Phil devotes one very short paragraph to the swords use indoors. The gist of it is, use a shorter sword and watch out for stuff in the house.

Based on the over-all breakdown of the book, I would have to guess the he believes the sword is more useful on the street (ala Connor McCleod) than as a home defense weapon.

Now all he needs is someone to show him how to use one... :uhoh:

I just found this thread. I didn't read the book. I did read the reviews. I enjoyed the jokes here. That's all for starters. :D
...
I see that there's interest in such books. Now I DO carry (and use if I must) archaic weapons quite often as these are nearly the best tools for those stupid Hungarians who care about not breaking the laws. Should I write a book as well? :lol:

I have read this review on all 4 sites I found it posted. Man Phil is relentless. He just followed you to every forum and attacked you. I noticed he did the same thing on his reviews on Amazon. As a fellow writer, I feel such behavior is unprofessional on his part. He should just sit back and take the negative reviews without getting bent out of shape. I mean, you put stuff out there, that is what happens.
