I hope i'm not overstepping my clearance level, but since i've been talking about books with Wallachian in the private chat and Tommy by spamming in another thread i thought it might be useful to have a general discussion about books related to the mod and broader history of the mod. I know we had something similar over at EB and one could get a lot of good suggestions.
Basically if anyone has any good suggestions or if anyone thinks there's a book that should be read about the mod that is relevant let it be known to the wider world.
For example, i'm wondering if anyone has read the Armies of the
Middle Ages, Volume 2: The Ottoman Empire, Eastern Europe and the Near East by Ian Heath? It seems really expensive, so i want to know if it's worth it.
Also i would like to mention that i have a few of books that might be relevant to the mod, and would happily look for any information required in them; i suspect a lot of you might have the same books though, so it might not be too helpful
I will edit the post with new books mentioned from team members, we can then have a nice list that could help everyone out; as the lists get bigger i will make sub categories.

I also have broader books that are not so specific, but most of my books start just as the mod ends in a cruel twist of fate
So yeah, if anyone has any good suggestions about the books of the mods timeframe, let it be known
Or if anyone has any questions about any book they are interested in buying
