				| 
 |  
				| This book is now available at Dymocks. 
 Its a reprinted scan of the original work of 1903 or 1907
 
 On a brief scan in the store it looks like there's a lot of technical info on making bits and pieces for your crossbow. There's also a section on the Turkish bow plus sections about siege weaponry.
 
 Here is the information from Amazon;

				| Thanks for that Boyd. From reading the Amazon reviews it sounds like an excellent book. I might have to take a peek into Dymocks at some point. 
 Cheers,

				| We have a copy of that in Steve's library that is either an original printing or a very early reprint, it is an amazing volume. _________________
