Elgood's books ???

ariel · 20th March 2014, 12:14 PM

Supposedly, Robert Elgood was about to publish 2 new books on Indian weapons: one was promised for November 2013, another for January 2014.

I am keeping an eye on Amazon but.... nada...

Any information?

Ariel,
Yes, two new books are on their way, but when they will hit the street is unknown to me.
I will write on te forum should I hear something more precise.

As a woman of my acquaintance once said "I do not buy books, I already have one" :-)

I am still waiting for the two Elgood's books. They must be about North Indian weapons. Time to learn something beside Rawson.

Ariel,
The books are on the Jaipur armory and the other on the Jodhpur armory.
With a bit of luck one should be for sale late this year or early next year, and the other one should be published next year - as far as I have heard.

Copies are available from ABE books for less than $100. Amazon was $300

Robert Elgood's next book on the Jodhpur armoury is said to be out just before Christmas, and it will be in two volumes. It should be from the same publisher as the Jaipur book. Let's hope they make it.
