Rain Allikvee rafelio — A useful resource that corrects many of the mistakes in George Stone's 1961 Glossary of the Construction, Decoration, and Use of Arms and Armour. Despite the title it's not actually complete (an impossible task!) but it does make a brave attempt. My only complaints are the reliance on drawings rather than photos, and some overly short entries for items that have a fair amount of information available. I can understand the first editorial choice as one simply to save money. Hiring an illustrator to copy photos is much cheaper than paying for permissions to reproduce so many photos. My second criticism is a bit more serious. For example, the entry for the ahlspiess is only about 70 words long, while much more is known about this weapon. Given the vast scope of this book, I guess they had to put a limit on length somewhere! These are minor criticisms. This is an excellent work that must have taken a vast amount of research. Well done. If you have deep pockets, I'd suggest also buying Stone's book too, for the hundreds of photos and his deep knowledge of Asian weapons. If you can only buy one, buy The Complete Encyclopaedia of Arms and Weapons.
