This is a book by Astvatsaturyan " Turkish Weapons" This one as well as her other one " Weapons of the Caucasian Nations" are simply classics. Ausjulius posted a pdf of the first edition of the "caucasian" book, but the second one is 3-4 times bigger.
The Russian Publishing House "Atlant" is preparing English editions of both.

In December, they will release their new one, " Castles and Fortresses of India" and they specify that it will be a Russian edition (are they hinting on the English one?). They seem to be serious about it : one of their books " Dirks of the World" was published simultaneously in both versions.
