mrhubbs Member Registered: 06/15/03 Posts: 418 Loc: Carmel, NY 10512	Anyone read this title? What did you think? I'm thinking of purchasing a copy for Dad/Sensei for Christmas. It's a beautiful book and, based on the reviews, it promises to be quite an interesting read, but at $75 a copy, I was hoping for a little more personal feedback. Thanks, David

The information inside is top notch and gave me some good insights, and Cook has a TON of notations and references. My favorite part is that it's absolutely unbiased, and he exposes the political side of martial arts in its early days. _________________________ Calling yourself "Master" implies that you have slaves.
