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.
