Islamic Weapons Book

Post by Jos?Dom » Sat Nov 14, 2009 11:53 pm

Searching on Internet, I found the book "Islamic weapons : Maghrib to Moghul / Anthony C. Tirri". Anybody has this book? I'd like to know if there's archery content, especially illustrations.

Thanks.

Jos?Dom,

I have a copy of this book. I would not recommend buying it for the archery content. It has a few pictures of bows amongst the nearly 500 pages, but they are not particularly large photos or unusual bows (two Chinese, two crab and a couple of self-bows).
