Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
I seriously have to question the credentials of this author. Technically he has a blend of the orthodox and the ridiculous. His execution of movements are terrible. His scenarios and responses implausible and occasionally suicidal. The book is rather funny as a result.
He has a two finger poke to the eye defense that was taken from the Three Stooges...seriously. This book is THAT silly.
The fact that it was written in 1942 is no excuse. There were far better books back in the day.
