I managed to get myself a copy of Henry Saint-George's "The Bow: History, Manufacture, and Use" third edition, 1922. Very nice reading with quite a few true to size diagrams and plates of bow heads. It is used as a reference in Henderson's book (for figures 14 and 15). I am thinking to photocopy it and post it since it's no longer protected by copyright (or I could sell digital copies on the interwebs and then buy a retirement mansion in the Bahamas). If anyone is interested, just let me know.

cheers,

Very nice! I'm sure having the original beats a photocopy/scanned copy. It's also available at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/29112/29112-h/29112-h.htm

BTW, I visited the publisher/copyright holder of Henderson's book, and they suggested a willingness to post it online for no cost. It hasn't happened, though, and I'm not holding my breath.


Happy New Year!

Glad to see someone got that done Smile

As far as Henderson, it seems to be copyrighted to Henderson himself, technically that would have been transferred along with his estate. Just curious, who holds the publishing rights now?
