DK Eyewitness Books: Arms and Armor: Discover the Story of Weapons and Armor from Stone Age Axes to the Battle Gear O Reviews
-
Nice book that is for a younger child, maybe 3 to 9 or so years of age.
-
These books from Eyewitness collection are Ok for a first and general idea about the subject for teenagers.
-
More a pictures and facts book than a research or history book, but then, I'm sure it's intended for a casual younger audience. For it's part, it's a nice visual representation of certain items. I'm using it largely as an idea reference for weapon and armor design, and for that, it's quicker than Google.
-
Great illustrations and interesting text for children.
-
It has a lot of information, but it wasn't as detailed as I thought and it wasn't as helpful as I was hoping.
-
My grandson was thrilled to receive this book for Christmas! The CD enclosed was an added bonus to back up the info and pictures. Great buy!
-
very polished and expensive appearance. Will make a great gift
-
bought this for my local elementary school. But when I got it, I thought it was too "old" for K 5. But I was wrong. The librarians said the kids would love the book.
-
The illustrations & photos were awesome. My grandson loved it! The information was wonderful. I didn't realize that there was a clip art CD in it. He has spent hours looking at it. I would buy for anyone interested in weapons.

If you have a fascination with weapons and armor like I do, you are definitely going to want to take a good, long look at this book. It features all kinds of weapons and armor from many different eras of time, most of which are historical. And believe me, this is definitely a plus for me. In fact, I can hardly wait until I have enough money to buy it's 'sister book' known as Eyewitness, Battle!
