DK Eyewitness Books: Arms and Armor: Discover the Story of Weapons and Armor―from Stone Age Axes to the Battle Gear o

I’m giving this book 3 stars because it didn’t come with the cd as promised. Personally, I didn’t want the cd anyway and I prefer what I got, but I wanted to still give an honest review of the product based on what the description tells us we should receive. The content is great. My 6 year old son loves Eyewitness books, so this was purchased for him for Christmas, but my husband sat and read the entire thing before I was allowed to wrap it! I guess it’s enjoyable for all ages! Great images! So, I’m happy with this book and will not be returning it.

Nice book that is for a younger child, maybe 3 to 9 or so years of age.

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.

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!

These books from Eyewitness collection are Ok for a first and general idea about the subject for teenagers.

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!

Great illustrations and interesting text for children.

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.
