Big colourful book - but still with enough academic punch to be useful

Brief but useful - an 'old faithful'.

This book is a general synopsis of the development of arms and armor from the begining of history to the 20th century. I have several in my library just like it. While it is a moderately useful reference book there is nothing in it that stands out from the dozens of works just like it.
I got the impression that (and I may be wrong) may be more of an expert and enthusiast of the more modern weapons (matchlocks till present day) than of the earlier tools. That in itself is fine, but I got the feeling he was relying heavily on friendly peers for the Middle Ages and earlier sections of his book.
Ok book for the general reader but for you students of Renaissance, Middle Ages, Ancient , and pre-history arms and armor you might want to save your self some money and pass on this one.
