In late 2014 I resolved that, after ten years of trying, one way or another, I would get this dratted book published. My motivation came from the impending 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt. Since armour in the age of King Henry V is the heart of the book, missing this auspicious moment was simply not an option. And thanks to @del_mar_thomas , it happened.
For the last few years however the book, the first of the 'Big Three' , has been unavailable.
Now it is coming back, in a limited release! The pre-order is open, link in bio. If you were thinking about pre-ordering but haven't done it yet, now's the time. We're making progress towards our target (required to print), but we're not there yet. And if you have pre-ordered, thank you! Now go harangue your friends, enemies and perfect strangers.
Of course I missed this year's anniversary by two days! Although I'm not sure 611 is an especially significant one.

611 is a semi prime as it has 2 factors which are primes themselves. Its special 😉

This book and the following volumes are the best thing since sliced bread, actually better they are like the pieces of Armour within them works of Art, I would love you to do a Fourteenth century book or two.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; @draigallery and Gloucester, be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red as those owning all three fine volumes since Saint Crispin's Day! [sorry, I'm bored as heck here 😝]
