Would love to hear what you think

Have known Brian Isaac a very long time and consider him a friend even though we have never met. He has been doing a serious study of Islamic/Asian arms & armor for a very long time. He has had hands on experience with many incredible collections and his opinion is highly valued by all who know him. He is well versed in areas hard to research areas such as mamluk and can shed light on many dimly lit subjects. Hope this volume is the first of many and wish both him and his family all the best.

Based on what Rand and Ariel say, I agree with Ariel and would like to know what you think Rick.

I just received this book and at first glance it looks absolutely superb. IMHO destined to be a classic text on eastern swords.

Summer = full plate.
I'm chipping away at it guys.
It will take me some time to get through it.

I typed into search on the web " A Study of the Eastern Sword" and this gave good guidance .
