Pick of the Time Unit!

Heraldic Imagination
Rodney Dennys / Published 1976
This is one of the best explanations of the origins of the heraldic achievement. It contains a massive amount of useful historical information delivered in a style that keeps one from yawning.

Heraldic Books from the appendices of
The Administrative Handbook of the College of Arms of the S.C.A.

(or the closest matches I could find)

Books from Appendix E - Name References
Books from Appendix E - Armory References
Books from Appendix H - Name Books That Do Not Require Photocopies to Laurel
Books from Appendix F - Names Sources to Be Avoided in Documentation

Remember that these references are made concerning MEDIEVAL heraldry as used in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and are not meant to be taken as an absolute of heraldic knowledge (though we try). Likewise, these links are being provided by me, Ulf Gunnarsson, and not the College of Arms of the S.C.A.

So if your arms don't pass because you used one of these books, don't blame them, blame me.
