read, very illustrative book, with weapons and swords from all over the world. It's a good beginners guide.
This was my first book about ancient weapons, and with it, i started my interest in this area.
