More pictures and schematics than I've ever seen in a single book It also covers Eurasian and Asian stuff Unfortunately in Polish but worth translating or just looking at the schematics ESPECIALLY crossbows and compound (composite) "turkish" bows ( they are really Assyrian 5th cent. BC or older)Magazines THE GLADE Editor: Ted Bradford Price: UKP 2.80, UKP 14.00 subscription/year Availability: Archery shops or subscription: Contact: Ted Bradford 62 Hook Rise North Tolworth, Surrey KT67JY England E-mail: 101372.67@compuserve.com Review: You won't find an English language archery magazine that's much better than Ted Bradford's 'The Glade' out of the UK.
