DK Eyewitness Books: Arms and Armor: Discover the Story of Weapons and Armor―from Stone Age Axes to the Battle Gear o Hardcover – August 15, 2011

Love these as first-person reference materials. Some of the older ones could use updates in copy. I wish so many weren't out of print. But do enjoy this one. Hate to glorify weaponry... But it is a cool book.

My kid brought this home from the school library and asked for it. Glad we have Amazon.

My son picked this book out at a homeschool conference off a table with tons of books. He saw it again at a book store, so I knew I had to get it for him. Good details and pictures for those interested in arms/armor/weapons.

The illustrations & photos were awesome. My grandson loved it! The information was wonderful. I didn't realize that there was a clip art CD in it. He has spent hours looking at it. I would buy for anyone interested in weapons.

Nice book that is for a younger child, maybe 3 to 9 or so years of age.

More a pictures and facts book than a research or history book, but then, I'm sure it's intended for a casual younger audience. For it's part, it's a nice visual representation of certain items. I'm using it largely as an idea reference for weapon and armor design, and for that, it's quicker than Google.

If you have a fascination with weapons and armor like I do, you are definitely going to want to take a good, long look at this book. It features all kinds of weapons and armor from many different eras of time, most of which are historical. And believe me, this is definitely a plus for me. In fact, I can hardly wait until I have enough money to buy it's 'sister book' known as Eyewitness, Battle!

Nice coffee table book with good photographs and layout that'll keep someone occupied while they're in a waiting room (or otherwise idle).
