Remarks: Almost impossible to find in second hand book shops.

This book can be considered the “bible” of Croatian heraldry, listing the principles and charges of heraldry in Croatian and of Croatian family coats of arms. Contains some 20 black and white tables illustrating the concepts and charges used on coats of arms. Also, basics of sfragistics and genealogy are presented. No direct vexillologic contents in this issue, but see [zma96].

Remarks: Second richly enlarged and illustrated in colours issue of [zma71]. Can be found in Second hand book shops, but is not cheap.

In addition to the text and black and white illustrations of the 1st issue, here are added a number of new illustrations in colours, additions regarding the new state arms (since last issue Croatia gained independence), the terminologic dictionary of heraldic expressions (Croatian-German-Italian), summaries in German, English and Italian, and bibliography lists are enlarged. The part regarding the basics of vexillology is added (12 pages).

It looks like the simple flags of today’s nations kind of thing. Does anyone have it and an opinion if it has more than this, like earlier national flags or some history behind them? Thanks.

Remarks: Hard cover.

Some errors of the American edition were corrected, but the book is nevertheless not without error.

Remarks: Hard cover. Price (new): 24,50 € - Printed in China.

Nearly a replica of [zna99] — three stars added for Gagauzia, the whole flag, not just the canton of Taiwan, the flag of East Flanders has been replaced by the one of Ouarzazate (twice!), the flag of Amsterdam slightly changed, flag of Warsaw/Prague added (one image) - the name "SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN" added; Zuidholland’s flag replaces the Scottish; no new flags for Rwanda, Comores, Nunavut — so it seems to be more a correction than an “update”.
Jarig Bakker, 18 Oct 2002

It seems that most if not all of the noted corrections have been made.

I believe that is actually part (one of two halves) of the Encyclopaedia [zna99], sold separately.

While it is of smaller dimensions than The World Encyclopedia of Flags [zna99], and has a different cover design, I am sorry to have to report that the reverse of the title page bears the statement «This edition was previously published as The World Encyclopedia of Flags». (In very small print I might add.) I could not find any statement indicating that anything had been revised, added, corrected or updated. I didn’t think to check if it had the new Rwanda flag. I jotted down the Contents page headings and page references and when home compared them to those in my copy of the [zna99] — they appear identical. The only difference at all which I could spot is that the new work has 8 additional pages at the rear of the book, headed "Notes", and otherwise blank.

Main accent is on Polish national flags, with a lot of info on the history of the coats of arms, medals, flags et cetera. Some 50 pages devoted to subnational flags and coats of arms.

Remarks: Hard cover (a large-format quality paperback version exists: [zna99a]). For corrections see page b-zna99.html.

Considering that no relevant flag book (except for the Album corrections [pay00]) was published after Crampton’s 1990 books [cra84], I agree Znamierowski is «the best flag book in the last ten years».

But I find the amount of mistakes far too much for what that book ought to be — a good, reliable reference work. Such as Smith 1975 [smi75b] is. When I find now something new in Znamierowski 1999, I ask myself, «is this a novelty, or just one more mistake?». Pity.

Santiago Dotor, 03 Feb 2003

I should point out that while it’s a very nice book, it’s not quite an “encyclopedia”. Flags are placed in certain sections without a clear order, which gives a nice overview but not an encyclopedic comprehensiveness and accessibility.
