THE BOOK OF THE CROSSBOW/ REVIEW

[gerald strine]

A great book on Medieval crossbows I learned a lot from this book, great drawings throughout the book.A must read for all crossbow enthusiast.
You have all the info in this book to recreate the bows in the book.
The section on siege engines is also very interesting and informative.
If you do not know what a Bullet bow,Stone bow, Windlass,Cranequin,Popinjay,Trebuchet or a Ballista is you should read this book.
