LaRocca, Donald J., et. al. Warriors of the Himalayas: Rediscovering the Arms and Armor of Tibet. New York: (Yale University Press for) Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2006.

I suspect this has pretty much redefined the standard for a top-level arms and armour book today. "320 pages, 295 illustrations (including 210 in full color), 10 1/4 in. x 11 1/4 in." Available in hardcover or paperback from the museum via their website. (As upper level museum members all received a complimentary copy in hardcover, one may wish to check their favorite on-line second hand booksellers. But the book is very reasonably priced direct and new from the museum - 75$/45$ for non members.)
