    Not for Heraldic Reference
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2005*

While this volume provides thousands of clip art purporting to be heraldic Crests, you will not find any reference to identify which name the Crests are registered to.  You will not find any reference to what the charge in the Crest means, nor will you find reference to the colors that the charges should be.  What you will find are generic images resembling heraldic charges in black and white.  Please note that those who are expert in heraldic Coats of Arms and Crests (and there is a distinct difference if you do not know), or those interested in improving their knowledge of them, will be deeply disappointed in this book, if you are looking for reference material.  Coats of Arms are frequently and mistakenly referred to as Crests.  Coats of Arms are the shields carried by knights, cavaliers, etc. during the Medieval Age, which were determined by the monarch of the country for which the knight served.  To use the images of this book to put together a unique Coat of Arms for one's own family is to do so without any thought to the meaning of the charges.  Each charge and each color determines a virtue recognized and honored by the monarch in the presentation of the Arms, while Crests (always displayed above the knight's helmet) are colors and charges chosen by the patriarch of the family to represent the virtues he wished to preserve in the family line.  Most Western European names have coats of arms already registered with the College of Arms of that nation to represent their families and responsible dealers of these can provide them - this book will not help anyone find their own coat of arms or any explanation of their meaning.

    Without Blazon or Reference
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2006*

Moderately useful, but all of the images are Victorian era lithograph in style, and have lost a lot of whatever flair they might have had.  Color was not expected, but without blazon (heraldic description) or any other reference other than plate number, only the images are of any use.  There is no table of contents, and although the images are grouped according to their central character (lion, tree, etc.), that is the extent of it.  There is some mention of another archive, but not in a complete context.  Hunting for it may be more of a chore than throwing your hands up and finding something else.  I'm not even going to try.  Also, since the images are in roughly the same style, an estimate of time period or place from one's own judgement of history is nearly impossible.Still, there are a lot of images, and by themselves are inspirational to some extent.Overall, not a complete waste, but not worth it, either.
