“The Book of the Sword” by Sir Richard Francis Burton. One of the best books you will read about swords (and other stuff, too).

Then, really give yourself a treat and read a couple of biographies about him.

Yea, I’ve read a bit about him. They don’t make them like that anymore.

Actually, read the books he wrote. He was a great writer. But keep a dictionary handy. You’ll need it.
