I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books on the history of Chinese weapons (swords, spears, polearms, etcetera).

I've tried doing a search on Google, but most of the links are for Yang Jwing-Ming's book, Ancient Chinese Weapons: A Martial Artist's Guide.

Other than that, I haven't been able to find anything.

Not sure about books, but check out swordforum.com. There was one of the guys on there who wrote a book on ancient Chinese siege weapons.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.
