Not a bad book, just extremely basic.

Good info overall but, this book is best suited for someone who has zero knowledge of bladesmithing, or blacksmithing, and you want a quick breakdown of the essentials. Definitely not for anyone who is looking to improve their skills, but as I said, a good quick maiden voyage guide.
