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.

WalMart on line had them for $25 if I remember correctly.

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 Chivalry Bookshelf (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.com

TOMAR, 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=70

Buying 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
