[Chris Green]

These facsimiles seem like a novel way of bringing within reach older works that would otherwise be unavailable to most of us. Seeing heraldry through the eyes of writers 150+ years ago is valuable for modern heraldists.

One small point about the blurb:

... of Arms, advocate and genealogical lawyer.

seems to hang in the air. Is there a phrase missing?

[Martin Goldstraw]

No, it shouldn't be there at all. I have already alerted John to the fact that the blurb needs changing, he will no doubt attend to it when he is able. Goodness knows where it was copied and pasted from.

[Martin Goldstraw]

Blurb corrected (I have also changed the original image - see above).

[Iain Boyd]

Martin, what does 'casewrap hardback" mean?

Iain Boyd

[Martin Goldstraw]

Basically, it is a hard backed book.
