As the co-Editor and co-author of Burke's Peerage & Gentry: World Orders of Knighthood & Merit I would like to inform readers that a few copies are still available for sale. Any reader interested in acquiring this increasingly hard to find tome may do so via this linked image.
World Orders of Knighthood & Merit was awarded the ICOC Prize of the Confederation International de Genealogie et d’Heraldique.
These are the principal reviews:
As a comprehensive work of scholarship, this is excellent and long-overdue. (...) A reference resource for the next century, libraries with responsibilities in this area would be advised to purchase this remarkable work. REFERENCE REVIEWS
This lavishly illustrated and impressively-researched reference work is an important guide to orders of chivalry. (...) These impressive volumes will be the definitive reference work on the history of orders of chivalry for historians. ARCHIVES
A stunning achievement and a cause for celebration...which manages to combine high standards of scholarship with wonderful anecdotes and commentary. COAT OF ARMS, the JOURNAL OF THE HERALDRY SOCIETY
There is no other single place where one can readily find such authentic histories. It is a gold-mine for researchers and a most interesting and entertaining read for pleasure. The editors are to be congratulated on their Herculean labour in putting it all together. THE HERALDRY GAZETTE
A stunning, two-volume work (that) runs to over 2,000, large-format pages and manages to combine exacting scholarship, wonderful colour illustrations, and sharp commentary. (...) A classic, unlikely to be replaced for at least a century. THE SCOTSMAN
Well written, meticulously researched, and stunningly presented. Recommended. CHOICE
These impressive volumes will be the definitive reference work on the history of orders of chivalry for historians. ARCHIVES
