Introduction

This Web Impact Audit report presents a comparison of the web mentions of Allmand's Henry V and a set of similar medieval history books. A comparison of mentions of books is designed to reveal books that are the most well-known on the web (i.e., high "web impact").

• Data from search engine: Yahoo! via its Applications Programming Interface
• The searches all include the full book name and the author's last name
• The books to compare with Allmand's Henry V are taken from an Amazon list of good medieval history books (note: this is not a very good source!).
• Data gathered on: July 6, 2007.

Executive summary

Allmand's Henry V has over twice the web impact of a range of other similar medieval history books.
