Sir James A:
Wow, lucky find! Congrats!

Sir Nate:
It has found the precious!!!
Lucky find indeed, I know I really enjoy an armor book with illustrations other than just pictures from a camera.
The first medieval book I completely read through was simply called "Armor" The cover was knights charging on horseback from a 13th century picture bible. I do not remember the author for I read this book in the beginning of 7th grade. It taught me basically my main foundation for Medieval armor(although in 5th grade I did read a picture book that wa about the crusades and it mentioned this was the start of plate armor, kneecaps and elbow caps) and it was all illustrations by the author.
He actually spanned from ancient egypt to modern day tanks.
I was never able to find the book again though.
