I wanna be a millionaire, then I can pusue my dream of building a giant sling and using it to sling the Earth into the Sun, mwahahahah! Oh, sorry, you did not hear that! Seriously, though. There are publishers/sellers that deal with specific subject. The Osprey series of books deal only with the history of warfae and weapons, from all time periods. That might be a good place to start. They also publish the " Men at Arms" series. True, it would be a limited interest group, but the idea is to spread the interest in the subject. Then, hopefully it will be treated more seriously. The reason some weapons are more interesting than others is their percieved importance in battle. A sword was a noblemen's weapon for centuries. And who wrote the books about swords? Noblemen! ( Sir Richard Burton, for example) Hype.
