One of the most popular and successful publications of The Augustan Society, Inc., is ''The Little Manual of Heraldry: A Synoptical Approach'' by Carl-Alexander von Volborth, FAS. The third edition is available from [http://store.augustansociety.org/shopping/product/4 available from the Society's Online Store].
Three editions were printed, but one suspects they were actually three printings of substantially the same material. (Copies of the first two editions have not yet been found.) The introduction and dedication are dated 1965 and 1966, respectively, with the third edition copyright notice bearing both 1966 and 1995.
This perfect-bound volume contains 87 pages, most with black & white drawings by the author. The chapters are mostly reprints of articles in Society publications, and the tone is somewhat uneven as a result. The subject matter addresses most issues in heraldry, and does so from an international perspective. It does not go into arms granting or registration agencies.
