**** NEW - We are very pleased to announce the launch of a new sister site supplying a wide range of books to collectors of all types of antique weapons including firearms.

Our books are all sourced direct from authors and publishers and sent direct to you. Therefore you may notice that shipping costs may vary with each item depending upon where it will come from. We do this so that as well as receiving large discounts for OldSwords customers, the total price to you will be as low as possible. We have special relationships with all our suppliers so we aim to be the cheapest source of sword related books on the internet so please let us know if you can find the books cheaper elsewhere.

If you are looking for a specific book but cannot find it in our catalogue then please email me. We are in contact with a large number of book dealers and we may be able to source the book for you. This includes foreign language and rare out of print works.
