Greetings all,
I came across this book yesterday on AbeBooks.
Unfortunately, there is little information about the book and its contents. Even an internet search provided nothing more.
If anyone has the book, would you please advise me what it is like and whether it is worth purchasing.
Regards,
Iain Boyd

Does it seem like a worthy addition to a heraldic library?

It commands a rather steep price on every book site I visited

I haven't read it, but it does seem expensive. It is self published, but I can't find a review of it or a preview and the description on amazon is thin.

Good point. "Published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (2015)" is displayed on the Abe Books website. I cannot seem to locate anything about the author, however.

My own book was published by Create Space. I can recommend them as a better bet than vanity publishing houses. The down side is that individual copies tend to be on the expensive side (unless the author is prepared to forego all profit).

A quick browse of Create Space (Amazon) leads me to believe that they only handle paperbacks.

I am sure that is right. They print each copy as it is ordered.
