Elgood's books ???

ariel · 20th March 2014, 12:14 PM

Supposedly, Robert Elgood was about to publish 2 new books on Indian weapons: one was promised for November 2013, another for January 2014.

I am keeping an eye on Amazon but.... nada...

Any information?

Jens Nordlunde · 20th March 2014, 04:27 PM

Ariel,
Yes, two new books are on their way, but when they will hit the street is unknown to me.
I will write on te forum should I hear something more precise.

Thanks.

Great.........more money out of my pocket.......back to the beans and rice.

ariel · 13th September 2014, 01:03 AM

As a woman of my acquaintance once said "I do not buy books, I already have one" :-)

I am still waiting for the two Elgood's books. They must be about North Indian weapons. Time to learn something beside Rawson.

Jens Nordlunde · 13th September 2014, 09:27 AM

Ariel,
The books are on the Jaipur armory and the other on the Jodhpur armory.
With a bit of luck one should be for sale late this year or early next year, and the other one should be published next year - as far as I have heard.
Jens

Jens Nordlunde · 26th October 2014, 04:42 PM

The last I have heard is, that the Jaipur book should be published in January - next year, I think :-).
The Jodhput book should be published later in 2015 - I think/hope.
I have no details about how/from where to get the books so far.
Jens

ariel · 24th March 2015, 04:44 AM

Any news on the horizon?

Jens Nordlunde · 24th March 2015, 09:39 AM

So far I have not heard anything, but it must be due soon, as it should have been out before Christmas.
I will let you know when I hear something.

kahnjar1 · 24th March 2015, 06:02 PM

This post prompted me to visit a well known internet book site and I see that Robert Elgood has published HINDU ARMS AND RITUAL----ARMS AND ARMOUR FROM INDIA 1400-1865. Published in 2004.
I am assuming that this is not the books discussed here??

Jens Nordlunde · 24th March 2015, 07:20 PM

No it is not.
The Jaypore book should have been on the street months ago, and the Jodhput book shoul follow later.
Jens

Kubur · 24th March 2015, 07:25 PM

HINDU ARMS AND RITUAL is for the South, non Muslim India.
The books on Northern India will follow in the next couple of months.
I have no doubt that they will be excellent.

Hi all,

The book on Jaipur arms is published and I got my copy yesterday.

Needless to say the book is awesome and has superb photographs.

Regards,
Bhushan

BANDOOK · 26th June 2015, 01:10 PM

hi bhushan
where can one buy it in india,any place in Bombay and what is the price in indian rupees,cheers rajesh

CharlesS · 26th June 2015, 01:12 PM

If you want to purchase the book now through a reliable site, I would suggest
the Advanced Book Exchange or www.abe.com

I've never experienced any problems ordering internationally via their site.

I was unable to order via Amazon-India.

Rick · 26th June 2015, 04:11 PM

I also see that it's listed on that books etc. site that's named after a certain South American river .

Jim McDougall · 27th June 2015, 07:43 PM

Thank you so much guys for the updates and helpful information regarding Robert Elgood's new books!!!!
They have been long awaited, and as most of us here know, his references have become a mainstay around here for serious arms students and scholars.
It is really helpful to have this information and looking forward to proceeding with ordering them myself.

bhushan_lawate · 29th June 2015, 10:28 AM

Hi all,

Sorry I was travelling and couldn't respond earlier. I got my copy from eastern book corporation with 20% off and free shipping within India. I recommend checking with them or the publishers - Niyogi books.

Other avenue will be D K Agencies from Delhi.

Also this should be available with most leading book houses.

I hear the Jodhpur catalogue is due in Dec or Jan.

Regards,
Bhushan

Note to all excited collectors. Dr. Elgood's book is now available on Amazon.

Marcus · 4th July 2015, 03:15 PM

Copies are available from ABE books for less than $100. Amazon was $300

Jens Nordlunde · 5th August 2015, 03:42 PM

Robert Elgood's next book on the Jodhpur armoury is said to be out just before Christmas, and it will be in two volumes. It should be from the same publisher as the Jaipur book. Let's hope they make it.
Jens

ariel · 6th August 2015, 12:37 AM

December or January.... What year? :-))))))

Jens Nordlunde · 7th March 2017, 12:57 PM

Yesterday I heard from Robert, that his book/s will be published in May. Yes Ariel - this year:-).

Jens Nordlunde · 17th April 2017, 03:18 PM

I have asked the publisher, and here is the answer I got. One could say that it is a bit late, taken into consideration when it was first planed published, but you must remember, that we are speaking about several pages:-).

'The book is scheduled to be published in the month of July 2017.

Regards,

Niyogi Books'
