Hi Tim and all,
Sorry for the delay. It is not a sword porn book (I too like that name) however, it does contain actual porn, well, handles with erotic images.
This may be a surprise to those only casually aquantied with Islamic art. Although not primarily not a book on historic and social developments, social issues ect. of swords, it is far from just pictures. It is a book of substance (in many ways). There is more text than pictures (rare for a sword book). Hope this helps in your decision.
Ann
