Heraldic Cadency arrived yesterday (the parcel was actually left in the ditch in front of the mailbox - something the Postal Service will hear about today), and I read half of it before going to bed last night.

It's a very informative read and, not being as adept and constructing a coat of arms simply from reading the blazon, I appreciate the many illustrations that it provides.

I now have two more questions:

1. Gayre states that the label argent is reserved for members of the Royal Family in English heraldry; does this carry over into Scottish Heraldry? (I'm curious because I used a couple of labels argent in my examples above and nobody corrected me.)

2. What other books do you recommend for somebody interested in the subject of heraldry?

Thank you!
