Swords an artists devotion by Ben Boos
This is a beautiful book to look at, but beyond that I learned stuff - I learned about swords and other handheld weapons from ancient times and cultures. The information is kept to short snippets, general and specific information on the different styles and uses of a wide range of swords. Beautifully detailed illustrations makes this an awesome book for those of you who love the topic of war, warriors/combat and the tools of their trade - swords!
Some of you have already designed and illustrated your own interpretation of some of the swords in this book and have shown me your works. Way to go - obviously I wasn't the only one inspired by this book.
