Magnum Libre D'Escrime: Big Book Fencing

You can't learn to fence from a book. But you can learn significant things about fencing from a book." The book is for those who have learned fencing by fencing with quality fencers rather than from a Maitre d'Armes who is trained to teach, not just practice, the sport. The book is very complete--history, techniques, rules, equipment and troubleshooting thereof, drills, refereeing, teaching, making a fencing dummy (though the author also mentions that he sells them), and so on. The book certainly justifies its name--it covers the whole range of information one might need as a fencer.
