The Book of Swords, by Hank Reinhardt

So, as you may or more likely probably do not know unless you've read my previous posts in this blog, I liek swordz.

The Book of Swords is something I read recently, and I highly recommend it. The author, Hank Reinhardt really knew his stuff. He covers everything from different swords around the world and how they were used, to who they were used by, how they were made, how certain features were designed to enhance the sword, etc. There's enough detail to be informative, but not so much as to be boring. It's a great read, and a great place to start if you're interested in learning about swords but don't know where to begin.

And check out the website dedicated to him here. Some good articles there.
