Heraldry: Sources, Symbols and Meaning

A fabulous densely illustrated introduction to the world of heraldry. Touches on many aspects sufficiently to allow a broad understanding of the subject to be learned without getting bogged down in the more esoteric aspects of the science.

One of the best—and most beautifully (and copiously) illustrated books on the topic. Certainly, if you consider yourself a devotee of heraldry and heraldic lore, you will not be disappointed with this book. Highly recommended.

A bit disappointed with the brutal paper cover damage, but in general everything looks good.

ok when i was looking at this i was thinking it was a joke and then i thought ow a litle paper back but its a good size very informative book im realy happy

Was not expecting what I got. Wanted more of an explanation of symbols used, more of a dictionary. Buyer beware.

I've read Neubecker's books now for many year. I'm happy to have this addition to my heraldic library.

If you are a fan of history and historical novels like me, there will be times when you need to think about heraldry - what do the symbols mean, how is it that the family crests were made, what did they mean to the men as they went into battle? Sometimes you just need a good reference book to have a look at to answer those questions.Well, this is the book! It is certainly not the best and most scholarly work available on the subject, but it is an accessible reference which will answer most of the types of questions that I have posed above.And it is a handsome book as well, full of colour and great illustrations. For a history buff, this is a great addition to your reference library.

I was very happy with the condition of this book and how quickly it arrived.

Exactly as described - nothing else to say - why should I do that? - is that not enough for you?
