I am a beginner at Historic European Martial Arts (HEMA) and am looking for material to supplement the class I attend. So this book is not appropriate for the stage of the art I am currently in. I have read the book from cover to cover and feel pretty confident about saying that this book is 90% about the art of teaching and 10% about the art of swordsmanship. I plan to give this book to my Provost for his library. If you're teaching this material, it will likely assist you in making lesson plans or developing curricula. If you are a beginner looking for a book that tells you "place your hands so" and "move your feet thus", don't get this book.

I found this book in a library years ago. When I found it on Amazon, I added it to my home library. This may be the only place you'll see drawings of a stone bow and bullet bow.

We got this to use in our last wedding. Good music that you've heard before, but probably didn't know where it came from.

Space jumped around in the series until the story made no sense. Then they quit running it. Follow the whole story line, in order with this set. Pity the series didn't run longer than it did. Actually more interesting then most space operas. Get this and the movie together.

Most Canadians don't know this, but Justin Wilson introduced America to Cajun cooking. He's passed on, so you'll have to buy recordings of his TV shows. Otherwise, you went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and came back loving the food. This book probably covers everything you ate, teaches you how to make it and what to substitute for the ingredients you can't find in Edmonton or Halifax. Authentic Cajun food, from the beginning. As essential as Julia Childs.

Nice music from the medieval middle class. Great along side the Bawdy Songs album. You can let the children listen to this one though.

If you are interested in making archery bows from naturally occurring materials, this whole series is great! I recommend you get volumes 1 & 2 to start. Volumes 3 & 4 are more advanced and will be less helpful for beginners.

This is a good, fun recording of early music. I bought this copy to replace the one I lost in the divorce. Couldn't do without it.

I had a hard time putting this book down for about two months. It's a interesting read that I kept re-reading. It covers everything about lithic arts. Sometime I plan to learn these skills but first I have to figure out how to keep the little grand daughters out of the sharp chips and locate working material.

This is a great book to teach various sets for snares. Other than snares, there are a couple of sets for deadfalls. Good knowledge to have in your survivalist repertoire. There is no coverage for steel leg traps commonly used by commercial trappers. There is also no mention of what to do with your catch, such as the proper processing of furs and hides. So I wouldn't call this a trapper's BIBLE but it is something you would absolutely want to know if you were caught in the woods without food or contemplating a period of low tech, minimalist lifestyle. I liked the book. I'm glad I got it and intend to practice the skills it teaches. But I was hoping for a bit more out of a BIBLE.
