[Ansteorra] fwd: [MR] Saracenic Heraldry Book

[Stefan li Rous via Ansteorra]

I thought some of the heralds here might be interested in this.

I find the Edward Hamilton Bookseller to be addicting, although these days I tend to look at their site rather than through the paper catalogs. Caution, it is very easy to end up buying a whole stack of books when you only meant to buy one or two.

Noble Friends, Especially Our Heralds:

While skimming through the latest Edward R. Hamilton Bookseller catalog, 
I stumbled upon a listing for a book that might be very useful to our 
device heralds: SARASENIC HERALDRY by L.A. Mayer. The listing says the 
book "Covers the geographical area of Syria, Palestine, and Egypt during 
the period from the end of the Crusades to the Ottoman conquest." It is 
published by Oxford University Press, 372 pages, 71 illustrations. 
Currently the book is on closeout for $9.95. Hamilton's item number is 
5536014.

Since most of you probably don't get Hamilton's paper catalogs (you 
should, they're a goldmine), you can order online via their website at 
www.erhbc.com/hbp . For catalog orders, they charge a flat rate of $3.50 
shipping _per order_. For on-line/credit card orders, shipping is $3.50 
_per book_, which is still a bargain. I have ordered books from them for 
years, and am very satisfied. If a book is out stock, you will get a 
refund within two weeks. No, I have no connection to the company.

Since I am not a herald, and am not on any of the heraldic boards, 
perhaps some kind gentle would forward this post there where it might be 
even more useful.

Yours Aye,

Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
