    I think the Royal Armouries translated josef Alm's European Crossbow Survey into English in 1994 but I can't locate a copy in a library or book shop anywhere. Anyone know where I can get a copy?

    Thanks, didn't manage to find that one, though I have used Abebooks and found them to be very good but that's a bit more than I can go, I'd need it to lose a zero......
