Der Mittelalter Reiterschild "Medieval Shield" Book

[Primvs Pavlvs]

Excellent book for research, amazing full color photos of extant European shields from the 10th century to the 14th and a few later. One chapter delves into the constructio methods and even a tutorial on making your own.

The downside is it is in German. However, if you are not able to read German, it is still an amazing reference source.

$40 shipped in CONUS

I've been wanting a copy for years. If it's still available when I get paid next friday, I will grab it.

Fucksticks. I DO read German and I need this in my library, but my spare cash is all earmarked this week. Second dibs behind Marcus.

[marcus the pale]

It's not really a dibs, money talks, just sayin I can talk the talk next friday.

[Klaus the Red]

OK, fair's fair. It's too good to pass up, so I will take it and re-jigger my other priorities. Marcus, if you want specific pictures or information from it, I'll be happy to scan or copy some excerpts for you, and translate the best I can.

[Payn]

Well damn. Other other other no longer dibs.

[Thorvaaldr Frithsamr]

I think I need to see if I can ILL a copy of that.

It looks like it's 24 Euro on Amazon.de, which wouldn't come out too, too much over $40 with trans-Atlantic shipping. Cheapest US copy I see is ~$48, + shipping.
