I ordered The Swordman's Companion: A Manual for Training with the Medieval Longsword off Amazon in mid-December...and it kept being delayed and delayed (for more than two MONTHS), so I finally canceled the order today. If anyone would happen to know where this book would be in stock, I'd much appreciate their advice. Also, any suggestions of similar or comparable texts would be welcome.
Thank you

Stephen (a very poor author) |
Poor author as in " starving artist poor " not as in " bad writer poor ". I'm sure the " pun " was intended at some level.
I have a couple of his books bought directly from the small publisher and I think they are really good.

What Nathan, Stephen and Jean said. Down with middle men!
I'd like to add that I've always been pleased with the orders I've placed with Chivalry Bookshelf. Oddly, almost every time I've acquired one of their books either in a bookstore or from Amazon, the book looks as though it's been roughly handled somewhere along the line. The ones I get right from the source have been in great condition.
Pax,
Sam Barris
