"This Armory originated from a desire to illuminate the family tree of a New Zealander with the Coats of Arms of her many Cornish ancestors. In the research for this previously unpublished 16th and 17th century manuscripts of armorial bearings were discovered. Although not relating exclusively to Cornwall, they included a large number of references of Cornish families. The number of arms so found together with a review of many early printed and other sources has resulted in this book of almost 2,500 family arms."

"A four-thousand-year-old sandstone bust depicts a bearded priest covering his left shoulder with a shawl or mantle. Even today Indian men wear shawls similarly. In fact, the woollen tradition in India spans more than four millennia, right from the days of the ancient Indus civilization. Pashmina is an adventure of considerable scope and daring, taking you through a grand tour of the finest fabric known to the world. Its subject matter is nothing less than Indian textile history brought up to date with the patterns and colours of present-day attire. At first, the book presents an overview: the royal patronage that nourished the industry, the techniques that went into the making of a pashmina shawl, the slow and subtle evolution of brilliant motifs. It then goes on to present a more detailed picture: individual patterns, their differences in style, and their continuity with or departure from tradition."
