I just got my copy yesterday, and it is quite an impressive volume. This book, along with Robert Elgood's Arms & Armour at the Jaipur Court:The Royal Collection and Tim Roger's An Annotated Bibliography of Indonesian, Filipino & Malay Edged Weapons, has made it a very good year for ethnographic publications.

Rivkin's book does look at firearms, but the emphasis is on blades.
