I got mine off half.com for about $45. The normal going price seems to be about $75, and is well worth it, in my honest opinion.

It's in print, list price is $75, and you can obtain it from the Chronique Bookshelf (a website operated by its author, so cut out the middle man!).
highly recommended!
I can't wait for the companion volume Brian's been mentioning - it deals with the next century's armour atyles! (We'll probably see it about 2010, with my luck...)

I knew there was a $25 in there someplace...
Wal-Mart sells it for $25 less than almost anyone else new!

If only that nifty "general purpose T-stake" were available. Anywhere?

Not to be a nitpicker, but I figured I'd stick my nose in.
Brian Price, the author of TOMAR, operates <u>Chivalry Bookshelf</u> (Chronique is the Knighthood, Chivalry, and Tournaments resource library, also operated by Mr. Price). Chiv bookshelf has a lot of great titles available and they reprinted Armour from Battle of Wisby, etc.
www.chivalrybookshelf.comTOMAR, however, is a Paladin Press publication. The book IS, however, available through the Chivalry Bookshelf online store here:
http://www.revival.us/product.asp?0=228&1=229&3=70Buying direct from the publisher helps support that publisher by giving them more of a percentage since they are the ones selling the book, vs buying it from Walmart or Amazon.

TOMAR sounds pretty cool. I just ordered a copy of arms and armour of the medieval knight....this sounds like a great book to add to my new started collection
