A Sound Fencing Book February 19, 2004
Anita Evangelista (Springfield, MO USA)
A REVIEW BY NICK EVANGELISTA:This book has been around for quite a while, and for good reason. It is a fine, basic volume on fencing. I recommend it.
One of the best April 12, 2007
Phillip E. Gilbert (Everywhere, USA)
A simple and complete introduction to the sport. The text is a little dated but still accurate. Probably the best introductory book for the money.
classic always good January 18, 2008
Funny That (USA)
This book is a good introduction to Foil fencing. It does have some dated pictures but the information given still serves favorably for the new foil fencer. It should be clear this book should be used in addition to current lessons being taken to be able to extract the information correctly.
 A good basic guide to the sport March 27, 1998
Delia M. Turner (Haverford, PA USA)
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is a clearly written basic introduction to Olympic-style sport foil fencing, with good illustrations. It is much more readable than most others, and is written for a U.S. audience. Foil is the weapon most often used to teach beginners, and though I am a sabre fencer I found this book very useful during my first year.
