Books for beginners in English


Recommended Posts

A very usefull little book in Italian for beginers, "Technique di Kanteï".

 

If I dare to compare, as a French, with.... wine:

- you may learn a lot in books, know the sepages, the best process, regions, areas, and denominations, you can even dream yourself as an expert...without have taste wine once.

- at the same time, you can have tasted wine (maybe a lot) without been able to say "this one is a good one" and why.

- at the begining is good enough to say what you like and don't like, maybe why.

It is because tasting wine is an educated taste as, for me, appreciating nihonto. At the begining, I was only dreaming to find one (very difficult at the time)  but I had no taste.

 

What I realy like on this forum is to share with educated gentlemen and ladies, even if NewB's in swords...or wine.

Best regards,

P.S.: by the way how many ladies on NMB?
