This book is now available at Dymocks.
Its a reprinted scan of the original work of 1903 or 1907
On a brief scan in the store it looks like there's a lot of technical info on making bits and pieces for your crossbow. There's also a section on the Turkish bow plus sections about siege weaponry.
Here is the information from Amazon;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Crossbow-Sir-Ralph-Payne-Gallwey/dp/0486287203 _________________ Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.

Thanks for that Boyd. From reading the Amazon reviews it sounds like an excellent book. I might have to take a peek into Dymocks at some point.
Cheers,

We have a copy of that in Steve's library that is either an original printing or a very early reprint, it is an amazing volume. _________________ It is not enough to say I will not be evil. Evil must be fought wherever it is found |
