I got this book as a stop gap whist I was looking for lessons in Sword and shield and I found it very good. The layout has been well thought out and is very easy to follow, for a beginner it gives you a good grounding in the techniques you will need. The Parry/targeting system differs from what I've been taught in other sword fighting disciplines, but it isn't confusing.
The only fault I can find with it is a bit short for those with prior knowledge of swordplay and that the second and third books aren't available yet!
Will definitely buy the next ones once published.

How to get started with sword and shield.
21 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
I am not myself a beginner but used this book to help some starting in this activity.
They bought the book and could practice alone or with a friend to supplement lessons.
It is well laid-out with a special system to easily see how footwork combines with sword and shield movements.
Covers all the basics to allow someone to go from buying a sword and shield to a level where they can fight safely and competently.
