Enjoyable, lots of useful information

Filled with wonderful illustrations, interesting tales of Knights and Kings, Earls, Viscounts, and Barons, and a healthy shot of history, this book has so many things going for it that I am tempted to think this is the book for learning about Heraldy to the exclusion of any other and although I know that's not quite true (The Oxford Guide to Heraldry comes to mind), after even a quick perusal of the book, I'm sure anyone will be forgiven for thinking that. Highly recommended.

Basic Introduction to Heraldry

Stephen Friar is always interesting, and this time has written intelligibly to introduce the subject of Heraldry to the non-informed. Basic Heraldry offers a good all-round in depth introduction to the subject of Heraldry. The book is well composed around a series of chapters touching on most of the aspects in which Heraldy is found today. For the more initiate Friar's "An Heraldic Alphabet" is absolutely invaluable, containing as it does some revolutionary (for such a feudal science) theories about the classifying of Sub-Ordinaries. The two books together form a useful beginner's library for a Heraldic enthusiast, if one is primarily interested in British Heraldry, although Basic Heraldry does also touch on the European Mainland side of things.
