This perfect-bound volume contains 87 pages, most with black & white drawings by the author. The chapters are mostly reprints of articles from 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.
Long-range plans include Plans are in place for a new edition, this in color at the least. It is also hoped that the volume might be more constructively organized and the text given a fresh edit. A supplement listing current grant and registration agencies, with contact information, general pricing, and jurisdictional restrictions is proposed to be printed separately and updated at need(though this may be left to the web site for ease of updating).
It is expected that a [[Study Groups|Study Group]] will be formed to work on this new edition, and that it will include members of both the [[Heraldry]] and [[Communications|Communications Departments]].
