2.0 out of 5 stars NOT A BOOK FOR READERS..., August 31, 2001

This review is from: Heraldic Designs (The Treasury of Decorative Art) (Paperback)

Those looking for a book on heraldic design, accompanied by text on its historical development and meaning, will be disappointed. While there is some text that accompanies the forty full color plates which are the highlight of this book, it is merely plate specific. Other than the brief introduction that appears at the beginning, there is really nothing substantive for the reader. It is, in essence, a poster book, as it devoid of any meaningful text. If one is a rabid fan of heraldic design, however, then perhaps one should add an additional star to my rating.
