Great author but confusing number of books - By: P. Conlon, 14 Sep 2008
Mr Slater's books on Heraldry are richly illustratedin colour (befitting the subject) & are very readable & descriptive. They really bring the subject to life.
One issue I have however is that he has published a number of books on the same subject & it is very difficult to identify which one to purchase (hence the four star rating). I have seen at least four different but similar titles (my comments above are based on the first listed): `The Illustrated Book of Heraldry: An International History of Heraldry & its Contemporary Uses', `Heraldry Today: The Ancient Art & its Modern Applications' (also known by the title `Living Heraldry'), `The Complete Book of Heraldry: An International History of Heraldry & its Contemporary Uses' & `The World Encyclopedia of Flags & Heraldry: An International History of Heraldry & Its Contemporary Uses'. All are publishedin the last few years & there may be others - things are further complicated by the fact that the same book can have different ISBNs (that's the case with mine anyway).

An interesting review. - By: Jesus Mateu Rubio, 20 Feb 2006
This book seems to be a summarized review of another book from the same writer.I would recommended it due to its great writing & awesome pictures & drawings.
