New Book "Precious Indian Weapons from the al-Sabah Collection"
I have got yesterday a new book on Indian weapons: "Precious Indian Weapons from the al-Sabah Collection". I haven't read the text yet, but it features around 200 stunning daggers and swords from India on 500 pages. The picture quality is simply amazing!

Amazon as well as the publishers ( Thames and Hudson) both state its release date as September 12, 2017.
Where did you get yours and how much did you pay? |

Thank you Tatyana for mentioning this book.
For all interested in Indian arms this is a must. There are a lot of weapons studded with stones, which many does not fancy, but there are also a lot of other weapons, and the texts are really interesting, and not only four lines. I will very much recommend this book. |

I contacted several British sellers: none of them are willing to send it to the US. Even more astonishing, the one who has this book in New York (!!!) has a note that the book can't be sent to the US.
Do they think that Sir William Howe still controls New York City for the Crown? I think it is about time for Washington to cross the blasted Delaware! Please, if anyone here knows how to get this book to Michigan ( we are still not among the 13 Colonies), let me know:-))) |
