Publisher: Heraldry Today , 1971 first edition

Condition: Like new. This book is in an excellent condition. The cover have some very slight signs of wear and the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains perfect. This book has clearly been well maintained and looked after thus far. Previous owner details neatly inscribed on first page.The book is protected with a Cellophane cover. Still in cardboard box in which it was distributed.

Here, in a single reference book, can be found the arms of Schools, Colleges and Universities, Bishoprics and Ecclesiastical bodies, Banks and Industrial Corporations, City companies, and Civic Authorities.

In fact, all impersonal arms, as opposed to the arms of individual people.

An up to date publication of this nature was urgently needed as nothing comparable has been attempted since 1915, since when the number of impersonable arms have been enormously increased.
