Arms & Armor
$49.95 / University of Penn. Press If you are interested in arms and armor, it may have struck you that the literature available to the armchair scholar can be divided into two major categories: superficial coffee-table books, and pompous, terminally boring scientific treatises on hinges, patina, and pommel nuts. But here is a work that combines the academic with the interesting and readable: University of Penn. Press has produced a beautiful hardcover of illustrated essays by some of the finest arms and armor experts around. It presents expert insights into the treasures of one of America's foremost collections of arms and armor. —Christoph Amberger |
