An absolutely gorgeous book! Stunning! $25.00 at Sam's Club, couldn't resist. "Research," I said to the wife, even after swearing before entering the dangerous building that no book would leave the store in my hand.

Ah, well, I honestly meant what I said.

Good thing my wife loves me

The Sam's I was at didn't have this in the normal book section. They had a table in the center of one of their wider aisles and it had several oversized books like this one on it, all at $25. There was another one about battles or warfare or something like that, but this one just took my breath away. I bought it for the first half of the book, but it covers arms and armor from caveman to modern Navy SEAL. I've gotten lost in it several times already today.

I saw this in the bookstore a couple of weeks ago. Amazing illustrated guide of weaponry throughout its history. I leafed through it for some time, salivating all the while.

I didn't buy it right then, but...I will have this book.

It's on my list of must haves. I just ordered a new book on armor.

I have no skeletons in my closet, they are all hanging from the yardarm.

Once there were three brothers, Brandrahoon the vampire, Isranon called the Dawnhand, speaker to spirits, and Waejonan the Accursed, first of sa’necari. Isranon defied his brothers and was destroyed, his descendants forced into the darkness.
