Customer Reviews

This is a good book

This is a good book but note the title - "The Armourer and His Craft" ... the title is NOT "How to Craft Armour From the XIth to the XVIth Century" - I think a lot of people here got the wrong idea and were disappointed. As an insight into the armourer though, it is very interesting.

Obviously, it's a historical book...

It's clearly specified in the title. This book provides an interesting look into the art of armor construction and also into the lives of the armorers and the people who hired them. The book is written in a simple but informative style.Although the book is old (original edition is from 1912), the text is concise and clear. The pictures and illustrations (which are most medieval drawings) are very nice.A very intersting read.
