> by Stephen Turnbull (New York: Sterling Publishing, 2004) ISBN 
> 1-85648-703-2. This is my kind of book. The pictures are clear, well 
> chosen, and abundant without scrimping on the text. The text is 
> neither oversimplified nor dryly scholarly. There is information here 
> for both the beginner and the interested layman who already knows 
> something on the subject. There are four see-through vellum sections 
> that show the armor layer by layer for four different eras; a real 
> treat. Beside the armor, weapons, and tactics, daily life is covered. 
> It's refreshing to find information on the food and drink of the low 
> ranking samurai as well as the daimio.

Stay warm!
