An invaluable listing of our Western martial heritage, September 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Bibliography of Fencing and Duelling, A (Paperback)
Thimm offers the most complete listing of historical fencing manuals and was one of the most thorough of Victorian era sword scholars. Most importnatly his material lists texts which actually still exist today and are being studied once again. - John Clements, HACA Director

5.0 out of 5 stars
A USEFUL AND INTERESTING REFERENCE VOLUME, April 6, 2001
This review is from: Complete Bibliography of Fencing and Duelling, A (Paperback)
Thimm's bibliography is one of the unique fencing related volumes of the nineteenth century. Along with Castle's "Schools and Masters of Fence," it should be in every fencing library. As the author of "The Art and Science of Fencing," "The Inner Game of Fencing," and "The Encyclopedia of the Sword;" and the Editor-in-Chief of FENCERS QUARTERLY MAGAZINE, I recommend it.
