Just got a new book by E.Jaiwant Paul "Arms and Armor. Traditional weapons of India" This is a hevily re-written "By my sword and shield": bigger, longer and uncut.
Not an academic book like the Elgood's one, but a nice coffey table book with quite a lot of color pics, great historical vignettes and a general overview of the field, all in 140 pages. Got it directly from D.K. Agencies in New Delhi for a total of $27.45 including postage, much cheaper than e-bay sources. Ii got some other books from them before; very good and reliable service. They have very large collection of similar books. |

Not sure what you are doing wrong. I just put Paul into the author field and Arms and Armour into the title field and a long list of sellers comes up. There's even one there for $9.98. Try again.

I recently picked up the book as well. Nice pictures and a very easy read. My only negative comment is that I believe the author is quite generous with his date attributions to many of the pieces pictured.

Having seen one sold on e-bay ("Buy it now") for about $35 + SH, I felt like a winner with my measly $27. I even told my wife "See, how much money I saved for the family!" ( an argument she often uses on me when she buys something unnecessary and expensive at 30% discount, or when she selects about 20 things in the store and then buys only 5).
Now, I feel like a chump..... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you, guys, for ruining my day. |
