As an amateur herald, I like this book more than the Fox-Davies dictionary. It is more concise in definitions, with fewer in-depth descriptions or examples of things, but the illustrations are sometimes a lot better.
One of the finest reference books on Heraldry, this resource is a "must have". Wonderfully illustrated and easy to understand.
Among all the books on heraldry I own, this is the one I refer to the most often. I think I own at least two copies, perhaps three.
A beautiful book, well illustrated. Highly recommended
